A personal experience that made me see life differently

Something that has caused me to see life differently, was during my sophomore year of high school. It all started from a situation that happened in my sophomore of high school. I was giving a presentation front of my classmates and as I got to the front of the classroom my anxiety kicked in, I didn’t know what to expect, I didn’t know that all of this was going to happen. As I was standing there trying to give my presentation but I couldn’t move on with my presentation because my anxiety had kicked in and was causing a dilemma, as I was standing there trying to give my presentation I began to sweat and my classmates began to notice that I was sweating, the minute they saw that I was sweating they all began to make fun of me. I was so embarrassed I didn’t know what to do. So I stood there and tried to power through my presentation. …show more content…

Having social anxiety has changed a lot of things. And my was of seeing things differently in life. I haven’t been the same since giving my presentation my sophomore year of high school. I now have a constant fear of giving presentations to my classmates, and also just talking to people in general. Not only has this situation caused me to have social anxiety at school, but it has also caused me to have social anxiety outside of school. It has caused me to be afraid to talk to people in public places or just talking to people in general. It has caused me an everyday difficulty. It makes me see life differently because of the fact that I don’t want to go out and do things because I am afraid to talk to

Personal Narrative: The Great Battle

Crackle, pop the fire sounded as I placed new logs on top of the hot embers. This was the fire the children of my village sat around and told stories before they went to sleep, and tonight was no different. All of their eyes stared at me expectantly as they waited for me to start telling them a story. “Two Rivers Running, tell us the Story of the Great Battle again,” the little ones asked. All eyes were on me as I sat down next to them, everyone silent as I told them the story of the Great Battle.

Personal Narrative: Wahlert

577 Words | 3 Pages

As I write this, I’m sitting in the air conditioned 20 by 30 foot Campus Ministry room. It makes me feel nostalgic to think that it was just last year I was sitting in a room by the same name with strikingly different characteristics: cramped, muggy, hazy yellow lighting. Since my freshman year the entire building has slowly evolved from the latter to the former. Now as a senior, the renovations are over halfway completed, and it makes me feel funny to think that in the near future the Wahlert of my freshman year will be long forgotten in both appearance and culture. As graduation gets closer, however, I have realized that my frustration toward the internal changes of Wahlert do nothing but overshadow the good memories I have of Wahlert.

Personal Narrative: Moving To Chicago

Each time I was shoved into the middle of an awkward situation it was like having my head thrust into a bucket of cold water -- it was awful and painful and jarring, and there were moments that felt like drowning, but each time my head went under I was able to hold my breath just a little longer. This newfound confidence has vastly improved my quality of life. Without that anxiety, the whole world is at my fingertips and I can see the richness and beauty of this world; things I would never experience if I spent all my days in the same ten-mile radius with the same twenty people my whole

Quite a while back I composed a section about "Wonderful Things.

Belonging In High School

437 Words | 2 Pages

When I first started my high school career, I was engulfed with fear. The fear that I would not fit it, the fear that everyone would think I was awkward, and most of all the fear of not doing well in my classes. Before I knew it, all the stuff I was taught about puberty in elementary school would come to pass. I was never really the most social person, sadly, most of the time I struggle with social anxiety, this made it really hard for me socialize and make new friends. I had never really had a clique or a legitimate group of friends whom I would spend the majority of my time with, I typically just worked as often as I could because my family owns a restaurant, so instead of practicing socializing skills with friends, I practiced management

That is the point at which it deteriorated due to everybody gazing at me. I sighed and began my presentation. I was reading off a paper trying to avoid looking at the class. I couldn't quit shaking and the class could see that by the paper I was holding shaking a ton. I stuttered all through my present but later on stopped because when I made eye contact with my colleagues most of them weren't even looking, they were on their phones or were taking a nap which made me less anxious.
