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?

English GCSEDuring the final year of English, we had to do 3 presentations in front of the class, for which we would be marked on. These would be added up, then used to influence our GCSE result. I felt so ridiculously out of depth by the prospect, I faked illness on all 3 occasions, getting a day off each time.
So I wait and I wait, until results day comes around, and I got a 'C' for the presentations! More proof teachers just make it up.
