Presentation Pressure


-Henry Ford
Failure. It happens.

I honestly shouldn't have been surprised at the end result of my presentation. Even though the info was in my head, I let the pressure and stress of presentation anxiety get to me and blanked out. Sitting in my chair, it was disappointing at the time to know right after the failed presentation yesterday that I was thinking of all the things I could've said but didn't do.

Now I understand that I need to work on stressing out less and practicing for presentations more. I do realize that it is okay to fail as long as I pick myself up and try again. Luckily, there's still time for me to prepare and raise my grade. The 2-hour (more like 1.5) final senior presentation is yet to come. In the mean time, I'll sell a box of chocolate to improve my public speaking skills and hopefully instill confidence.
