Giving a Wonderful Presentation
It was time to take a course named, “Presentation Techniques” and I wondered why such a course was included in our academic curricula. It was a simple three-day course but little did I know great fun, amazement and benefits for taking this course were awaiting for me.
When my turn came for presentation in front of the class, I gave a short one in 3-5 minutes as the requirements were. I presented on “My Family”. I talked of how we changed places, which places we lived and had schoolings, how my sisters departed for abroad and the tragic death of my Dad and why it was important for me to join my remaining family back in my home country. Little did I know I made a great impression on everyone.
The next day I was called into the Professor’s office and she awarded me 700 Euros for up and down flight trip to my home country to meet my family in the summer vacation.
What a noble Professor she was – just like an Angel. In fact her first name was Angelika. This act of kindness and benevolence on her part will always be a part of me and the moments of that presentation would be difficult to erase from my memory – rather I will keep on reminiscing about it and feel good about myself every time.
