Today, while giving speech in class, I choked on my own spit and had a coughing fit while everyone stared at me intently. When I finally regained my composure, my teacher told me my time was up and to sit down. I hadn't even got finished the first paragraph. FML

Oh wow that exact same thing happened to me in 11th grade when I was forced to give a speech. Ask your teacher if you can redo it. Maybe she'll be willing to let you try again

It might be terrible to practice, but public speaking is a very essential and useful skill.

I'm sorry you "hadn't even got finished the first paragraph" while "giving speech". I'm also hoping your teacher stopped you because of your grammar. I normally don't worry too much about grammar in these stories, but this was too awful to ignore.

Are you going to get marked down for having this coughing fit? Will she let you make up the assignment? If not, you should definitely complain to somebody higher up.

This has happened to me before! Just ask the instructor to redo it sometime, I'm sure they'll let you.
