Week 2

Today doing my presentation I was very nervous. I felt cold and my body was shaking. This was weird because I've done oral presentations before for other classes. I think my awkwardness this time was because I had to specifically talk about myself. I had to share personal information, present my goals and obstacles I've faced in my life to others. I think doing presentations is not my strongest characteristic as a student but I manage to do well enough. The most important thing is that I want to learn more and more everyday. I also believe that we learn from our mistakes. I think that by doing more public speaking like this, partnered with the help of this course I will become a better communicator in respect to speeches and presentations.
This speech was helpful because we did it by our selves and the next one is as a group. This way we are better prepared for our group presentation, and more comfortable with public speaking to others. The main reason why I took this course is because when I become a professional with the help of God, this is a skill that I will have and be experienced in when it comes time to talk to others. I even left my FEAR to the side because I had some index cards and I didn't look at them. I spoke to our class very naturally. Everything I said came from my mind and heart but I also think practicing helped because I knew what I was going to say to the class. I did leave out some other things I was going to say. I guess it's because of FEAR, but overall I think I did pretty good.
