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?

rollercoastersI am terrified of heights. I can't stand up on a chair without panicking.
One year my mom decided to take me to an amusement park for my birthday. I decided that I would get myself on a rollercoaster despite my acrophobia. I don't know what I was thinking.
Of course, the first coaster my mom drags me onto is a huge one with the suspended seats. It was terrifying. I think I might have cried.
Needless to say, I just stick to the dizzy, grounded rides when I go to the parks.
