I just feel pain and hurt right now. I was meant to present a dish to my faculty. The decision for who would present it was made this morning, which I never knew about. It was an impromptu act. I was meant to present it in Igbo language and add some extra points to it. I blurted out rubbish because I’m not fluent in speaking it. There were two dishes, and both looked the same. Out of anxiety, and because I didn’t use my glasses, I mistook them for each other and was corrected. One judge asked if I had prepared at all, but I hadn’t! I dressed perfectly, which is probably why I was the impromptu pick. I only had in mind to showcase my attire.
I’m not much of a public speaker. If it comes to fluent and grammatical English, I specialized in that because I grew up in Lagos. I had a panic attack afterward, couldn’t breathe well, and went home to use my medication and take a bath. I left without most people knowing. I feel so embarrassed and ashamed. I’m known to be pretty and quiet, and I feel like I’ll always be reminded of this mistake. There’s an event happening in two days that I’ve been looking forward to, but now I’m too embarrassed to show my face anywhere. Is it that bad? Will people forget and not make fun of me?
