A small essay about my past experience

About 5 years ago, when I became a college student, when I was asked to make a speech in the at English class one day. [There are enough indicators of time alrready.](It was the a formal class  where we studied just for tests and graduation), I was so nervous, even at the time we had the English oral speaking class at other occasions, even though we had had English speaking classes before but I freaked out on the stairs, and as a result I spoke very slowly. After serveal years graduated, Now,several years after graduation now I can speak really fast, and I still remember the day when I was standing in front of everybody, at and standing there I just dreamed one day I would become a good English speaker [it would be more English to say dreamed of becoming a fluent English speaker one day, but today when I can approach this goal (I am on my way to reaching this goal), always remembering the people who had helped me training learning English, and the teachers who had enouraged me when I was not so good. I'm so appreciated them I appreciate them a lot and will never forget them.
