Tell your story#10(Most Embarrassing Moment )

My recent embarrassing moment was when we had a choir day's celebration.
In my church we do celebrate the choir yearly, we set a specific date(Sunday) for that very celebration like the other wings of the church.

So I voluntarily wanted to present a spoken word on that day because I do admire those that do it, everything that comes with it the well spoken English and the accent. So I had always wanted to do it and present it in public.
So I saw that as an opportunity to grab.
I registered my name for the spoken word word presentation.
My school was in session and we were writing exams at that, so had to combine the two. I searched for the right words to use and which topic I should talk about, I went into research, I even messaged someone that is so good at it but the way and manner she was responding to had to leave her.
I browsed on YouTube and it showed me different spoken words but wasn't satisfied with what I was seeing.
One day, I was scrolling down my Facebook news feed when a video popped up and low and behold it was a spoken word, when I listened to it, I was satisfied and I said to myself at last I have finally found what to use.
I wrote it down in a book and started practicing it.
To be very honest it's not everyday I do practice it in short I practiced that twice and I kept on procrastinating the practice not until Saturday night to the D-Day.
I wouldn't say I digested those words and have it at my finger tips but it was just quoting I did.
So the D-Day came and I was being called out to present.
With confident I went out to spill it but when I started the presentation to an extent everything flew from my head
I stood there dumbfounded, all eyes fixed on me, I wish the ground would open and swallow me.
I had to begin over again and same thing happened.
But I didn't give up, I said to myself that I must recite it till the end in which I did but it was full of blunders.
I felt so embarrassed because not just were there many in church but I am a pastor's daughter In which my dad is a grammarian, I was so embarrassed but I didn't allow it to get to me.
Immediately I came back from church, I removed my clothes, didn't even eat, I climbed my bed and laid down everything flashed back , I couldn't leave my room because of that very incident.
The next day, my dad called me and said that it isn't good to quote , that I quoted the spoken word that was why I messed up in front of the whole church.
That I should learn to read, and digest things well and let it live with me that quoting isn't good.

I learnt my lesson and I promised myself that procrastination and quoting will never be part of me again that I will try my best to always do what I have to do on time.
I had to say to myself that what happened does not define me,I am confident, I am enough and I can be beneficial.
I moved on and let it be a past I have learnt from.
