My worst presentation was probably a couple of years ago before I got over my fear of public speaking. It was in History class and it was a political speech about a topic of our choosing. I chose healthcare i think and wrote a good speech and everything. Once it was my turn to present (in front of the entire class), I had a panic attack, ran into the bathroom and cried until the nurse came and took me to the nurses room. I spent so long just crying, because after the panic passed, i realised I was going to fail if i didn't do the presentation and I really didn't want to fail. Over the next week I spent time with my history teacher who slowly helped me practice, starting with presenting in front of a mirror in an empty bathroom, then in front of an empty classroom, then in front of him and the finally in front of the entire class. It went fine and I got an A! I just wished I'd have practiced earlier to avoid all this embarrassment.
