Work, Work & More Work!

During the past couple of weeks I've been swamped with work! I've had several papers & assignments. & on top of that I had a six page paper along with a presentation. I haven't had time to breathe & I've been so stressed out about this presentation. I hate having to speak in front of people! Presentations for school or interviews for a job... I can't stand it. I have been up numerous nights working on this paper & trying to prep myself for this presentation.

The presentation I did was about Whitney Houston & how I looked at her situation with the drugs & the abuse through a public relations perspective. I had to state facts about her "come back" & give my opinion on what I would have done to help her regain her positive image in the public eye. Writing the paper was the easy part for me, it was actually getting up there to present that was the battle for me. A lot of things that I'm afraid of in life I try my best to avoid instead of facing my fears. So something as simple as this presentation shows my growth as a person. Me being able to face & conquer something that I'm terrified of.

So last night I had dreams about my presentation & I was up at the crack of dawn nervous & anxious. I got ready, put on my business attire & I went over the material over & over again. I got to school & it was finally time! I went up in the front of my class to present my case & display my power point... As the first sentence came out of my mouth, my professor told me to calm down & relax. She could tell that I was extremely nervous & uncomfortable. I took a deep breath & continued & throughout the presentation I became more comfortable... She said I did a good job. I'm so glad that I went through with it & it's finally over!
