Top of my class
Grade 6
I was asked to read a speech infront of everyone on a stage in our graduation day
I was given a piece of paper with the speech on it and i was given 2 weeks to memorize it
I did, the day had come and i finally went up on stage. Then it hit me, i have massive stage fright and everything i memorized was gone like that, i stood there in dead silence with a mic on my hand saying nothing for a few minutes. My advisor gestured his hand as if to say “go” i had to make up a sentimental speech that had to go on for 10 minutes on the spot, some of the lines i said was in the actual speech, most of them weren’t, noone seemed to notice since i think i was the only one who knew what the speech was really supposed to be. I still can’t get it off my head how i just stood there with everyone staring at me.
