Public tears during speech!
Long story short, where I live you have to give this important speech at the beginning of your senior year.
I "gave" mine 2 days ago. I put the gave in quotations marks since I didnt follow it through. I started it, but messed up somewhere in the middle, started crying, and left the classroom, and then skipped the rest of the classes that day.
My teacher told me I'll get a new chance to do it this week. I will die. Same speech, same audience. They've all probably been talking about me and how humiliating that was.
The moral of the speech was that the more you believe in your dreams the more like reality they become.
I was wondering if there's any way to turn this into something positive (or atleast LESS embarrassing) by including that little awful preformance in my speech somehow?
OR is there something funny I could say at the introduction of the speech (to make the fact that I'll be repeating that same beginning of the speech less horrible) ??
Thank you. Please pray for me, I'm really scared to go back to school because of this!!

Hey =]
I had something similar happen to me one time except i didnt cry, well i cried, but it wasnt during the speech it was after i was done with the speech but anyways so we had to do a 5 minute speech, and like we were in groups of 3 and i got in the WORST group possible we were so unorginzed so on the day of the presenation we didnt know who was saying what part, and everything so i get up there tottall clueless, and i start to panic because i dont know what to say and then i take like 1 minute pauses because i HAVE NO CLUE what im doing or saying and then i start to get my words all mixed up and then it just went down hill from there.
but my advice for you is try not to get nervous, because my lemme tell you my nerves got the best of me! i was soo nervous, and like who cares what the people think of you, just try and be confident, and just think by the end of the day they probably have forgotton ALL about your speech and have worried about their own problems.
and maybe something you could say like in the introducting or something idk
like HEYYY I'm Back! Or something to let them know your back and just BE CONFIDENT don't let them know your not confident
and like if you mess up just smile or laugh about it, don't let it defeat you, haha okay well i hope i heleped a little =]
because trust me i know EXACTLY what it feels like and everyone was laughing at me, and mann it just wasnt good, haha
but goodluck on your speech =]

i think you'll be fine either way but ; maybe you should add something at the beginning of your speech like "we all make mistakes & we all have bad days but if you put your mind to it you'll be able to acheive all your goals and dreams ; its ok if you mess up as long as you get back up and try again because if you dont you'll just end up disappointing yourself " or something along the lines of that. good luck and keep thinking positvie becuase im sure you'll do great!!

You need to learn to laugh at yourself so at the beginning of the speech you could put "...So here we are, as you may recall you last seen me with tears rolling down my face, but today i plan to get my message across..." then continue on with what you say...just know that you have your humiliating moments and it comes and passes so dont be afraid to go back to school...the quickest way to get through embarrasment is to laugh at yourself...and if you mess up, dont worry about it--its no big deal, just start where you left off!! good luck!! =]
