The classroom was quiet as presentation time began. When it was Ayaan’s turn, he stood beside the projector, holding his note cards. But suddenly, his mind went blank and he couldn’t remember his lines.
For a moment, the room was silent and Ayaan felt embarrassed.
Then a quiet classmate named Sara spoke gently, “I think the next part was about how recycling helps reduce waste in cities.”
Ayaan smiled with relief. “Yes, that’s right,” he said, continuing his presentation.
