it's been a longgg time since i do presentations.. 2 yrs in the army had successfully downgrade the use of my grammer and vocab and filled me wif army jargons and lingos where those typical ah benggg and ah sengggg communicate as if a fight could happen anytime..

this wk.. my presentations were back-to-back.. and i felt tt i realli had 2 speak well.. here's the recap

monday
the nite b4 i slept at 5am coz i jus couldn't get myself 2 slp.. i went 2 class abit not feelin well.. wif cough and flu buggin me all dae longgg.. i had 2 put on a show 4 my classmates and the teacher.. and the 1st few slides was a total disaster.. i stutter and stutter all the way and more stutterings came along as i attempt 2 speak and explain the slide.. then i saw my teacher april writin down a whole lot of stuff.. i was like, "ohhh no.." and i even call a bow tie a "RIBBON" (to my utmost horror!!!!)

and all my classmates tt had presented b4 me had actualli managed 2 present and elaborate well on their slides.. i was so disappointed.. i realli pray tt i can pass.. i didnt present certain items tt my classmates had presented and i felt so lost..

tuesday
after the disaster on monday.. i wan 2 bounce back from the loss of confidence tt i suffered.. i had myself prepared mentally 4 the presentation.. once again i stutter from the start.. and i keep tellin myself.. "focus and look on the notes tt i jot down 4 elaboration.." i stared it 4 quite some time.. i look at the slide again.. and i tot tt it'll b best tt i jus read it from the slide.. and after i did tt.. i felt some confidence 2 speak wif my own words..

but this time the teacher andy actualli looked at me positively and thus i felt tt it was a great vote of confidence.. and i continue speakin until the end.. i knew i did better than yesterdae.. but i jus felt tt its not gddd enuff and i had 2 improve.. esp nxt yr and when i graduated from this course...

apart from these presentations i also felt tt i need 2 communicate the rite way 2 my p5 kids esp when my ministry senior ruth goes ard pickin children and even tutors 4 the wrong usage of vocab and grammer... i jus need 2 get back 2 basics..

and hopefully i'll not b picked tt much when i resume teaching my p5 class this sat..
