I feel like I have gotten a bit more confident. Don't get me wrong I still hate presenting in front of the class. But I have started conversations with people I normally don't talk to every day and I am not embarrassed by some stuff. I feel like being friends with the friends I have now have made me more confident. I am happy and feel more confident overall.
Well, my word didn't help me this week. I had to present my economics project and well.. I did horrible. It didn't help that two of the four group members were gone and I didn't know their slides. I tried to be confident during it but my nerves got in the way. We ended up getting a pretty bad score but I have to realize that I am going to be embarrassed a ton in my high school career. I just have to be myself and be confident.
My word is helping me through some classes. Just like Economics with all the projects and games that we do. I realize that nobody is going to remember what I say even if I have no clue what I am talking about. Plus I have to speak up in the groups and talk to people who aren't doing their job.
In general business, there is a lot of presenting power points in front of the class. So I have to be confident. Especially when there is a lot of upperclassmen in that class who I don't talk to. I have done two presentations and so far they have went really well. I think it's better when I have a few friends in there but anyways I have to realize that presentations aren't a big deal.
