...My Most Embarrassing Moment ITT-Technical Institute My Most Embarrassing Moment What is an embarrassing moment? I would have to say, it is when things go not as planned. My most embarrassing moment happened February 1983. I was a junior at W.P. Davidson High School. I was a member of the N.J.R.O.T.C. unit there. My unit was participating in the Senior Bowl halftime show. We were responsible for bringing out a balloon of Popeye. We were to march out on the field carrying Popeye. Popeye was to be laid down at the fifty yard line. We were to raise him up on cue. We were instructed to then march off the field with him. All of this was to be done in a fully packed stadium. We marched out on the field without incident. The wind was a little strong, but not bad. We laid Popeye down on cue. My best friend decided to curl his line on the ground next to his feet. On cue we began to raise Popeye. My friend’s foot got caught in the rope. My friend rose in the air with Popeye. I tried to unravel him from the rope. I finally got hit loose. Everyone in the stadium started to laugh. The game was televised on national television. We were also seen on local television. My family and friends all watched the game and, of course, the halftime show. I have never experienced anything like that. Now I look back, and I...

I have a time in my life that I have never been so embarrassed in front of so many people. Some things are easier to remember, and some are easier to forget. I can remember this day as if it happened yesterday. It was a Friday night and I went to eat at Bonnie & Clyde’s pizza with my family for my brother’s birthday party. Out of all nights the place was packed and there was not one empty chair in the building. We sit down at the table and we enjoy the birthday. We eat pizza, cake, and everyone was having a good time. I thought I would be nice and start to clean up everyone’s plates and cups to make some room on the table for everyone. They give you the pizza on a round silver tray, so I started to pile up all the plates, cups, and silverware on to the tray. As my mother asked me “do you need any help?” I told her no I got it and started to walk up to the counter to drop off the tray. I knew that with all the stuff piled onto the tray that it was going to be too heavy but I wanted to try and carry it anyway without any help. As I am walking the tray up their stacked full I tripped over a step in the floor and I am sure you can guess what happened next. I dropped the tray everywhere and I feel to the floor.

...The dignified student swaggered onto the glorious podium and stared out into the smiles of the welcoming crowd; it was his moment of triumph and the time had come. However, a repeated and rebellious shout from the spectators broke the thunderous roar of the crowd. “Great job Baby Cakes! I knew you could do it. Mommy is so proud!” As pink seas of embarrassment were summoned onto his cheeks, the student did not know whether he had missed his moment of glory or lost all of his precious dignity. Majority of children have experienced a situation such as this at least once during their childhood or teenage years. Somehow, as it was expressed in “Surefire Ways to Repulse Your Tween”, no matter the generation, parents have always been able to express their “cheesy love” for their children through countless unique and...

I just can describe this summer as my best summer ever, my perfect summer. My most memorable moment in Logan was the ropes course because I was doing really challenging things, things that I never thought I could do. After I achieve my goals at the ropes course and overcame all the challenging things I felt a great satisfaction and self-realization. At the beginning I was shock by American culture but as soon as I started understanding it I enjoy every single moment in Logan. I really loved my first academic track excursions.

...full of life, the next you are struggling to complete daily tasks that once came so naturally. I believe that life should be preserved through memories and, most importantly, pictures. Marc Riboud, a French photographer, once said, “taking pictures is savoring life intensely, every hundredth of a second.” At the time, it may seem like a measly piece of photocopy paper, but years later, when you are looking into the past and wishing for that time back, nothing in the world will mean more than that single photograph. Five years ago, I lost my brother, Joseph, to Ewing Sarcoma. I understood that he was very ill, but never did I imagine his death was right around the corner. Everyday with him, I took for granted. I always thought that we would have tomorrow, but that is not always the case. Less than a year after being diagnosed, my family and I were making the eight-hour drive to Houston, Texas to say our good-byes, knowing that there would be no tomorrow for my brother. Today, I am always looking at the few photographs I have of us together and sincerely regret not having taken more. I have always been camera shy, but that should not stop anybody from capturing every moment of their lives, good or bad. One day you’ll look back and, no matter how bad it may have seemed at the time, you’re going to wish for that very moment back. One of the few photos I have with my brother is one of him and me in our soccer uniforms sitting on the bench at his soccer game. At the time, I begged...

...what I loved to do. I loved to dance. I never gave much thought or worry about reading a book. For me, that was absolutely boring. I didn’t care about improving my poor literacy skills. I believed, that a dancer did not need to have good writing or reading skills. At that moment, I was only concern about how I was going become a better dancer. Time went by, as expected, and my dream of being a dancer changed. When I started high school I discovered my passion for numbers and problem solving. The world of mathematics became my new passion. Again, I continued thinking that I didn’t need to have perfect writing and reading skills, until that day. In 10th grade, I was asked by the professor to read two paragraphs in class. As I started reading, I was so nervous that I misread leaders as cheerleaders. All my classmates started laughing at me, including the professor. I could feel my cheeks turning bright red, and my eyes tearing. I just wanted to run out of that place and never come back. That was one of the most embarrassing moments in my life.

...have debilitating effects on that person. In the most extreme cases, it has led to suicide, stalking, and even murder. While the following methods are not guaranteed to always work, it will help the people who aren’t sure how to break up with someone without completely destroying that person’s heart. In fact there are multiple ways to end a relationship without either person suffering greatly or feeling bad about how it ended. By following a few easy steps you can be well on your way to being single again. First, you’ll want to know everything there is to know about your partner. The more you know about your partner the easier it will be for you to be able to break up with him or her by selecting the “right moment”. Let’s say for example that Bob and Mary are in a relationship and Mary wants to end it. She knows very little about Bob and realizes that she acted upon impulse. So she buys Bob a box of chocolate and tells him that the relationship is over. What she didn’t know is that Bob hates chocolate and ending the relationship suddenly like this usually leads to conflict between the previous boyfriend and girlfriend. Instead of buying him something he likes and trying to break it off in a more thought out process, she now created tension between the both of them. This is where you’ll usually find the pictures of the said person on facebook doing something Rivers-2 embarrassing. Simply put, the more you know, the better off you...

...embarrassed at one time or another. It is that moment in time when you wish the earth would open up and swallow you. The anxiety and discomfort felt during that time which may only last a few seconds feels like time has stood still. I remember so well when I had my most embarrassing moment. I was in Form 4 and it was during the school recess. The minute the bell rang for recess, I rushed to the toilet because I had been controlling my urges since class started. I didn’t want to miss class because the lesson taught that morning was to include tips for the forthcoming examination. Without realising, I had rushed to the girls’ toilet. The prolonged control and an upset stomach made worse by two glasses of cold milk in the morning made me grunt and groan in what I thought in what I thought was the privacy of the cubicle. I thought I heard giggling outside and wondered why the giggles sounded unusually near. A few minutes later I came out the cubicle and discovered my horror that I had entered the girls’ toilet. To make matters worse, the few girls standing outside didn’t even turn away when I came out. Instead they looked down at me, then only they turned quickly away. Horror of horrors, I had forgotten to zip up! No beetroot could have matched the colour of my face at this point in time! They news of my predicament spread like wild fire throughout school. I was truly the talk of the town. I felt like I could either walk around feeling...

...Reality TV shows on children “Boys and girls alone” is a reality show aired in England in 2009. The protagonists, twenty boys and girls aged 8-11, live alone in two villages (one for the boys and one for the girls) without parents, and have to cook, clean, manage money, etc.,by themselves. In the texts I have been given to read, I am presented to three points of view about the show, from: Andrew Mackenzie, Head of Factual Entertainment at Channel 4, and one of the responsible for the making of “Boys and Girls Alone”. Dr. Richard House, Senior Lecturer in Psychotherapy. Audrey Scott, the mother of one of the kids in the show. In the first one, A. Mackenzie defends the show from criticism and explains that the children were “carefully chosen and screened by experts” and that they lived in a “protected environment with around-the-clock security during production”. He also claims that parents were allowed to withdraw their child at any time.All in all, he can only see positivity about the show. In the second one, Dr. R. House criticizes the show, and calls it “prurient Lord of the Flies sensationalism”. He disapproves of the whole concept, and goes as far as saying the show is equal child cruelty. He also urges Channel 4 to reveal the identity of the “experts” who chose and screened the children before going to the show, so they can enter into a public dialog. He is very critical about the culture in general as well, which he means to be superficial celebrity-obsessed...

Mother once shared That I should imagine Everyone in their underwear. That left me more embarrassed. Oh why did I dare? Now I have flushed cheeks. Have violated their privacy I think I was more afraid of them laughing at me. It was at that moment that I discovered my greatest fear. From snickers to chuckles to outburst Sometimes I laughed too Other times It hurt. I’ve experienced it all at my own expense From falling in mud Or down the stairs Thud! Thud! Thud! A real joker to the onlooker It was their comments the most that I wish I could suspend But what could give me more Unintended fame Than the time I rolled Halfway down the bowling alley lane Or when the teacher asked “What was a hoe?” And I said a slut And she said “What!?!

...discuss the developmental stage of the adolescent aged from 12 to 20 years old from the physical development like puberty and sexual maturity, the social development like peer pressure, popularity and rejection in school and the issues surrounding them like juvenile delinquency and gangs, eating disorders like obesity, anorexia nervosa and bulimia. I will also be touching on the causes of these issues. Physical Development during adolescence Between the ages of 12 to 20 is considered the most life changing, awkward and exciting stage of a human being’s life as they will go through the physical changes which might cause them to have some embarrassing moments. Physical and sexual maturation are processes set in motion by the genes and executed by hormones. Most males and females feel most awkward during this stage as it is during this time that physical attraction between the two sexes will develop and they become more conscious of their own appearance. Adolescents experienced the most dramatic physical changes during this stage as their body undergoes a range of transformation from child to adult. What they are experiencing is called puberty, the process of biological change that results in an individual’s attaining sexual maturity and becoming capable of producing a child. (Sigelman and Rider, 2006, p.130) As the level of growth hormones circulating in the body increases, the adolescent growth spurt is triggered. Girl’s peak growth for height is around 12 years while...
