Introduction to "I Was Nervous"

The second piece that I include is my fifth journal entry “I Was Nervous” that was written during our second week in class. In this descriptive writing, we had to use the show-not-tell technique where I should describe what I want to tell you. As an example, I wrote “The electric current that was flowing on my nerves subsided,” instead of saying that my nervousness is finally gone. I hope that you would feel how nervous I was in this piece, by showing and not just by telling.
