MY GOD. HOW NERVE WRECKING THAT WAS.
I thought to my self as I write down this blogpost. This post is about my experience at the Public Speaking competition that occurred this Wednesday. The story of how I almost got destroyed. gahd
Sir Nomer, our teacher, chose people to do the ignite and the pubspe finals. For some godlike reason, I was included in that bloody list. It was me, Ron Padilla, Lexis Pascua, Kim Quijano, and Gile Cabison. Who would've thought that it would actually be a contest and an event. In front of people. IN FRONT OF JUDGES?! *ehem* Yes.
If you know me as a person, I do not memorize speeches, even the ones that Sir Nomer said to. I just don't. It's not my style. BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT seeing that IT WAS ACTUALLY A COMPETITION ( which I was informed late about ), I did try my best to memorize a full page. A full page that I actually DID NOT USE.
wait. Did not use? Yes you heard me. After the opening, we went straight to the designated rooms. AND HEY, I AM SECOND TO TELL THE SPEECH. The terrifying part was that I actually did not FULLY memorized everything. Just you know, major keywords and stuff. *BENG* First person was called and I couldn't read the speech in front of my eyes. From the seats, i couldnt read my own piece. I was blinded. I also couldn't hear properly to follow that up. *BOOM* HERE WE GO!?
I was called out to the front. I thought to my self to do it like any other speech project. With a smile and without stopping for the dreadful dead air moments that I myself hated.
The thing here is that after my hook and the first paragraph, I couldnt remember anything from my speech anymore. The second paragraph started with "Integrity" but I do not know the words after them. Stopping from there. 2 seconds in with silence, I dare stop the 2 second silence. EVERYTHING FROM THEN ON BECAME WHAT MY SPEECH WAS. A bloody impromptu one. TIll the end of course. I could feel my hands were shaking as I present. I just couldn't handle everything properly since they were all staring at me. My god. I dont want to go into more asdnjzxncjznxjcnzjcxnzjx
And hey, everything that I hoped for was done!
