My Culminating Exhibition

At my high school we are required to complete and pass a Culminating Exhibition (CE) to graduate. I have been preparing for this for a long time. It has to be 15 minutes long and we have to talk about three different questions "Who am I", "Where am I going", and "How am I going to get there?" I created a powerpoint about these three questions. It was 26 slides long. Anyways, I presented mine today. I was really nervous and stressed out this morning. You can ask my mom. I was bitter and annoyed at EVERYTHING.

When I got there I put on my powerpoint and I started the presentation. Then when I got to the second slide a movie of me playing the piano was supposed to play. However, it didn't play and I didn't know why. One of the teachers said it's because I forgot to save it on my flash drive. I KNEW I FORGOT SOMETHING! Anyways, after this little glitch I started to really worry. What if the rest of presentation was as bad as this. However, I basically overlooked this little problem and continued on with my presentation and the rest of it went surprisingly smooth.

At the end the panel of teachers had the opportunity to comment and ask questions. One of the teachers said that they appreciated how organized my binder was (I organized it into like 8 sections). One of the teachers also said how they liked that I just continued with my presentation. They said that it was good how I just overlooked my technical difficulty at the beginning and moved right on through. They said that was something a teacher has to do often. That made me feel good that although I had an issue at the beginning they found a compliment for it.

I really thought I wasn't go to do very well and I was afraid that I wasn't going to pass. BUT I PASSED!! Now I am done with all of my high school requirement! YAY!!!
