Its sad to say but I didn't, think that I would have made it to this extend in my academic career. Indeed, at the beginning I did not have any confidence, or pep in my step like most enthusiastic freshmen would have, knowing that their creating a new chapter in their college careers. I has insecurities only because, I was terrified of English. considering that it wasn’t my first language.…
Hi there Lisa, So, much has happened since we’ve last spoke. I will not bore you with the simple details, but only highlight the latest with bullets. • We are currently looking for a house to rent here in Morro Bay. As you might guess, rent is high.…
More or less, I got the reaction I wanted from the audience. I felt like it was not so boring that I lost anyone, and I definitely got a couple laughs at some of the jokes I tried. If I were to rewrite or perform my speech again, I’d probably do a few things differently. The main thing I’d do differently, would be to look up from the paper more. Before giving my speech, I did not think this would be a challenge, but once I was actually up there with all my nerves, I found it pretty difficult, to sustain speaking without looking at my script.…
“Describing myself” At first, this task seemed really easy. Who knows me better than me, myself? “Piece of cake”, I thought. Obviously, I was wrong.…
Starting a first assignment can be enjoyable yet nerve wrecking, as when it involves researching yourself on "Google". it doesn't seem to help either Being a beginner to online classes, Its quite Intimidating .Its comforting of being slightly used to the computer, as my past job experience has been mostly at call centers, in front of lucent screen. When I vigoursly research myself I expect to find past photos which I probably never knew existed, maybe a my space account, sadly abandoned as I matured through the years without it. What I did find though surprisingly did not surprise me .…
As a child growing up in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the Union, the idea of a vast planet brimming with civilization and culture was more like something out of a fairy tale than it was reality. So, when my father announced that we would be leaving the country to go to Scotland, the home of his and my ancestors, my world began to expand at a rapid pace. This trip could not have been timed more perfectly. The summer of 2007 marked the end of fourth grade, my first year at Saint Mary Academy Bay View.…
It was helpful that I had written out my notecards. I also knew most of the stuff I was talking about so it was not hard for me to make eye contact with people once I got started. I am always going to get nervous for speeches so whenever I get started, I may rush a little, or not seem as confident when I…
There are many steps to follow in order to prepare for a volleyball game and to prepare for a paper. I have to eat healthy, workout, practice, watch film, then practice specific techniques in order to prepare for a game. While writing, I have a set of steps to follow so that I will have an organized and successful paper, such as prewriting, drafting, conferring with friends, editing, proofreading, and finally publishing. Now I am standing in an empty volleyball gym and am finally ready to start the writing process.…
So i'm going to be meditative in my essay because when i write about my feelings i feel so much better and i don't really have a best friend to really talk to and maybe this isn't like meditative but it helps me concentrate and actually have something interesting to write about. Everything i change will be in blue writing, and so far while rereading my essay I started a lot of sentences with “So” So to start of I joined a sorority and m not trying to be those typical “it was the best decision of my life” because it's really not. Like I could've been better without doing it but i made that decision to be in it…
My second speech prompt was to introduce another person. Creating the speech was a little difficult. I was paired with Steve and getting information about him proved challenging. In the end, I did get some pretty good information and a great story to tell. As I went first the previous week, I went last for this speech.…
Numerous things led me to my ultimate decision to study film. My passion for the art of storytelling began at a very young age. I grew up in Houston, TX and many of my weekends were spent at the movies. Our remaining weekends were spent in Merryville, LA. A place quite the opposite of Houston.…
Claire said, “I just love rain.” That’s my friend Claire. She is exactly like me except for when she is the complete opposite of me. At lunch a couple days earlier, when I brought up the topic of not staying up on the news she recalled her morning where one of her teachers had mentioned “Ursula, or something..?” “You mean Irma?”…
Let me see where should i start from? There is a lot of things that i should tell you about myself. First of all i am in highschool and i am a freshman. Ever since i was a little kid i knew what i wanted to be and that is a doctor, but the thing is that i don’t know what kind of doctor i want to be. The thing is that what i do know is that i want to help out people and make them happy and also help little kids and get there minds off of the things that is happening around them.…
As a whole, I do not believe that this was my best speech, but there were parts of this speech that I believe that I did better on than the last speech. Like B.B. King I love to learn and hope that in my next speech I will notice new areas of growth in my speaking ability. My reflection begins with eye contact and body movement, moving on to the use of voice, and ending with the organization of the speech. Opening with delivery, the thing that stuck out the most was that my eye contact was poor at best. In the beginning of the speech, I looked around more, but when I came to material I did not know as well, my eyes were glued to the page.…
“I forgot to my joke” “My supplies at my table” “Four minutes already! I’m not even on my main idea yet!” “I did so badly”. Many bad thoughts flew b as I went through my speech; I thought that I was going to be the person to “wow the crowd”; “people remember the person who goes first and the person who goes last the most” (Danielle Woody). That did not work out.…
