I was so nervous yesterday, because I was going to have to re-read my VFW speech in front of some strange people and some veterans. I only knew two of the veterans. They were Jim Barnes and Bob Mattox. i thought Bailey and I were going to have read our speeches again, but all that was happened was that we got our rewards and got some pictures taken. I was nervous for no reason at all.
I am going to show you a video of Bailey and me reading our speeches for the first time... Okay... maybe not, I can't find a video, so I will just keep talking (typing).
I am going back to the time I first read my speech. I was so nervous that when I went down the bleachers i almost fell. When I was in the middle of reading, the nice old lady knocked the freakin' microphone down and i just kept reading while she was messing with it! Finally, she just said, "Just hold it!" Isn't that nice to interrupt me! NOT! That is when my face got really red. I could hear my whole class, EMMY, JAYLYN, ABBEY, CAYSIE, and the rest of you laugh at me. So there I was trying to hold my hand steady so I could
actually read my paper. I kept studdering, so no one could understand and I got made fun of for a couple days after the incident.
And guess what, after I got done reading and started to walk back up the bleachers, I said, "I SUCKED!" I meant to whisper it, but it was a lot louder than that. The whole gym laughed at me! EVERYONE. You know what, GUYZZZ, just wait until you have to read a sucky speech infront of the whole school. Better just start out holdng the microphone, so your face does not get as red as a cherry, In my case, redder than a cherry. Just wait!!! Then Bailey and I can laugh at you for it. So HA HA HA! HA! HA! HA!
