I had to give a speech once about sustainable homes/communities in college and I rambled about chickens for a while. Once back in high school for an entrepreneurship class we had to present business plans. The girl who went before me had a ton of props and shit so I got extra nervous for being so unprepared. Well I was doing a bagel shop and my friend pointed out that I did in fact have a half eaten bagel. So that was my prop and even the teacher couldn't help but laugh most of my presentation. I'm sure if I think on this more I can come up more examples of terrible presentations I've done.

Moral of the story, I fucking hate public speaking. Oh god I just remember the party I had to host once, never again will I attempt to address a room of talking people.
