What a Nervous Experience

by Mikayla

Megan and I were on our way to Mrs. Ellis’s class. I was saying to myself breath in… and out. Breathe in… and out. I was so nervous, what if I forgot my lines?! It felt like a herd of elephants were shoving me towards the door. Then, it was silent. All eyes were on Megan and I, as Mrs. Ellis told the class to quiet down, and put down what they were doing. Once Megan started her speech I finally calmed down. After we both said one paragraph, one kid told us something hilarious. He said the questions we were asking were 24 year old questions. I was so close to bursting into laughter. When Megan was done talking about her 2nd part, the same kid who made the first comments said, “Well, since Americans take bees honey the bee species will die out all because of humans invading them by taking their honey!” Wow! I thought. That was hilarious. Everything else after that went excellent. So we handed out the papers, thanked the class, and were on our way back to our classroom.
