So talking about a time that I remember when I felt embarrassed recently was one year ago. And it was the time where I was in my college days and in our college we were assigned some uh, final year projects. And we have to do a presentation from time to time for each like quarter of the month. And it was uh, at the period of. For I think the second or third quarter. And it was the day of presentation me and with my um. My project team. Project team mates. Altogether we were four. And we were you know, sitting I mean standing in front of those teachers and professors for presenting our project. And when we tried out to show our output and we clicked on it, then um, the output that we expected was totally different. And it ##ord was totally different. Actually what happened was like we have to input some voice to the. To our code or our. That system that we have made. And it has to uh, display some that um uh, emotions in the. The return form. But it always shows the same value for the neutral sometimes or sometimes it only showed the happy. And we were really embarrassed and we were actually worried. We tried out it for several times. Me and my other. One of the other friends tried giving input to it by using like several speeches, several text and speech. But then we were actually about to give up. One of our professor uh, professor came front andra us about the problem. And as soon as he heard about this he realized that we were not trying out to give the input. By giving some acting acting within our speaking styles. We actually we were using the same style for giving input to that system. And when he suggested us that then he himself tried out giving um, his speech in a different way. Except that from the way we were using. And the uh uh, surprising thing was that uh. It actually worked after using that idea from him. And then afterwards we presented our. The whole thing and easy and uh. In um, a a m better way. That was the time I really felt sometime some first time, I was so worried.

So, talking about a time I felt embarrassed, I remember one year ago, back in my college days. We were assigned final year projects, and we had to give presentations every quarter. It was during the second or third quarter, the day of the presentation, and I was standing with my project team, four of us in total, in front of our teachers and professors. We were ready to show our output, but when we clicked on it, the results were completely different from what we expected. We had to input voice into our code, and it was supposed to display different emotions in the output. But it kept showing the same value, either neutral or sometimes just happy. We were really embarrassed and worried. We tried multiple times, using different speeches and text, but we were about to give up. Then, one of our professors came forward and asked about the problem. As soon as he heard, he realized we weren't varying our input. We were using the same speaking style, so he suggested we try acting out our input. He himself demonstrated by giving a speech in a different way, and surprisingly, it worked! We were able to present the rest of our project smoothly and effectively. That was the first time I felt so worried and embarrassed, but it was also a valuable learning experience.
