in tenth grade we had to make a speech on the best day in our lives.
Wish we hadn't been asked that. Its not fair. How would a kid know? And what if he shouldn't have thought so, at least in front of the other kids, who might not like him...

@Elevatorpitches sounds tough for someone who may be a bit vulnerable. Sounds like a thoughtless teacher.
Any "best" experience since tenth grade? I hope so!

@Elevatorpitches clearly it had a big impact. I hope you got past it quickly.

@nowic2 no I really didn't, it was just one of a billion unkindest cuts.

All else is irrelevant.
