Exhibition is almost here!

I am not nervous about exhibitions, in fact I am ahead. I have finished all of my projects and right now I am working on my speech. In my speech I want to feel emotionally intertwined with my audience , so they can grasp all that I am saying. Some tips I can share is : make sure all my assignments are in on time, have note cards prepared so I can have a good speech planned out, and take each assignment seriously so that I can have a good shot at winning the grand prize of $500.
It is important to be comfortable in public speaking so that when I am talking to a croud of people I don't have be nervous, and I can talk to the audience like I've known them for a very long time, but still with doing that be formal. Public Speaking is sometimes a challenge when I have to memorize certain things, such as a script, but It's great to have a powerpoint behind me , because if I forget something then It's there almost like a cheat card. I know my public speaking is on point when I have great transitions, and don't have to slur over my words. In the future I'm going to need to be a good public speaker because if I have a job interview with a judging panel they might ask me certain questions and I'm going to need to answer them assertively.In the future as I move to on to higher positions in my life so does my public speaking skills. The carrer I want to choose is either a physcologist, or a piediatrician. With the work profession of a pshycologist when I have my own patients , I want to be able to speak to my patients without any misunderstanding on my part.

NERVOUS :(

Right now I’m not as nervous because the presentation is kind of far away. But as the day approaches I’m sure I will be nervous. I only get nervous talking in front of people because when everybody is staring at you it’s kind of hard to not be scared. I think that a reason why I would be scared is because all the people that will be there, I get more nervous when people that I know is in the audience because they make me laugh on purpose_____NOT DONE (only had 2 mins)

Exhibition Presentations: Last Minute Thoughts

I’m fairly nervous about presenting, as always, but not as nervous because I am used to speaking in public now. Though, lately people have been telling me that my voice projection is not loud enough, so I need to work on speaking loudly. The other thing I am nervous about is that I have barely finished my speech and have not practiced it. So this means that I will have to be practicing my speech on Wednesday and Thursday.

The tips that I could share for handling nervous feelings are to take normal breathe and not think about presenting. Just review your speech in your head. Also look at the people who present before you, and pay attention at the thing you think they did well and do that when it’s your turn to present. But this is also learning from other people’s mistakes. You won’t do what they did wrong and you have the opportunity to do even better.

So far

a. Yes somewhat because I know there will be some parents and even some of my own family members who may be shocked of my topic. But other than that I just need to complete my PowerPoint and I will be ready for my presentation’s think that I will have some humor in my speech because of certain phrases I’ll use. I think I will be able to present in front of my family because I know them and then others family because their complete stranger

b. Kendra Johnson told me “if you’re not nervous it means you don’t care about doing” I think all you have to do is keep your mind on what you are doing and don’t think about what others think and how nervous you are.

c. It is important because if you are applying for a job or are presenting a project at your work it’s good to have the practice we are getting now and be confident and believe in what you are saying.

Reflection by Aman

Concerning the delivery of my presentation I am most nervous about comfortability. I generally do not have a problem with public speaking. However, I do not like to get up in front of a large group of people and not know what I am talking about. My confidence comes from my assurity of topic. If I feel that I am familiar with what I am to be saying then it is smooth sailing. I am not intimidated by people but at the possibility of disappointing myself. If I feel I sound incompetent than I am disappointed in myself. That is something that I am working very hard to prevent. I pray I do well.

There are some tips that I can share with my peers which can assist with nerves. One of which is to breathe and remember that you are your worst critic. Also, take comfort in knowing that the audience is made up of people who support you and understand the gaul it took to get up on the platform.

It is important for me to be comfortable with public speaking because I need. I must be able to persuade people if I am going to be an effective activist. I want to be prepared to speak in any forum and have my voice heard. The ability to speak in public goes along with that.

UNFINISHED

I am nervous, but I feel that when I start talking that the nervousness that I feel will go away. I just keep saying to myself that I won’t judge them when I’m in the audience so why should I be nervous that they will. Now I’m KINDA okay, not super man okay. I’m superman with a little kryptonite in him. I feel like this whole thing is important because we will need public speaking in a lot of the things we do or want to do in the future. Public speaking is painful at times, but also benefits you, us, in any if not everything we want to do in life.
A tip that I have is to remember the speech, try not to over-think ANYTHING. If you do you’ll start to think about the negative side to everything GOOD.
