I am a perfectionist and have always had an utter disdain for failure. This has kept me from trying a lot of things in my life. Having finally accepted that failure is a requirement for a fulfilling and diversified life experience, I have created this year long project in an attempt to become comfortable with the idea of failing. This blog chronicles my journey with failure.

Day 6: Toastmasters
Today's project involved giving my 8th speech (Using Visual Aids was the guideline) to my Toastmasters group. I gave a presentation using the powerpoint presentation I created for one of my psychology classes last semester. I talked about how self-accepting statements may be useful for people diagnosed with depression.
Result: I talked too fast, and I didn't win Best Speaker. I was mad I didn't win, but at least I went through with it and didn't cancel doing my speech!
