Public speaking might be one of the most difficult hurtles for many students to overcome. But speaking publicly when there are cameras around and possibly the next President of the United States can be extremely nerve wrecking. Barack Obama was watching students in the Denver area today while they were presenting their projects. Theodore Rodriguez, 13, got high marks for his warm personality but was advised to look at his audience more and make sure to finish his thought before moving on to the next point. "You got a little nervous. It's understandable. It's not every day you have to speak in front of the national press," Obama said. Barack Obama ended on, "This is really hard to do, by the way," Obama added. "Not only could I not have done it in eighth grade, I probably couldn't have done it just before I ran for president."
