The Most Embarrassing Moments of My Life

I was sitting at home composing some music on my laptop, I have a solo electronic music project that can be compared to as a “one man band” where I record different instruments and synths into one cohesive tune. Anyway, i was sitting at my desk and I call from one of my friends Taylor, he asks if i want to come over and “Jam” which is what we call playing improvised music together for fun. I agree as I always do, pack up my drumset and head over to his house. When I arrive I walk into his house and hear the sound of taylor practicing jazz scales on his guitar, accompanied by some melodic piano following along. I walk in and set up, on of my best friends, Jarod, is there fidgeting with his electric piano, which explains the duet i heard walking in. This is not uncommon because we have played music together for a couple years now. As I am setting up for the usual jam, Taylor explains that he's got something to tell us and asked if we were up for it. Jarod and I looked at each other, puzzled and agreed to hear him out. Taylor explained that he had booked a show at a local venue and that he wanted us to play with him. We of course agreed, but I had so many questions. Right then our casual jam sessions did a complete 360 degree turn, from hanging out and playing music to rehearsing for a performance, in front of an audience, at a

The year was 2015 and in my mind it was going to be one of the most pivotal moments in my life. I was turning 16, getting my driver’s license, inching closer toward adulthood, gaining my independence, and free from adult responsibilities and worries. What I did not know was that one catastrophic event would have such a devastating impact on my life.

The article ‘Embarrassment and Social Organisation’ was written for the American Journal of sociology in 1956, since then Goffman 's work on embarrassment has been the backbone of understanding the sociology of embarrassment, as well as understanding the structures that reinforce the embarrassment. Goffman suggests that embarrassment is a recognisable deviation from the ease that is considered natural during social interaction. Embarrassment can be recognised through signs of emotional disturbance, blushing fumbling stuttering or change in voice, blinking or other actions that can be considered improper given the social interaction. Goffman describes two types of embarrassment, sustained

Embarrassment can be one of the hardest pills to swallow; I know this because of firsthand experience. As humans we go through humiliation all the way through life. I do not know a single person who went through life without a moment of discomfiture, if someone has then they must not live a very audacious life. My personal experience was not only utterly embarrassing but also broadcasted on national television. I was competing in the National Little Britches Rodeo Association Finals at the Colorado State Fairgrounds in Pueblo, Colorado. I have never been one to mull over a certain moment but incidents like this tend to stick with you. What I learned from this experience, I will never forget.

Later that day I went home, I was so mad at myself that I told my parents and sisters that I won't do it ever again and that it was just a waist of my time, but to my surprise the next day I found myself at the bowling alley still struggling. During the practice the JV 1 coach came up to me and told me the most important thing in bowling “don't look at the pins, look at the second arrow”. It seems like nothing helpful but in reality it is. It's a small thing but it makes the game perfect. Thinking back I was close to quitting bowling but with one help from the coach my life changed completely. After two weeks of practice came the first match I was really nervous because I thought that other girls will make fun of me because I didn't get past 100, but in reality none of us did because we were starters first year bowlers we had a lot of things to learn to become better. In the middle of the season was another time where I was considering quitting, being a freshman I was asked to play with the JV team which mean the there are girls who are more experienced and have bowl for a year or even more. I was so nervous about again the judging me that I did really bad that math but the coach didn't give up on me yet, he wanted me to play for the rest of the season with his section, and that was the place where I learned the

I agree with Fran Liebowitz. Embarrassment is a powerful human emotion. Without embarrassment, people would live their life, going around doing stupid stuff and not really having any thought on how the stuff their doing is out of line. Bryan Stevenson brings up this point when he mentions “…no accountability” on page 114. Embarrassment, along with good conscious and good morals, is how people hold themselves accountable for their actions. Without embarrassment, there really is not any accountability.

Imagine a really embarrassing moment or a time that resulted in a lot of trouble. Does it bring on chills or a shudder? Most people understand everyone makes mistakes in their life, though, like saying or doing that one thing they know they should not which got them into a lot of trouble. Fortunately, it is typical that people have a parent or parent figure in their life to tell them what they are doing is wrong and why so next time they learn and make the right decision or do not do it again.

With that being said I had my first embarrassing moment. I am just happy I was by myself  if anyone was around I think I would have died ☠️

How could that be? Well, let unreveal.. Throughout all the nights of repetition, constant shots made practicing as if each shot depends on your life and the utmost concentration things tend to add up. All the hours clocked in at the local bowling alley, setting house records, and trying to go somewhere in life with your talent.. All of the money invested (not bought, bowling is an investment.) Every finger grip, thumb slug and bottle of cleaner used to try and get the slightest advantage could come down to one shot. The make or break...What makes us bowlers who we are. Sweat beating down the face, hands clammy inside the bowling ball, and arms feeling like jello as your backswing winds

Growing up in a family of eight wasn't always fun and games. I've seen and experienced things people in their adult life couldn't even imagine. The most traumatic event kick-started when I was ten; I observed as anorexia, bulimia, and depression brought my sister Madison close to death. Madison and I shared a room so I had a front row seat to the nights where she would cry herself to sleep and wake in the middle of the night to make herself throw up in the bathroom and leave the house to go run off extra calories. I remember wondering if I should tell my parents about the things I read in her diary. Page after page were graphic entries about how much she hated her body and how badly she desired to be skinny. There was a point in her diary when things transitioned

Hello my name is John. I was just everyday salaryman. It was my 24th birthday night when i were walking in the park. Where i had my first date with my first and last girlfriend. There were two people doing inappropriate thing in the park. Was what i thought and this place have some important memory of my life so i decided to remind them.

One day, while I was going by bus to a doctor’s appointment, suddenly I had the urge to pee. Did not know what to do. I tried to control, but it was almost impossible. I got down on the next stop, and at once I peed through the pant and to my embarrassment I traveled back to my apartment with the wet pant, changed it, and went back for the appointment. It was disgusting, and it never happened before. I thought it was a onetime issue.

It was in December, during my Christmas vacation, when I decided to start looking for a summer job. There were many options but the job I decided to apply for was a position as a lifeguard at a waterpark. I filled out an application and was accepted almost immediately. The only thing left was the lifeguard training; little did I know that it was going to be an experience I would never forget.

I was supposed to go camping that evening, but little did I know that I was going to be spending the next three days in a hospital fearing for my brother’s life. This is my story about the scariest moment in my life, when my brother was on the edge of dying.

Have you ever encountered a tragic moment and saved someone’s life? All of a sudden I was the only one that could help because everyone else was in shock. The bravest moment of my life that surprised me was giving CPR to a man in a restaurant.
