In relation to the English cop in George Orwell’s writing, “Shooting An Elephant”, I've also experienced a great deal of pressure from my peers. Every time I make a presentation, I always feel like the people watching genuinely don't care about my opinions and actions. They sit there with their mouths drooling and their eyes everywhere, but on me. Needless to say, it gets my heart racing and my mind endlessly imagining the outcomes. I question myself with “Are they going to like it?” In general, I hate the idea of speaking just to hear my own voice. I can't help, but wonder if my audience would be more interested in my failure. As previously mentioned, pressure causes me to do things I wouldn't normally do in a comfortable environment.
