FIRST DAY OF ORAL COMMUNICATION CLASS

First Day of Oral Communication HUC 101 – 06/23.2010

I took this class because it is transferable to Queens College where I would like study in my future. I have never liked to speak in public even in my native language so the idea of taking this class scared me. Next year I will have my weeding and when I think that I will have to say a few words to all my family members and friends it make me nervous. The first day of class activities made me feel more relaxed about the idea of public speaking. The words of the teacher stating that: “everyone is perfect” and “ there is nothing wrong with anyone” – got my heart. In my opinion the main idea of a teacher and the key to be a good public speaker is to start believing that we are perfect…and now I hope there is a way to really make it work in my life. I have never believed in myself and I can say many things that I don’t like about me but if I won’t think about that. I believe my self-esteem will be stronger and I won’t be so nervous.
I have learned that I am not crazy when I speak to myself J because there is a “yourself” which YOU means the outside world- we react to the environment by expressing through communication and SELF- pure me. It was very interesting to learn that only when I was born I had experienced the pure SELF. After this class I can say that I want to break my shyness and became more open to public speaking, I have hope that the positive environment in this class will help me in it. This class is one of my challenges to reach, and I need to use here the bad word – I feel FEAR.- and I am sure after 6 weeks of class with this teacher I will never ever use that word againJ))))
