-
Today in AP Lit, my classmates and I finished reciting our poems by the great Maya Angelou. Today i recited my poem “On Aging” and I wasn’t nervous at all. I only stumbled over one word. Being the center of attention kind of makes me nervous, but when I recited my poem today, I felt like I was meant to speak publicly. It was as if I wrote the poem myself. It was a nice feeling and I look forward to doing it again.
