In school we had a mint project in Health and Career. We had to create a keynote presentation that explained 10 things that we carry everyday to make ourselves succesful, mental and physical. Keynote is basically a version of PowerPoint, but it was made specifically for Apple. It was originally used just by the people form Apple but they decided to put it on to apple products such as iPads and iPhones. Our class had not used keynote before, so this assignment mainly focused on recognizing what we carry every day and our keynote skills. At the beginning it was all a mad scramble to find out how to use keynote. After just playing with it for a little bit you get the hang of it and it becomes a lot easier than you thought it would be. I was very overwhelmed, but I ended up doing a pretty decent job for my first time.
Personally I have never been comfortable with public speaking I have always gotten really stressed out and wanted to just not show up to school so I wouldn’t have to do it. In the end though I just figure out a way to get through it and just finish it. The funny thing about presentations is that when you think you’re done your not… you still have to deal with questions. To be completley hones that is the hardest part if people have lots of questions because you can’t prepare for that as well as the actuall presentation. Presentations are kind of onnoying because until you finish them they are always hanging over you head, but they don’t happen very often which is nice. When they do happen though I just say to myself, “What can you do when you live in a shoe.” FYI I don’t actually live in a shoe its a figure of speech.
This is how I feel in class sometimes, but then I realize I acutally havt to do the assignment or presentation, and that face turns into a stressed face.
Once I am finally done I feel so much better and I can finally relax, but wait I have more assignments to do, eh.
