I have not posted anything in so long, I have been so busy. There is so much to do to graduate at my school.
I had to do a 7 page research paper in the beginning of the year, which was not that hard. So I was not as busy doing the essay as I was when we had to do a portfolio. The school gave us about a week or two to do a portfolio and it was difficult to work on that while still focusing on my other classes. The portfolio was so stressful especially since I didn't have enough time to do it. My portfolio was 56 pages and absolutely great, I worked quite hard on it but boy was it a pain.
We also had to do a presentation. I am very shy(except with friends), quiet, and not the best people person. I get super nervous talking in front of people and I even considered just not doing the presentation. We did a practice presentation and I did better than I thought I did, my voice was a little shaky but I spoke clear and was not so nervous.
Doing this presentation helped me to realize how I have grown. I am still that shy girl I was years ago but I have learned to better socialize and speak my opinion. I hate that I still turn red but I don't get so nervous and shaky like I used to and I feel as time goes I will be better.
When I did the real presentation, in front of the panel, I got more nervous than the practice one but I got my score and I got 12/12, just like I got in my practice presentation. I am so happy and I need to stop being hard on myself.
Now that I am done with this stress, I am back. I will be posting things once a week, I want to post twice a week because I have a lot to say but we'll see.
