Wilt - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

That's a really good point ya know. I personally beleive taht is indeed a fear of letting someone down. And while I was reading your post I came to see that perhaps Mr herriman, Eduardo and Coco nagging him about it and reminding him how bad it was didn't really help. At times it's best to forget about the past, because form what we've heard what happened the previous year at teh pageant was pretty terrible, and must have been absolutely humiliating for Wilt.

I remember last year I had to get up in front of my whole school and sing while another girl I know played the keyboard. it was my job to not only sing but to turn the pages, and i forgot to turn the page, so I got a little ahead of the song, then I had to go back turn page and repeat the last few words. This through me completely off, so i lost where I was on the page and forgot the words. So now, I cringe everytime I see the recording my parents made, but they tell me to watch it anyway. So now, I always worry about singing in front of crowds.

With Wilt, I'm sure that reminding him of what happened last year made him panic more, because as he would walk on stage he would start getting these nagging voices in his head going "Do NOT screw up!" or something, then that leads to the year before's happenings. Even though Wilt is probably the most optimistic character I have ever heard of, he can still be rather pessimistic about him self, leading him to slip, then panic about slipping and then getting everything wrong.

So I beleive it wasn't just Wilt's need to please, but the fact that although they were only doing it for the best, his friends kept on nagging him.
