Reflecting on a Memorable Assignment

I would say that I definitely remember Poetry out loud the most.  I still remember all of the time I spent reading that poem, and I can still recite it to this day.  Although it was kind of stressful, it turned out well in the end.  I didn't forget any of my lines, and I placed in the top ten in the class.  It was different than any other school assignment I have done.  I also hadn't done anything with poetry in a long time, so it was cool reading and listening to so many poems!  I liked how we made it so legit too, with the little reading area in the library and the judges and everything.

I am definitely proud of how I did in Poetry Out Loud, and I think that the experience made me stronger! Reading a poem that you memorized in front of your class and judges can be a little intimidating, and I was pretty convinced that I was going to forget my whole poem when I went up.  However, it turned out fine and I was happy with how I did, and just happy to be able to stop repeating that poem in my head every minute making sure I didn't forget it!
