First-year student speaks on overcoming nerves when in front of people
The Briefly News team enjoyed speaking with Luhle Mgandela, a first-year Bcom Accounting student at the UJ who shared that overcoming nerves in front of a panel is difficult.
"The trick is not to look at them in the eyes but at their foreheads. Jokes aside, practising a lot often helps as it gets easier to pronounce difficult words."
"Another trick a person can try is to practise in front of a few people, whether its family or friends."
