    I had the same problem as you when I was in high school and had to present project...it felt like my heart wanted to jump out of me, I forgot everything, and my hands shaked...but know that these will pass, just relax, be really prepared, take a deep breath, focus focus focus on what you have to say...just know that your symptoms will go away...don't let the panic attack get to you...or imagine something funny about the people, like they are all naked wearing only black socks and a clown nose...beforehand just imagine yourself after the situation...and that it went well and you are happy...
