A journey that has taught me many new things.
At the beginning of the semester I was very nervous for this speech class. I did not know what to expect and how this class was going to be. As the days went by I became more comfortable and was able to participate in many group activites and speak well in front of my class. The first time I went up for my Narrative I was nervous but then as the days went by I learned more and more on how to speak to an audience. I have learned that communication is key to being effective. I feel that if one cannot communicate well with others then you are not being effective in what you may be speaking about. I have learned many skills and concepts during the first month in this class. Beginning with how to make the communication process effective, starting with eye contact, speaking properly, being prepared, and having a common understanding with the audience. These are the many skills and lessons I have learned throughout the semester of delivering a great and effective speech. This journey allowed for myself to have more confidence within me and being able to believe that I can do anything I set me mind to. I want to thank Mrs. Magabo and my fellow classmates for helping me grow in this class and have better communications skills with others and being very successful in this course.
