['I was forced into covering for my coworker who was supposed to give a large speech to a packed auditorium. I had no time to prepare for it and really no idea what I was doing. I still had to somehow make my way throught the speech!', 'Wow that sounds pretty stressful. How do you think you did?', "I feel all right about it. I tried my best and did somehow make my way through the speech. But I know it really wasn't very polished at all."]
As long as you did your best, I say have no regrets. You made the most of a bad situation.
I was forced to give a speech in front of a large and completly full auditorium. I had barley any time to prepare and really had no idea what I was supposed to say.
