FCCLA club competition
Well I was actually going to write about my week this week but I changed the idea to the my club's compeitition today. (my club is called FCCLA or Future Career and Community Leaders of America.)
Why was I so stressed and nervous about the competition? Well considering that today is thursday we didn't really know about this until monday so we had only 3 days to get a portfolio together and present on it. So this was stressful because I had other homework on top of doing a whole portfolio in 3 days which was alot of work. Thus because I had such little time to prepare the portfolio wasn't as great and I had to get it done quickly which made me stressed because I had so little time to put it together.
So then when we got to BYU to present what we had done I got nervous again. Why did I feel this way? I felt this way because I had never done an FCCLA competition so I had no idea how it was like, so I was scared about the unknown basically. Then the other reason is that I sat outside the room, and while I waited for my turn I made up what I was going to say. So because of this I felt very rushed and stressed because I had to write up what I was going to say on note cards before it was my turn. Therefore because I had to mostly concentrate on getting my portfolio done I hadn't had enough time to make up my speech. So by making it up on the spot I got stressed because I wasn't ready and couldn't relax.
After my speech was over I felt relieved but why would I feel like that? It's because I was done with the speech, so I wouldn't have to stand in judges and try and sound like I knew what I was talking about. Basically I could relax because I didn't have to stand in any more judges during the day. It was done! So of course my nerves relaxed.
Despite being nervous about the compeition I am greatful I went to it because I had to go to that in order to go to the state competition. But yes I get nervous about presenting things easily if I am not prepared, but hey it wasn't my fault because our advisor didn't tell us until monday of this week!
