Final Reflection:
My speech goals was to have better gestures and to be a clear and slow speaker. I definitely believe that I have improved even a little bit. Although I am not nobel prize speech worthy, I still think that I am a lot more eloquent than I was before and I definitely use a bigger variety of gestures other than clasping my hands. As for my plans on continuing to be a better public speaker, I will definitely strive to be that "nobel prize speech worthy" by practicing and preparing for other opportunities that will allow me to use my public speaking skills. I know for a fact that this is not the last time I will be public speaking. There will be another opportunity or even class that will make to do a speech or presentation and through those presentation I will sharpen my public speaking ability. I would say that my "This I Believe" speech is my favorite because it was the most personal speech I have written for this speech class. It was the most sincere and probably the speech that most people can empathize with. I would definitely rate this speech a 3.5 out of 5 because I talked a little too fast and I was reading off the paper. If only I talk slower and enunciated more clearly and actually memorized the speech, then I definitely would have given myself a 5. For future reference, I should probably practice a lot more before I do a final presentation.

My Evaluation of My Intro Video and Goals:
Throughout the video my eyes kept wandering around which I did not really like, and I seemed very awkward. I also was clasping my hands a lot throughout the video because I felt nervous due to the fact that I had never took a video of myself. As for my voice, I think the volume was okay but I talked too fast. I naturally am a fast speaker, so I hope in improve on that. So my goals for this class is to be able to confidently speak without looking awkward or nervous. I wish to be able to talk slower and enunciate better so the message I want to get across to the audience is delivered well without them wondering what I had been trying to say. I also wish to stop saying "um" and just smoothly be able to say what I need to day without using filler phrases like "um".
How was my video?
