*Palms Sweaty*

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy/
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti/
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready/ 
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting/ 
What he wrote down/


So, last week I had to do an informative speech. I was going crazy because I couldn't pick a subject to write about. I also hate public speaking; and when I am nervous my words seem to scramble together. After some last minute brainstorming, I decided to do a speech on dance. I felt as though I was highly qualified to do so as I've been dancing since I could pretty much walk. I took two dance classes( tap and ballet), cheered for two years, danced on a pom team for two years, danced for the majestics dance team for four years; and became co-captain and captain, and even danced on a hip-hop team for about three years. Since I've been in college, I was enrolled in a Dance History class(of which I learned a lot), for about 3 weeks before I dropped it. Since dance has been a part of my life for so long, I was comfortable with speaking on the subject (or at least I thought I was). Having a PowerPoint behind me made things a little bit easier but I was still nervous. Anywho, I checked my grade online and I got a 99%! This has got to be a mistake!
