The whole toastmaster experience is very interesting . Last night I gave my second speech . Ever since my first one a month ago I ' ve been itching to get out and talk again , I 'd already prepared two more speeches , all I needed was the chance to speak .

What do you think was the main reason the author decided to join Toastmasters in the first place ?
they had a fear of public speaking and had learned this was a way to overcome that fear and learn to speak well .
