Second Day of Class

Today was a very interesting day. I came to class really nervous because we had a do a 3 minute speech entitled "my journey". I had prepared my speech and rehearsed it the night before thinking that it would help me to remain calm. But we didn't do the speeches right away. First we talked about an article about communication. Then we did some slide shows on the history of communication and the different types of communication. This was very informative and I was able to see why communication itself is so important. It is definitely a skill that everyone needs to be able to contribute to society. After that lesson we did a little exercise in groups of 6. We each had a scenario that we had to figure out from beginning to end in a group. It was very interesting to see how we all contributed in the group. After that exercise we began the speeches. The first one was awesome and fun. I went third. I was really scared and nevous but wanted to get it out the way. I talked about my background and my journey in the military. How it helped me become the person i am. Also how I can overcome and do anything I wanted to do dispite what someone else thought about me or my goal. After lunch everyone did their speeches and it was soo mind blowing. I even cried during a few of them. Its amazing how you never know what someone is going through. You think sometimes that you are the only one going through something when in reality its just your turn to go through it. Other people already have. Hearing everyones disclosures helped me to open my eyes to the reality that we all have our issues. We all have pain and we all need love and understanding. Never judge anyone because you have no idea what they have been through...........
