When I was writing this memoir, I was quite afraid to approach one of my memories because it was very personal. The fact that I lived alone for a month without my family was a huge decision for me and a turning point in my life because I was brought up in a very conservative family and had no ideas about the world outside my house. I really enjoyed writing this memoir because I got to reflect on the actions I took as an individual for the first time and I got to take a time to remember my friend who I am very grateful for.

During the presentation, I wasn’t nervous before but when I got up I was quite anxious on how to tell the story well so that people can understand it better. I wanted to say more about my experience but time ran out because I kept on trying to explain it better. I think I mumbled too much on the same point over and over. It made me feel better and closer to the class because each one of us got to know others better. I liked sharing my story despite the fact that its’ not an easy memory to share because it made me feel good to mention my friend who had helped me a lot. It was like a moment dedicated for him.

In future this experience will help me to look at the world more differently and keep me always on track of what’s happening around me. This presentation will also help me to boost my confidence in presenting infant of others. It was a good practise for speaking outlaid in front of a group of people.
