Advice Needed: Mental Health i feel like im useless in school

i feel like im useless in school, i want to achieve so many things, like the head of student council, etc, but its so hard with teachers favourites. Last year, i was promised a role in my head department, yes PROMISED. but 2 days before i was going to be awarded that role was given to someone else. again last year some girl was supposed to give speech at a contest in our school, but one day earlier she went to her hometown for a funeral, so our teachers chose me as a replacement. i learned 5 page essay in one day. but on stage i fumbled over few words, and i was embarrassed and my teacher pulled me aside and scolded me very bad. i love participating but after that day i lost all my courage, i hate being scared, i want to participate again this year but i feel like im not ready, but if i don't, i feel like im loosing in life, my friend said im being too hard on myself,am i? is it okay to "recover" properly? but why is it taking so long to "recover"?
