I attended Rubeth International Christian Academy,Abia State, Nigeria for my Secondary school education. Embarrassing moments are times that we can't predict what will happen but when they do, we feel 😞 bad. But I believe they are stages of growth. People may laugh but we learn from the mistake.
When I was in Junior Secondary school 2, I had this embarrassing experience that I don't think I can ever forget. Then, I was interested in football (not anymore). I made my classmates believe that I can play football; although I knew I'm not really good at it. So one day, our class was set to play with another class. After bragging about my skill, I couldn't gather the courage to play with others. When I came into the class I wanted to prove my capability even though I didn't join the match and I landed on the floor 😥😂😂. Everyone laughed and I felt so embarrassed. I recounted the memory for months, infact even until now. It was a funny and embarrassing 😔 experience. I learnt to know my strength and not trying to prove what I'm not to people.
Another experience was in my Senior secondary school 3. I was in class interacting with my fellow students and I was on my period that day; I think it was actually the third day of my flow so it's meant to be light, not heavy flow. So I bought cold water and took it. That caused it to flow more than it should have and it also caused me abdominal pains. My skirt got stained as a result of that. The embarrassing 😔 part of it was that a male student 😥 pointed out the stain. It's actually not bad that he showed me that but I felt embarrassed because I walked around the class but no female noticed the stain but a male.
Here's a photo from 2019, during my secondary school days
Well like I said earlier, embarrassing moments are stages of growth. I believe I've passed those levels and can't repeat those mistakes. 🫢🫢😔😔😂😂. I know better now.
