Relieved

HUH!

Finally, the D-date, April 20th, came and left.
I just finished my presentation today.
I thought it was going to a really bad presentation since I never did well in any presentations....
If you were my INTEC classmates, you knew what I mean ~ the sweating, gagapness, over nervousness, super soft voices, trembling voice, Pn Suzana's horrible comments etc, etc..
In short, they were mere disasters and bad memory!

But, the presentation I gave today was not at all bad.
Of course, I still couldn't speak like an American.
But, at least the professor and classmates knew what I was presenting :)
Also, since the class was so small ~ less than 15 peoples, I managed to give a few good eye contacts. ><
I must thank some of the classmates who nodded and smiled while I'm presenting.
The gestures provided me extra strength and confidence to perform better.
Also, a big thank to the girl, who likes to ask questions, for asking me good questions.
It gave me a chance to answer them professionally :)

Actually, before I did my presentation, I thought of Kendo.
I reminisced the scene where I was the last person doing the Kirigaishi in the court.
Although many eyes were watching me, I still tried my best to do every strike precisely and shout out loud.
I realized that I should not be afraid to make mistakes because everyone is a student in the court; we're just trying to learn from each other.
The presentation should work the same way too.
The audiences were all students; we're learning from each other.
So, there were nothing to be embarrassed of if I made a mistake.
In fact, I might help them perform better with my mistakes!
The idea gave my the confidence I never had.
And, thanks God, I was able to carry out my presentation calmly :)

Though I've survived the presentation, there is still a long way to go before I can be a good and eloquent public speaker. Hopefully, I'll have more chances to train myself in other future presentations.

Also, four girls presented today. But, I'm the only 1 wearing trousers...
Time to get some flowery nice skirts :D
