First, on one of my jumps I didn't push the pole enough, so when I jumped, I was perfectly balanced at the top of my pole and I slowly slid down. The other time, again not pushing my pole enough, I landed really close to the bar and the slid down and almost fell in the box(where you plant the pole). So that's making me a bit nervous for states.

You'll do fine, just practice a bit more, and when you do think of sliding down the pole or something, replace that thought with something like "Failing isn't an option". I was extremely nervous for my first XC meet, in fact, I was so nervous that at the practice the day before the meet, I was hyperventilating. It was soooo scary, because I could barely breath, and to top that off I nearly passed out. Though my coach still made me run the rest of the course. Then when I got back to the picnic tables {at the park when your practice was held}, everybody body came over to me and was so concerned because I was the last person to finish {since I ran the end with my coach}, and they were asking me what happened and stuff, so I just shrugged and kept walking.
Just remember, always try your best!

"Ok, let's take it from the top."
"The top of what?"
"Name."
"My name?"
"[sarcastically] No, my name!"
"I do not know your name."
