Here is a Day in my life as a Student
Hey Everyone, read with me as I take you through a day in my life as a student in Secondary School. Today's post is about an experience I once had, and if anyone can relate to this.
In my final year in
Secondary School, ( SS3, to be precise) I and a few others in my class were picked to
give a presentation in front of the school, this presentation was for us to prove to the school why we deserved to be given the
position of a School Prefect.
Our performance in the presentation was what qualified us to be given the position, as we were told that the things that will be looked at during the presentation were the points stated and our
demeanour while Presenting.
IDK if I was excited, but
I know for sure that I was scared, because I have never done anything like that
before, I have never spoken in the midst of just 10 people, talk less of a crowd!!
The whole School!! 'I was devastated'.
However, since I have always loved writing, I was able to pen down a really nice speech and
practised it, over and over again, I began to have courage and finally
perfected it (Or so I thought). After this, I was so sure that I was prepared and that I could do it very easily.
The D-day came...
After the greeting, on looking at the crowd, on looking at my fellow student, I blanked out, I didn't remember a single thing, and I began to stutter...
Have you ever been in
such a situation? If you have?
What did you do?
How did you feel afterwards?
What
did you do to make it right?
It ain't a good
experience, right?
That day, I barely said anything, simply said Thank you to
the crowd and left, feeling really ashamed and sad.
If only I could roll back
the hands of time... Would I have made things better if I really wanted to?
That day in my life is a day that I will always remember, it is a day that will always motivate me to build my self-worth and public speaking skills.
Yours Truly

I actually am a kind of person that can speak in front of crowds, but if this sort of thing happened to me all I would do is, not carry it on my neck thinking everyone has marked me for it. In fact I would learn from it and keep going on, not minding negative comments
ReplyDeleteonce in a while we encounter such experience. It might not be this exact problem but some sort of embarrassment, but this is the perfect way to handle such a thing.. KEEP BEING A DETERMINED PERSON, IT WILL SURELY TAKE YOU A LONG WAY.
