SEC-S11W1-The most embarrassing moment of my life as a kid or parent

Hello friends in Steem Kids and Parents I am pleased to participate in this Steem engagement challenge and congratulations to our dear community for reaching this height.

Embarrassing moments always happened in our lives. It is an awkward moment that can affect ones self esteem. It is a also a time where you will have a very bad feeling. One will always feel like the ground should swallow one up. I have had my own share of such moments. I will only share two of such moments in this contest.

The first moment I have had an embarrassing time was when I was a child and I just started nursery school then. I joined the school in the middle of the term. All I can remember back then was that I was always very smart in answering questions during the classes, what I did not know was my performance in the end of the term examination. When it was time for results presentation like it was usually done then. They will call out first to third position and clapp hands for them. I expected that my name will come out for the first position but to my surprise I didn't even showed up for the third position as the names were called. This was so embarrassing to me as a child. I cried vehemently without accepting any consolations.

Another scenario of my being embarrassed was in church when I was singing in the choir. I just joined the church choir newly and I didn't have all of their uniforms. On this fateful day the choir members were to put on an orange beret and I didn't have that colour of beret then but didn't want to miss singing in the choir. I went to the choirmaster and took permission to use my black beret of which permission was granted.

On that Sunday I have ironed my choir uniforms (black and white) put it on with my black bere and I went quite early as I always did. To my surprise one of the Youth Fellowship executives blocked me and returned me to go out of the choir sit as I was not using the same colour of beret as others, despite all effort to explain to her she gave me a Dave ear. Oh! My God I felt like the ground should just open up and swallow me up as this was done right inside the church where there were oth members in the church. I felt so very bad and moved out shamefully. I survived courage to go home and change up and return back to church. To be very sincere I was badly hurt.

For the first embarrassment I would not say that I deserved such an embarrassment because I did answer questions well. I do not think any one else do deserve being embarrassed too.

For the second embarrassment I don't think I deserved such an embarrassment at all because I took due permission and she should have given me a listening ear. Or better still she should have confirmed from the choirmaster to know why I wore the uniform. I do not also think that anyone who had taken due permission should have deserved such embarrassment.

For the first instance of my embarrassment, I became more studious and in the following term I took the first position I so desired. Since then it became a very competitive time back then in school.

For the second scenario, I called the lady and talk to her privately expressing how bad I felt and she did apologize. I also ensure not to join the choir whenever I do not have the required uniform.

In conclusion, embarrassing moments is always unavoidable as it mostly happens when we list expected. The ability to manage the moment is very important as we should not allow such moments to define us.

I invite my friends @bela90, @manuelhooks and @ugochwu-martha to share their experience in this challenge.
