Public speaking

I'm cadet Allessandro Vos and I'm here today to tell you my point of view of JROTC and how it became to be. Before I get to the point, I would like to say that JROTC is a great program and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in taking JROTC. This essay will show what I have learned in my years of JROTC by giving you information about JROTC from 1916 to today and tomorrow. Me and my fellow cadets have been working hard to follow the cadet creed and the seven Army values to show…

I thought that Mr. Manning and Ms. Chanthavone’s speeches were very interesting. Mr. Manning and Ms. Chanthavone helped me to understand a lot of things.

Mr. Manning and Ms. Chanthavone helped me to understand more about Mr. Manning and his college experience, Ms. Chanthavone and her college experience, and goal-setting. Mr. Manning helped me understand more about himself and his college experience. Mr. Manning went to Limestone…

When I am up front in of an audience various things happen to me. My face starts to get hot and red really quick so then the room becomes very hot as well. Along with my hands start to get sweaty so that causes me to move my fingers around to make them not as sweaty. I like to shift my weight back and forth because it keeps me moving. Also when I am giving a speech I feel like I can only make eye contact with the person that is grading me and just glance at the audience here and there. Just…

Informative Speech Video Assignment My informative speech’s specific purpose was to inform my classmates about genetic testing and how it relates to cancer. I feel like I achieved my purpose well, but would have done better if we had more time for our informative speech. Genetic testing is a complex topic and is hard to fit into a five-minute speech. Overall, I believe I did well in teaching my classmates about genetic testing and cancer. My introduction in this speech went much better than…

Jrotc has been a long way in 100 years ever since the bill that was created in 1917 as the national defense act (found in text book on page 18). This was made to make reserve officers which has now changed over time and is still changing. The jrotc program has been used in many countries which all together have 1,550 high schools worldwide using the jrotc program. The purpose of jrotc today is to make a better citizen in all high school students who take the course. Jrotc today is a better way…

Oratory, through my technique, presents itself in the form of a grandiose sentiment to the subject at hand, where my methods of presentation aggrandize even the most mundane topics. Uncharacteristically developed from my nervousness and stern demeanor, oratory was not a skill I knew possible within myself until I was forced to stand before a crowd. In some convergence of anxiety and want for respect amongst my peers, I unconsciously spoke with such a stentorian voice that my audience was left…

However this is only part of the story ones emotional intelligence also allows them to adjust to and handle stress, anxiety, etc. One emotional intelligence directly relates to how one deals with these internal and…

Reflection I remember going to the College advisor and trying to figure out what class I would be taking for the fall semester of 2016. I was a little late in the enrollment process and some of the classes I wanted to take were either not available or completely filled. So my advisor asked me if I would be interested in taking speech class. I thought to myself “I don’t really like talking in front of people but it is a requirement.” So I signed up for Introduction to Speech Communication…

As an ESL student, and an introverted person, speaking in public is always a huge challenge for me. In fact, if Speech Communication is not a required course for every student, I think I would never enroll in this course. Nevertheless, during the process of taking this course, I realized that I have learned a lot, and this course is not so burdensome than I thought before, on the contrary, it is quite interesting to listen to other classmates’ speeches, and giving my own speeches in front of a…

feeling the butterflies in my stomach and the nerves are going crazy, at the same time, I am maintaining a poker face. Speaking in public is not something that I have mastered, I enjoy the interaction and getting my point across...its the being in front of people part that I have to get completely comfortable with. I have several obstacles that I face when speaking in public, when my nerves try to take over, the words in my head or on paper do not always come out that way I planned. I always…
