Out of my depthAs a schoolkid, I signed up for a public speaking contest purely as a ruse to meet girls. It haunts me still: in front of 300 people, I started to speak, dried up, stood there for what felt like half an hour staring at the floor and then slowly walked back to my seat. Oh, and the girl I liked laughed.
Have you ever been utterly, completely, devastatingly out of your depth?

About 15 I thinkwas representing my local YFC (for you non country folk that’s young farmers club) at a clay pigeon shooting event. I was the youngest there by 10yrs to make matters worse, I wasn't that good at clay pigeon shooting. My tally for that day was 50 Clays - 0 hits, all I got was a bruised shoulder, never again will I attempt to shoot clays.
