Self Evaluation:
I for one am not used to talking about myself most especially on video. I had trouble making this video due to not knowing what to say or basically how to start. Overall I would say that I think that I tried about 15 times before settling with this. In all honesty, even that there was no crowd in front of me it did not make a difference. I believe that the thought of knowing that others will watch my Introduction was what got to me the most. Overall I think that I did okay despite the many tries, but I still have a lot of work ahead of me in terms of improvement.

My Goals which I hope to reach by the end of this course is, one, to be able to overcome being nervous when speaking publicly. Although I am an outgoing person I still tend to stutter a lot in the process. Second would be keeping eye contact. This is the one I have difficulty with most, because I am always afraid of what people may think or even how they would react. I hope to be able to overcome these feelings upon completion of this course.

My favorite speech would be the demonstration speech. This was my favorite speech because, I found that it was a lot easier for me to be in front of a class talking about something that I was comfortable and familiar with. For the demonstration speech I decided to teach the class how to make Broccoli Salad or as some people may refer to it as Crab Salad. It was just a few simple steps and you ended with a delicious side. The idea of teaching something I knew of was not only fun, but to see that they enjoyed what I had prepared was such a good feeling.

Throughout this course I believe that I have made some improvements and some I still need to work on. I am not as shy now compared to when I first started, which to me is a huge improvement. The area I need to work on is learning to focus because I still tend to forget certain things during a speech. I definitely enjoyed this course, as I believe it would help me be a better speaker.
