REFLECTION
It took me a few tries in order to finally settle for this video take. I was able to introduce myself based on question that were asked from other people. A good point that I saw in my video was that I didn't seem so nervous. I was able to confidently introduce myself. However, I did notice many bad points. One, for example, was that my hair kept falling on my face. When speaking to the public, the speaker should not have their face covered up. Also, I moved too much, which is really distracting. I always looked away from the camera because I had to think about what I was going to say next. Another bad point was that I don't think I was able to control my tone of voice. Through this course, I hope to improve myself in speaking and presenting.

GOALS
Although I've had some experiences in speaking to the public, there are still many areas that I would like to improve on. My goals for this course include improving on eye contact, sounding and performing more naturally when giving a speech, and to remove my stage fright. These are some major problems that I would like to learn more of in order to have a better version of myself. I personally enjoy communicating with people and speaking up, so I view this course as a great opportunity for me to improve. I look forward to learning more and hopefully achieving my goals by the end of this semester.

FAVORITE SPEECH
DESCRIPTION
The speech I chose as my favorite is my "This I Believe" speech. It was one of the first speeches we were assigned to create and perform during the beginning of the semester. I chose this as my favorite because I felt that it was my most passionate speech. Although we were allowed to look at our paper and read off of our speech, I didn't for the most part because I quickly memorized my speech since I really enjoyed this speech. This speech taught me how to deliver a passionate speech, but also how to control my breathing, delivery, and tone.

REFLECTION
The goals that I wanted to achiever during this course was to improve on eye contact, sounding and performing more naturally when giving a speech, and to remove my stage fright. I admit that I had major straight fight during the beginning of the semester. However, throughout the course, I was able to control it a lot more and I feel proud about it. I also had problems with eye contact, but I learned from my mistakes and was able to improve on it as well. I plan on continuing my goals by practicing more in other classes and at home.
