Write a story that ends with I had never felt so embarrassed in my life

In my final year of secondary school, I was chosen as the top student and made the head boy. Being the head boy made me feel invincible in school; or so I believed, until this fateful day. The responsibilities of being head boy included leading various academic extracurricular activities such as debates and quiz competitions. Typically, this wouldn't have been an issue, except I was incredibly shy and timid. I constantly told myself that failure was not an option and generally managed well by passing debate responsibilities to lower-class students under the guise of 'training them.' When a significant debate was scheduled, it felt crucial for me to participate, and the entire school would gather for the event. I practiced for two days solidly in anticipation; memorizing my material extensively. Hours before the event, I secluded myself in a classroom for further practice. I was convinced I would excel. But I was mistaken. When the day finally arrived, my turn was saved for last, to be the highlight. I was already sweating profusely. There was no backing down now. I took a deep breath and steeled myself to step onto the stage, as silence enveloped the hall. Everyone’s eyes were on me, and I felt their stares pierce through me like lasers. As I started to speak, I stumbled through my greetings and realized I had forgotten the topic entirely. Glancing at the banner behind me for a clue, I turned back to be met by the principal's serious expression; her gaze made my heart sink. I had no idea she was seated in the front row all along. Taking a deep breath, I attempted to speak, but everything I had rehearsed slipped my mind. Suddenly, the room erupted in laughter. I was the punchline. I glanced at the principal, who was laughing the hardest. Trembling, I struggled to remain standing. The exit suddenly felt impossibly distant, and I couldn't endure it anymore, attempting to leave through the hall’s center while the laughter roared. Finally reaching the door, I realized I was pulling instead of pushing. After what felt like an eternity, I managed to push the door open and escaped outside. I could hear the principal trying to calm the laughter through the public address system while chuckling. I had never felt so embarrassed in my life.

Write four to five sentences supporting the inference that the British waited until they were sure the telegram would encourage
Gnom [7528]

The British took their time, ensuring that the telegram would provoke the US into joining the war.

Admiral William Hall was aware that there was increasing anger in America following Germany's declaration on January 31 to renew unrestricted submarine warfare. Realizing that the U.S. was nearing its entry into the conflict, Hall decided to wait until February 24, believing that the Zimmermann telegram would push the U.S. to align with the Allied forces. He presented the telegram without disclosing that the Germans' codes had been broken by the British.

Zimmermann, the German Foreign Secretary, had sent a telegram to Count Von Bernstoff, the German ambassador in Washington, aiming to persuade Mexico to ally with Germany.
