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?

« Go Back
Back in primary school...I decided to skip a health assembly by hiding in the toilets. I lost track of the time though and didn't come back to class until after lunch.
I then had to explain to my (extremely strict and uptight) teacher where I had been for the last four hours.
I said I was waiting for my mum. In the toilets.
Oh god.
