Present to All

It was probably the biggest presentation of my life and I was nervous for the first time in my life. I stood outside the big mahogany doors and waited for them to call me. I wore a trail pacing back and forth on the impeccable grey carpeting. I clutched my briefcase tightly as I waited, waited, waited…..finally I could hear the door open from the other side. I took a deep breath, brushed the hair out of my eyes, and cleared my throat. It was time and I was so thrilled and I wanted to hop in the door, but I composed myself as I reached out my hand for the shake of my life.
