This past nine weeks has definitely been a roller coaster. I’ve definitely cracked down more on myself and I’ve learned a lot of things in this time period. I think it really comes down to what I did to do well, the criticism I received on subjects that need tweaking, and occurrences that withhold me from getting the one.
In my qualifying events (DI, POI), I seriously tried my hardest to practice and I know that I could’ve done even better. I practiced on the days where I didn’t stay up till ten to eleven at night doing homework (even though that wasn’t often.) For DI, I kept cutting and tweaking and cutting and tweaking every time I got a ballot asking me to change something about my piece. For POI, I know I could’ve done better.

I mainly got the comments asking for me to speak up and about my jerky blocking and how I need to work on showing my emotions a bit better. In POI, it was mainly about me speaking up, I needed to show more emotion, more consistency, and more confidence. In poetry, I didn’t really compete much with it, but from what I received I mainly needed to polish a few things here and there.
In DI and in POI, I think one of the many reasons I didn’t get as far as I wanted to was because I was still tweaking and because I was just up against schools who have a good reputation. That definitely made me feel inferior and I had less confidence any time anyone from Lake Travis, Chaparral Star Academy, or James Bowie was in my round. In poetry, I honestly think it was because of my lack of hardcore practice and because of my cockiness. Cockiness overall is what made me lose, because I was a ditwad.
Overall, this nine weeks was one of the biggest turning points of this year and it has absolutely opened my eyes to see what I could do better and become a better person, get my message(s) out further, and to exceed expectations in becoming more
