Embarrassment
The Run
I had always been the weirdo with no friends that sat alone, and this day explains why. It was Senior-Award Day. A day I was proud of because I knew I wouldn't be winning any awards, or so I thought. I had always been timid with severe anxiety, so walking across the stage in front of the entire senior class, and an audience would be a disaster. I did not want to win an award and to make sure that didn't happen, I had a master plan. A week before the ceremony, I had made sure to get confirmation from all of my teachers, I wouldn't be getting an award. Although it was one instructor, R.O.T.C, who insisted that all senior cadets should receive one. I assured him that I did nothing all year to deserve anything. Jokingly, he seemed to reconsider, and out of desperation, I chose to believe him. There was no way he would be calling my name. I never thought my lack of participation would ever pay off, or so I thought.

He did what?
I grew up in a home where non of my family had a filter what so ever. My parents always educated me and my younger sister about everything. So over time and as I had gotten older, there really isn't anything people can do or say to embarrass me. This story not only embarrassed me but I felt very hummileated. My name is Keziah and I am your narrator for this story, please feel free to share my story.

The Long Con
Regrets are for those who haven’t tried the wealth of opportunities we have extended to ourselves daily and these can lead to embarrassing moments, but a flushed and blushing face is always worth taking a chance. I was twenty five when I had my first baby, actually my wife at the time had her, but I did my part. I’d never been around babies, I was the first in my family to have one, so I’d be doing a lot of firsts, but I have to say changing a diaper scared the shit out of me.

The Dragon On My Back
SINGAPORE was where I set foot the first time I travelled outside my home country, the Philippines, on the way to my new home down under. I was in Singapore for only 20 hours, an unseasoned traveler who was overwhelmed with the enormity of step I was making.

I Got Scammed Out of $20,000 By a Psychic
Her name was Gin and I thought she was my friend. I know that sounds weird, but it's true. When I first walked into her office, I was a bit lost in my life and I was in need of some guidance. I was greeted by her daughter who came up pretty close to me and started asking me questions. Shortly after, her mother came out and asked me a few questions, as well.

Long Live My Embarrassment
The following is one account of the mortifying events that took place at an undisclosed hockey game many years ago. This story has been passed along by others and is now infamous at Pleasant Grove Junior High School – retold every year as a legendary misfortunate incident. The events are typically recanted by a choir teacher, and spreads through the hallways amidst gasps and giggles. Many of those students are not aware that I, Sarah Parson, was right in the middle of it all. This is my story.

My Milkshake Brings ... Embarrassment
The Summer of 2013, I started my first job ... I'm just going to say it was a fast food restaurant, not which one. The first few weeks I was working, the milkshake machine was down (and/or we didn't have any milkshake mix in the inventory), so I didn't get a lot of initial practice with how to make milkshakes. How they work though is you pull the handle down on the machine, then you have to watch it and lift the lever again ... or else you'll get milkshake everywhere. (Remember this fact for later, it's important!)

There's a first time for everything
I know this might sound cliché, but one of my most embarrassing moments happened on a night out drinking with my high-school girlfriends. I am sure there are many more cringe-worthy moments in my life that are not coming to mind at this moment, but this one stands out particularly in my mind, neon signs pointing at it in all possible gamut of colors to keep reminding me how utterly embarrassing it was.

As a new yoga teacher, experience is everything.
Everyone farts. It is a part of being alive. There is a book titled “Everyone Farts" I have read it to my children. I tell my children, there is more room on the outside, and I use this phrase for many things, things like expressing how you feel, farting, brainstorming, burping, etc. I know I am an eclectic mom, an eclectic person. I thrive on being just a little bit outside the lines.
