Presentation

I think our presentation went pretty well. Of course, it could be better, but overall, not bad.

If I was to do this again, I would try to maintain eye contact, "present" smoother, and make it more appealing to the audience.

I really can't choose which group did the best. They all had their ups and downs, but some groups stood out and made me feel...not so negelcted, and as if they were talking to me. These groups kind of caught my attention, and made the presentation more interesting.

What is a winner?

I think a winner is someone who works hard to get something they want, and get it. To be a winner, you don't necessarily have to win something huge and become famous. Achieving small things that could help in the long run, but trying hard to achieve it can be just as important as achieving something big.

Integrity is also really important. Though some people may have a natural advantage, if you work hard yourself, beating them actually makes you feel prouder than ever. Such as swimming. The taller and bigger you are, the more distance you can go in one stroke. I was in competition before, and I was only 5'2 and 86 lb. The people against me were mostly taller, and bigger, but I managed to take home a 6th place.

In another case, my friend, who is 165 and around 100 lb, competed against shorter and lighter people. She did not win. It shows that natural abilities may matter at first, but in the long run, the harder you work, the more you win.
