Don't Forget

Why do the worst things physically possible, happen to me! I rehearsed a million

times! I can’t share my speech with the whole school if I forgot what to say! My heart

was beating a mile a minute, thud, thud, thud,. Looking at the clock, I began to panic, six

minutes till “Showtime.” My mind was a blind horse race. “Let’s see, I know the speech

was about school, but how did it start?” I thought. “maybe I should just make something

up! No, that won’t work. I need to remember.” Thinking intently I finally accepted that I

was as clueless and confused as a patient with amnesia. Then I heard the principal call me

onto stage followed by a rowdy round of applause from my restless classmates. “Well,

here goes nothing. “ I thought as my feet carried me onto the stage where the microphone

stood laughing at me.
