class presentation
Posted On 09/13/2007 01:28:55 by sonya99

So I had one today for Speech. It was 4 minutes long. I didn't totally freak out and start tearing up, so it didn't go that badly. I don't really care about my grade so long as I passed. 

 But oddly enough, the hardest part of my day was English class. I've got a really blunt teacher who doesn't coddle you...like all other classes, i haven't voluntarily participated in any discussions, but the teacher has called on me a couple times. She made me answer a homework question today...my voice was all quavery and low and husky. Plus, turns out I didn't really address the question. I held it together through class, and then afterwards I went to cry in the bathroom. I'm so ashamed. Why am I so sensitive? All I do is solidify my reputation as someone who's not normal, who can't participate in things, someone to be handed gingerly.

 I'm really starting to get sick of people feeling sorry for me. I want to show people that I can handle things*sigh*

I have a  professor who is like that. She's very gruff and blunt and um, not nice. I almost always get a quavery voice when I talk to her. It sucks!

Consider this:  look at the things you're trying to do that you're scared of, and how much work you put it into doing them; doesn't that count for something in the way of strength?  I think anyone with SA who goes out there and faces any of their phobias is pretty damn strong.  Don't beat yourself up.  The fact that you did any of it is something to be proud of, not ashamed of.  (even though I completely understand feeling that way.  *Completely*)

You win a tarsier for getting through the first speech.  You didn't tell me about english class.  Want me to go beat up yr teacher for ya?  Hate teachers like that.  Let the people who want to talk answer questions!
