What would be a good way to start a speech about yourself without saying "m

Question:

What would be a good way to start a speech about yourself without saying "my name is..."?

I am supposed to do a speech for speech class tomorrow. I have no idea how to do a good basic speech and I am also very shy to do this. What can I do to overcome my shyness? Even with preparation, I still shake, lose my voice, and turn red while I speak. I am trying my best to me this first speech a great one. The speech topic is about yourself / family / pet / sports / vacation / etc - I am just not sure what I should really talk about (2-3 min long :() and how to start one / end one in a unique way. Help and give me suggestions so I can feel more confident for tomorrow's speech. 10 pts and thanks :)
