Personal Essay Speech

Uggh.

That is all I can say.

I presented my personal essay today.

I sucked.

I mean, I got a B, but I felt terrible while doing it.

I wanted to be super prepared, so I wrote notecards on what I was going to say.

And then I just stared at them the entire time.

So that was the first and last time I'll ever do that.  I do better when I just wing it anyways.

At the end, everyone writes on a little piece of paper what they think you did well, and what you could improve.

The things that everyone wrote didn't help me at all.

If anything, they just confused me more.

Some people said I had good posture, some said to work on it.

Some said confident and prepared, others said be more prepared.

Half said talking at a good pace, the others either said slow down, or speed up.

I couldn't please anyone.

In the end, the only thing most of them agreed on was to look up from my notecards more.

But I could have told them that myself.

Uggh.

How I felt about this yesterday.
