Today was the most stressful day of the week. We had something to do for all our subjects, quizzes, homework etc. I was too stressed out and I didn't even have the time to eat. I just ate a pack of candy and that was it.
Anyway, the worst thing that happened was when my Filipino teacher approached me and I noticed that he was holding my poem which he asked us to do a couple of weeks ago. We were supposed to write about Christmas and peace in Filipino for an event of some sort. I can honestly tell you that I did that in less than an hour and I merely played with words because I knew it wasn't something
major. It was just a simple homework.
SO, imagine my surprise
(and horror!!!) when he told me that they chose my poem for the event. My teacher told me that I have to present it with feelings and shit. Don't get me wrong, I was happy that I got chosen, but I never get picked for those kind of things. I'm never the performer, I just watch people. I'm not yet sure if I'm going to be the one to say it in front of the school, but still. I suck at those kinds of things. I don't have a talent and speaking in front of
hundreds of people is like death to me. It's one of my biggest fears. I'm just not confident when it comes to doing things in front of a lot of people.
People might think it's not a big deal, but for me it is. Whenever I think about it my palms get all sweaty and I have to tell myself a million times to calm down. Maybe it's funny to think that I'm being stressed about something so shallow. But it's
ME I'm talking about. I've never done this thing before and I've always hated delivering speeches back in second year. Plus, I don't like attention because it always makes me feel uncomfortable.
Maybe I should stop fretting about it and be proud of myself for doing such a good job instead. I know I have to calm down and it's silly to be stressed out about it, but it's just SCARY. I seriously regret passing that homework. I shouldn't have done the stupid homework.
I was literally begging my teacher to have someone to present it instead. They could use my poem, but not just
me. A little part of me is saying that I should go and do it because it's something I'll only get to do once in my life and finally, finally, people appreciated my writing skills
(orly?!), but the thought of speaking in front of my whole school
(I'm talking about the whole community here, okay) just makes me feel weak. And no, I'm not exaggerating.
