My Goals & Evaluation of Video
I want to gain more confidence in myself while speaking. I get very nervous when being tasked with anything that deals with speaking to others. I want to learn how to be more effective as a speaker and to be able to improvise when faced with tough questions or facts that I was not prepared to talk about. I want to become a better impromptu speaker and to learn how to better prepare myself for a big speech so that when the time comes, I will NOT be afraid. I believe that my introduction video was very short and last minute, but truly covered the kind of person I am. |
Feedback on the Class
I think the class was very interesting and good for me. It helped me open up and get a little comfortable speaking in front of people. I used to always tense up and get nervous. My voice would start to shake and I would lose whatever little amount of confidence I had in the beginning and end up giving up. But now, I get up without a worry and say what I need to say without anything holding me back. The community speech was my favorite moment in this class because I got to share a personal concern with how our island is being run with current lawmakers, other special guests, and classmates. I feel like my greatest downfall in this class was the way I looked at it. I didn’t see this class as something that would really benefit me and I started to think that this class was just a filler on my IDP, but it isn’t. This class has done amazing things for me and I hope other students will take this class seriously, especially if they are shy. |
