Health: Plagiarism sucks

Plagiarism sucks

Today, I was supposed to present a speech on diabetes. The girl who went first chose the same subject, knowing I'm diabetic and that it was my topic. I went last, so I had to change half of my speech on the spot. I sounded ignorant about my own illness. FML

Today, I had to give a speech but I wasn't prepared. I decided to give it anyway. While giving the speech, I got so nervous I passed out. FML

Today, I had to give presentation at work, for which I'd extensively prepared. However, as soon as I started speaking, I had a sudden panic attack and forgot everything I'd rehearsed. I stumbled through the presentation, feeling the embarrassment steadily grow in front of my colleagues. I almost passed out. FML

Is this a stand up show?

Today, I had a big presentation at work and I was feeling really confident. I'd practiced it over and over and I knew it inside out. But when I got up to speak, I realized I had left my notes at home. I ended up winging it and it was a disaster. FML

Today, I gave a presentation. My teacher deducted points because I "need to learn how to speak more confidently, because you often stumble over your words." I have a stutter. FML

Today, I gave a presentation in class. I felt pretty good about it, until afterwards when I was told I lost points for communication because I'd been chewing gum. I wasn't, I just have a speech impediment. FML

Today, I had to give a speech on stage at a local preschool about fire safety. I'm 32 years old and passed out on stage because I felt extremely nervous and intimitated by a group of 4 year olds. FML

The knack

Today, I had to give a 15-minute presentation for a conference. I hadn't had the time to write out a proper speech so I decided to just wing it. My sponsor liked my presentation so much he wants me to turn it into an article. Now if only I could remember what I said. FML

Today, as part of my medical anatomy course, I had to give a presentation about an STD and the effects it has on women. The class was comprised almost entirely of girls. I become extremely anxious and accidentally stated, "Vaginas are smelly" as my opening statement. FML

Today, while giving speech in class, I choked on my own spit and had a coughing fit while everyone stared at me intently. When I finally regained my composure, my teacher told me my time was up and to sit down. I hadn't even got finished the first paragraph. FML

Today, I failed on a school presentation because I was not prepared. Apparently, the fact that my computer crapped itself and started giving off smoke last period isn't a good reason for not having my presentation prepared. FML

I could be wrong but did you really need to change your speech?

YDI for altering your speech. Imagine if a doctor changed the results of a study he did on, say, diabetes because someone else did it first.

That makes absolutely no sense. Why would you change your speech? Next time, go with what you have.

#34, I guess you're the OP... So could you elaborate, instead of posting the same thing multiple times? We really don't understand what you were thinking...

I've had the same thing happen to me before, but there is no reason to change your speech. So yeah, unlucky situation but based on the way you solved it, YDI.

Look, I know you might not know this, but that was very ignorant thing you just said. The person probably has type 1, not type 2. Type 1 you get from your pancreas failing, not insulin resistance. I'm a type one Diabetic. I don't really see why you had to change your speech, but I wasn't there and figure you had too. I don't know if you do this or not, but for me, any chance I get to educate people about diabetes I do, so that' s awesome (and kind of obvious, I guess) that you chose diabetes.

Im a type 1 diabetic. My pancreas failed, which is why I'm diabetic. I got really sick with pneumonia, which set off the disease. It has nothing to do with eating too much sugar, asshole.
