Thank you but I'm still having trouble. I have to give this speech this evening so I'm really trying to make sure I say the right thing, I'm super nervous. :/ Any other resources other than that perhaps?

Well mind you, that that is one beautifully written essay! Though I would re-work the last sentence. But other that that just look above the heads of your adience, make sure you use the bathroom before going, and remember to be loud. :)
