Toast Masters journey begins

On 17th july 2023, i submitted my toastmasters club membership form to one of the club officer in Informatica. (20$ as New Member fee & Membership Dues as 45$). 50% waived off meaning, The 32.5$ shall be paid by my company, Informatica. I continues to attend the toast masters club meet , on the thursdays i could make out time. I twice nominated for grammarian role before i received my credentials . On 11 August, 2023, i happen to receive the below email

Which meant, now i had to choose a learning path from the toastmasters portal and very soon, prepare for my ice breaker speech .

Today, on 5th september, i am preparing my ice breaker speech and shall be presenting in front of the toast masters group on 7th september . Thinking of me standing without a paper in hand to read from, gimme chills and nervousness.

24th october : So far, i have given my 3 prepared speeches in toastmasters in Level 1 . My Path is : Level 1 Base camp, i.e. 'Persuasive Influence'.
