Speech Class
I don't like to get in front of people and talk. I really don't like it. Despite my disdain for public speaking, I have actually been doing quite well in my Effective Communication class. Last week for our speeches we were given the choice of an Introduction, Presentation of an award, or a Eulogy. We were told we could be as creative as we wanted to be. I chose to a Eulogy. I chose to eulogize the Stay-Puft Marshmallow man. I actually wrote my speech out before class and practiced it. When I got to class I heard what some of the other people did and I came to the conclusion that my speech was not creative or funny enough. Although I had one written and practiced, I made the risky move of improvising. I completely made it up when I got to the podium. Amazingly, the class and the teacher responded very well! We got our grades back tonight and I got a 100! Instructor said it was, "Very creative, very good, and very funny!" What? I'm pretty proud of myself, but I still hate public speaking
