Paralyzed

           I was stuck there with no where to run, let alone run myself. I was stuck there motionless, paralyzed. It was November 17, 2010. My principle came in my communication arts class with a CAMCORDER! I know you are probably thinking "wow a camcorder, whats so terrifying about a camcorder?' Well nothing is actually, unless your in front of it! I was just stuck there in front of it trying not to laugh, move, or even breath. I was frozen there, not so much scared or freaked out but just nervous. Nervous I would crack up, stutter, or say the wrong thing. Everything was going through my head, except positive thoughts! I could sit here and tell you it is really nothing and you don't have to worry about speaking to an audience, but then I would be a hypocrite. I was thinking about every possible mistake I could make to embarrass me and my whole class. Before any sort of interview I just try to tell myself to stay loose and calm down, and then all that advice slips my brain. Then I'm stuck sitting there frozen like a statue motionless in a museum. I just sit there waiting for a question to answer hoping to answer correctly. For me it is a lot of stress because I have to remember to say the right things, smile, and most important to BREATH! I wish I could never be in this situation ever again, but in reality I know that I will.
