history: I had to give a speech in front of a lot of people. I practiced for two weeks until I had it down perfect. Last month I had to give a speech in front of a lot of people. I was nervous when I first found out. Oh I'm so socially awkward and anxious I'd never be able to give a speech. How did it turn out?
current: I practiced over and over again until the day of the speech. It ended up going really well!
next: I'm so happy to hear that! Practice does make perfect.
