People mess up, humans aren’t perfect, even though we like to feel like we are. I would like to be the first to say that I didn’t have much creativity in my performance and that I could have added more flair. I didn’t get the best grade, but since it’s my first time doing an assessment like this I completely understand. I know that from here I can only go higher.
