Goodbye EZ Menu

Leading up to our final pitch and the end of the year my group members and myself were all faced with an overwhelming amount of work. From essays and exams to group assignments and presentations, we were all presented with our last chance to end successfully in our courses. While tackling all of these obstacles at the same time as finding time to practice our speech was difficult. Although we had practiced this pitch once before in front of our classmates, it was difficult to attack the presentation again with our ideas in mind and still trying to incorporate those ideas of our classmates.

The day of the actual presentation, in my opinion was awful! I had more butterflies in my stomach than ever before and thought I was going to be sick multiple times before presenting. I had already made one presentation that day that went amazing, but for some reason when it came to the pitch I could not get over my nerves. Even while presenting I completely blacked out and was shaking! This is very rare that this happens to me… but something about pitching with no presentation made me nervous. Luckily my group member had his part perfectly memorized and was more than confident for the both of us. As a result, I believe that our pitch did go quite well given my nerves, however, it definitely could have gone much better with more confidence from my end.
