It was my first day at school. The night before that day I had been nervous and couldn't sleep till late at night. So the day came. I was smartly dressed with a bunch of beautiful flowers. I saw my teacher, she noticed that I was stressed and said me some kind words to calm me. So the event started. I had been given a short poem about first day at school which I had to read. I was trembling when the principal said my name and that I would read the poem to all of the pupils. I had learnt this poem and was sure to remember it well. But unfortunately, in the middle of my speech I suddenly forgot the words! I was so confused and embarassed, standing there with an open mouth and saying nothing. Fortunately, I had a paper where I had written this poem. So I took it out of my pocket and show went on. Surprisingly, no one laughed at my confusion, moreover, the audience was clapping to support me, they seemed pleased with my performance.
