A personal experience that made me see life differently

Something that has caused me to see life differently, was during my sophomore year of high school. It all started from a situation that happened in my sophomore of high school. I was giving a presentation front of my classmates and as I got to the front of the classroom my anxiety kicked in, I didn’t know what to expect, I didn’t know that all of this was going to happen. As I was standing there trying to give my presentation but I couldn’t move on with my presentation because my anxiety had kicked in and was causing a dilemma, as I was standing there trying to give my presentation I began to sweat and my classmates began to notice that I was sweating, the minute they saw that I was sweating they all began to make fun of me. I was so embarrassed I didn’t know what to do. So I stood there and tried to power through my presentation. …show more content…

Crackle, pop the fire sounded as I placed new logs on top of the hot embers.

Personal Narrative: Wahlert

577 Words | 3 Pages

As I write this, I’m sitting in the air conditioned 20 by 30 foot Campus Ministry room. It makes me feel nostalgic to think that it was just last year I was sitting in a room by the same name with strikingly different characteristics: cramped, muggy, hazy yellow lighting. Since my freshman year the entire building has slowly evolved from the latter to the former. Now as a senior, the renovations are over halfway completed, and it makes me feel funny to think that in the near future the Wahlert of my freshman year will be long forgotten in both appearance and culture. As graduation gets closer, however, I have realized that my frustration toward the internal changes of Wahlert do nothing but overshadow the good memories I have of Wahlert.

When I first started my high school career, I was engulfed with fear. The fear that I would not fit it, the fear that everyone would think I was awkward, and most of all the fear of not doing well in my classes. Before I knew it, all the stuff I was taught about puberty in elementary school would come to pass. I was never really the most social person, sadly, most of the time I struggle with social anxiety, this made it really hard for me socialize and make new friends. I had never really had a clique or a legitimate group of friends whom I would spend the majority of my time with, I typically just worked as often as I could because my family owns a restaurant, so instead of practicing socializing skills with friends, I practiced management
