"Another Day of Learning"

 
For all Academy students in NMHS,
February 8th was the day to present.
We had to give a lesson we took,
in the audiorium, for a one-day event.

Public speaking was not my "cup of tea."
But eventually I must conquer my fear, gaurunteed.
I took this opportunity to accomplish two tasks:
to learn about my topic, and to surmount my fear with wings.

With an "opencourseware" at MIT,
I chose the topic of muscle growth.
My partner wanted to put in prezi form,
but this type of presentation I loathed.

As the day arrived, I felt very confident.
I put immense work into my project.
While presenting I felt no pressure.
My hard work on my prezi, had a powerful effect.

I had learned that moment that determination is the key.
If you push yourself to new limits, I'm sure you would agree.

  3. Good job with this poem. It's relateable and understandable. Public speaking can be hard and intimidating at times.

  5. I agreed completely with your poem. Public speaking wasn't really a problem for me but when I speak in front of others I start to stutter and laugh which isn't good.
