This week's blog post is brought to you by my 13-year-old son. I have spoken of him before. He was diagnosed with a Generalized Anxiety Disorder at the age of 7. Recently, his school held a public speaking competition and all the kids were expected to write and present a speech, 3 to 5 minutes in length. These speeches were presented in class, and then some were selected to present their speeches to a panel of judges from the community in the school gym.
