Tomorrow I have to present my information with my partner about a society. For my History class. I never met with my partner and we only communicated through email and I am a little scared for tomorrow. I know that it is really important that I do well on the project, but I am not that confident that I will do that well. I have studied my information but I am afraid that we will not share the same information or that things won't sound right. I know that my partner is very capable but I am not sure if we will present the information good. I want to do good, but I am just afraid of failing. In high school I never had to worry about any of the projects that I had, because the projects were just so simple. I was never afraid of not doing well because I always did well. Now that I am in college, there is always pressure to do well and I don't want to suck. I really want to do the best of my ability and to succeed at what ever I am doing.
My project is about a gay society and it is during the time of world war two. Gays did not get the same rights that the straight people had. Many gays did not get the same benefits that all of the straight people did. They would often force them to leave the military, as soon as they would find out that someone was gay. For a long time there was the "Don't ask, Don't tell policy"and now that is gone. It has been a struggle for gay women and men to get the same rights as straight people. I really like the idea of having a gay society being present during a time where they were discriminated against. Even though I am straight I still believe that we should all be treated equally. I hope that everyone in my class understands what me and my partner are trying to explain. I wasn't everyone to know that it was not an easy time for gays at that time period and that it was rough for them to go what they went through. I hope everything goes well tomorrow, and I will be happy when my presentation is over with.
