Last year I participated in the Rotary Speech Contest. I had a great experience, not only because I was able to talk about whatever I wanted, but because I was gaining better speaking skills for my sophomore research project. This gave me motivation. But this year I had no motivation, nothing pushing me forward. And the reason for not having a goal was stressing me out.
