April 25, 2022

My first ever demonstration took place on Friday, April 22, 2022. So you can imagine how I spent the entire week preparing to pass my demonstration. I prepared my lesson plan, created my PowerPoint presentation, and even practiced mastering my subject so that I wouldn't have to glance at my computer screen while teaching my students. I was putting a lot of pressure on myself and telling myself that I needed to do better, especially because I had heard that some of my classmates had failed, and those people didn't even have the same level of anxiety as me, and with my anxiety and stage fright, I was worried that I would fail as well.

But I wasn't going to let that happen, and I wasn't going to allow my anxiousness get the best of me. I had supportive friends which is also my classmates who knew about my anxiety and stage fright and told me that I could do it, and I have someone I can call "ate" or big sister if you translate it in English, who is also a classmate. She told me she genuinely wanted to help, so she did everything she could to assist me in overcoming my anxiety and stage fright. So I pitched in and suggested that we spend the night at our friend's house who is on the same demonstration schedule as me. We're quite close ever since our first day in college, which is why we agreed to spend the night together.

We never wasted time at my friend's place; instead, we were focused on our demonstration following morning. Yes, we spoke a lot, and being there was never boring. We had a good time, but we are taking our demonstration very seriously. We went to bed after rehearsing, and it's now late. Ate informed me that I should go to bed since she was still revising some problems on our PowerPoint; I urged her to stop and go to bed now, but she insisted, and I was getting a headache, nervous, and couldn't sleep, but I eventually fell asleep, I believe it was around 2 p.m.

3 hours later, 5 o'clock in the morning our alarm clocks start making noises but I felt really sleepy so I ignored then 30 minutes later we all got up to prepare our breakfast. Then one by one we took a shower then we go to school.

My hands were shaking and trembling, but my demonstration went off without a hitch or very successful. However, I can only share one photo from my demo.

I'll also share my Teaching Demonstration Grade with you. I hope you're proud of me for getting over my stage fright.

I received a 4.9 out of 5 rating and was extremely delighted. I know it's not a perfect score, but I was rather pleased with myself for achieving that accomplishment. I'm not sure why I chose education; I've never wanted to be a teacher due of my stage fright, yet here I am, feeling so accomplished.

Closing Thoughts

Having loyal friends that don't gossip behind your back and always have your back is a blessing. I was thankful beyond words, and I would never take them for granted ever. They convinced me that, despite my stage fright and anxieties, I could succeed. That is exactly what I did. Always pick great and trustworthy people to be your friends.
