I grew up in a city called Racine. Racine is located in the southeast corner of Wisconsin. Racine is a pretty varied city. What I mean by that is you come across people from all walks of life. there are a lot of kids, a bunch of teenagers, a multitude of middle-aged people, and some senior citizens.…
Tiffany, I found your post to be very informative. I would like to add that C. diff can become very dangerous according to The Mayo Clinic, it can cause kidney failure and inflammation in the colon. Other symptoms include diarrhea, blood in the stool, weight loss, nausea, and pus in the stool. As you had mentioned in your post C. diff is more prominently seen in patients who’ve been in the hospital and who have been on antibiotics. I found it interesting to read in Science daily that C. diff reoccurs in 20 percent of patients who have suffered from the disease.…
I grew up in Denver, Colorado and ever since I could remember everyone around me made a big deal about Juneteenth. I never heard of Juneteenth before I moved to Colorado. In Colorado, it is so big that their is one entire week dedicated to it. It is almost considered like a holiday. Juneteenth is also known as Freedom Day.…
Good morning Professor Quiles, I extended the invitation for the Hispanic literature event to many students and one student name Erica De La Rosa has just given me the confirmation that she will be attending. I was also wondering where will we be meeting and at what time for next Thursday? Thank you, Alexis Nieves…
When creating my informative speech, I had to determine when I was presenting this information too which in the case is will be my professor. Then I decide what presentation to use, which in this case this is an informative speech. Before I started, I needed to create a delivery outline for my speech. When creating this outline, I had to think on how to communicate the ideas by trying to convince the audience on how to create and present an informative speech does not take as much time as they think it does. I also had to think about the duration on how much time I have to present my outline speech to the audience, which in this case would be 3-5 minutes long.…
For my informative speech, I talked about softball. I discussed the importance of gloves, finding the right bat, and the three important things when it comes to swinging the bat. I feel like my speech went pretty well. It could have been better due to the fact that when I presented I had not practiced my speech at all. I had just written out my speech on my notecards that morning before school.…
Since the “White Man” first discovered Native people, we have been forced to submit to their will, we have went through genocide, slavery, and just about anything else you can possible think of; however, even after all Native people have went through we still stand strong today, and we even fight in wars that aren’t our own. Today I want to tell you about a subject that could get messy if you are dead set in your ways, but I ask that you please keep your mind open, because I as a Native American can tell you first hand the hardships we have had to face and why we still fight to this day for a country that doesn’t care for us much. Today I want to talk to you about the Dakota Access Pipeline and why natives are so dead set on it not being created;…
I was very annoyed that I couldn’t get the words to sound correctly right away even though I was trying to do my best. I was hurt that my best wasn't enough to meet their standards. Later on while I was practicing I began questioning if my speech would ever be good enough to meet their standards. I just could not get what I was doing wrong in their mind. I then began asking myself whether I was good enough as a person to ever succeed.…
Good morning, tourists, you are now sitting in front of the most famous rock in Australia—if not the world—Uluru. Just look at this gigantic sandstone monolith. Doesn’t its burning red colour give you thrills? It is the heart of Australia. Whenever you look at the rock, it is always there, radiating its fiery passion.…
As I approached the podium, it seemed there were thousands of people in the room, my knees were knocking and my heart was pounding, but when I spoke, all of that began to fade away. Despite it not being perfect, I was left with ease and relief. I can recall having a discussion with my parents regarding the anxiety I had they informed me they were quite normal and the only way to improve was to ensure I had a significant amount of experience meaning I had to do it more frequently and that I had full command of the topic. Otherwise I needed practice and to be prepared in order to be a great public…
First Self Evaluation Paper In our public speaking class, I wrote an informative speech in order to inform the class about the vacation spot of St. Martin. After watching the video of myself giving my speech, I realized what I needed to improve on in my upcoming speeches. In this paper I am going to talk about my credibility, delivery, content of speech, and my goals.…
You are in class one day when the teacher announces a new assignment: students are to research and give an informative speech about any topic of their choosing. As the student, imagine that you are terrified to not only present the speech in front of your entire class, but to have to go through the process of picking a topic, researching it, organizing your speech, and practicing it as well. At the beginning of my communication class, this was how I felt about producing and giving speeches. I was nervous to talk in front of the class because I have always been very shy and have suffered from extreme speech apprehension. I also dreaded picking a topic and organizing my speeches as well, since I could never make up my mind and I was never good…
I sometimes get nervous about what people are thinking about my speech when I am giving it but if I don’t judge people from the audience then I will have the mindset when I am on stage that people from the audience are not judging me. Lastly, I think that I will be able to get up in front of people and give a speech without getting extremely nervous. I haven’t had much experience with speaking in front of big groups but hopefully by the end of this semester I will be very good at it without having any nervous feelings if someone asked me to give a public…
