Today is the day when
we will present in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. The nerves
have not really kicked in yet. I do not know how I will react when I’m on the
stage. Hopefully practice makes perfect.
At around 10 am our
name was called out. “The next team to present is Presidio, TX.” Here we go! I
did not even feel nerves walking on the stage. As soon as Ali began introducing
us, my heart started pounding. In my mind I would tell myself to keep cool. I
had never felt so nerves. But then I told myself, Hello you know the material
just say it!!! This helped me loosen up, and I was able to present with
confidence. What felt like a hour of talking on stage really was only like 7
minutes. But we got through it as a team. We received a lot of positive
feedback from the SSEP program and the audience.
YAY!!!
You cannot imagine how proud I am of you. Again, speaking in front of some people you know is nothing compared to speaking in front of a lot of people you do not know! Yes, you knew your material plus you all had tremendous courage. My hat is off to all of you!
