“I forgot to my joke” “My supplies at my table” “Four minutes already! I’m not even on my main idea yet!” “I did so badly”. Many bad thoughts flew b as I went through my speech; I thought that I was going to be the person to “wow the crowd”; “people remember the person who goes first and the person who goes last the most” (Danielle Woody). That did not work out. I did a “How-to-Speech” on ‘how to reuse clothes’. I would give myself below an F-.My goal was to start the speech a week before I actually presented it, which I did, but “old habits die hard” as going to University High School, the unnamed motto was “procrastination; procrastination”. Therefore the day before I was supposed to give my speech was when I started working on it. Unsurprisingly,

That was just the tip of the ice berg; I had not done the PowerPoint Presentation that went with my speech. Let me not even start on the outline. Everything us an utter mess. So with frustration at 12am October 01, I tossed my pants to more important things, like finishing my outline and PowerPoint. What hit me the hardest was if I was unable to get at least one practice in, I would bomb my speech. Still at 4:00am I could not force my body to stay awake any longer. I was near the point of crying when I looked at the time and it was 6:00am, three hours before my speech. I barely finished my PowerPoint presentation and outline in time. Sadly I could not say the same for my Calculus study guide and speech practice. So, with no sleep I got ready for school. It shocked me to see how fast time flew. I was not afraid to giving speeches, I was the treasurer for Gavel Club (speech club) for four years in a row I hoped at least one person would take anything away from my speech. This went through my mind as I saw my classmates give terrific by terrific speeches in front of everybody. I prayed inside that my speech would be half decent. Jordan’s wonderful speech on “How to survive a bear attack” only cemented that feeling of …show more content…
Martinez said those words and I blanked, not realizing it, until the middle of my speech: `I forgot all my materials and money back at the table. Everything fell apart from the beginning onward. First I forgot to print out my outline, then I forgot to say my joke about the kinds of shoppers at the cash register and I left my visuals at my table. So in the middle of my speech I walked back to my table to grab my money; leaving my sewing supplies behind again. The sheer nervousness at the beginning of my speech seemed to fuel the wreak, but I did not let it show. Turning back the clock, so I had more time to prepare was all I could think about. Nothing was going well for me, and being in a speech club for four years no doubt! The four minute mark shocked me, because I was still on my introduction. I knew it was over then; the train had crashed and burned. This is what began the rambling during my actual ‘How-to turn a maxi dress into pants’ speech. When I explained for example how to fold the dress after cutting and giving visual aids on what it should look like, I tried to make up for everything wrong by adding in jokes about my butt, to make the class laugh. It worked, but added to my over time. The faces of my classmates did not give away what my mind gave away: I slipped
