When I arrived at the lecture hall for the group presentation I felt calm and relaxed. whereas One of my partners was rather nervous. I knew that if my partner couldn’t calm down before we presented it would reflect poorly on me too, My plan was to do some simple breathing exercises with him in hopes that he would feel less anxious.
