Try and Try Again Essays - Presentation Experience, Poor Grades

The motto, if at first you dont succeed, try, try again, is a saying that I agree with. In my life, I have made an effort to persevere using several different approaches to a problem or goal in order to be successful. One example that I comes to mind is my university presentation. Even as a freshmen, I preferred to get advice from the professor about how to make presentation. Truthfully, I was completely confused in the first conversation. Nevertheless, I have learned how to research, about body language and have launched several campaigns to make a good presentation. My first real presentation experience was at the university. For six weeks, I researched more than 200 pages a day, taking note of important information carefully. I learned to organize material into sections like. At the end of six weeks, I made a presentation in the class. But I did not remember anything and I felt very sick. So I began to read my notes. My teacher put an end to my speech because I spoke too long and everybody lost their attention. As a result, I got poor grades at the midterm and I had to work hard for the final exam. Although I had failed in my first experience, I still had a chance to pass the course. This time I followed a rigorous working plan. I concentrated on body language as well as structure. I took a mirror to my room so that It it would be easier to make practice. I joined a social club and observed people as they were giving presentations. Although I made a good presentation as I want, and I began to receive complements from friends on my presentation. Nevertheless, I found myself going to a disco with friends from my club, missing lesson because I was too busy. Preparing for the final was not possible because I was arriving late. I failed the final again. If I wanted to , I could have skipped the course, but I tried again. I met one person who is was successful at giving the presentation. She gave me private lessons. I learned a new method for a successful presentation, such as speaking clearly. My presentation became more understandable and was timer shorter. Moreover, by studying the lesson by myself and actively listening to other students, I have slowly reached my goal. When I was making the presentation, I felt confidence and overcame the challenge. So, as you see, I tried and tried again, but at last I succeeded in finding a way that worked for me. And I learned researching, body language and speaking clearly. What is important is not to give up and to learn from each failure.
