Thursday night during the SGA Senate meeting, I introduced my first piece of legislation. It was the third time I talked after giving two speeches in previous meetings and I did not know if the rest of senators were going to support my resolution. While I was giving the first reading, I definitely felt nervous and my I am sure that my body expressions (nonverbal, automatic) showed that. I could feel my voice trembling, my legs shaking, and my mind telling me to calm down. I was sharing information with about 50 people that were paying close attention to me. By the time of technical questions, I got more calmed and I was able to respond accurately to all the questions that the rest of senators had without worrying as much. My emotions had control at the beginning but I was able to dominate them in order to communicate effectively.
