      Today in class we worked on using our vocabulary words in sentences and some exercises along with that. I got a deeper and better understanding of the 15 vocab words. I plan to use this to help me practice learning other words. I liked that I was able to use the vocabulary words to give me a better understanding of each word. Today I am feeling tired this week has been very busy but I’m glad I get to end it with a three day weekend to refresh my brain for next week.

What’s your favorite part of big events like this, and why?

 My favorite part of big events like this is that it brings people together. I think more times then not people tend to focus on themselves and their problems, forgetting about other people and sometimes disregarding them. With big events like this it brings people together to celebrate or enjoy a common thing. Obviously there is competition but I think that anyone who goes to these events can agree on two things: 1. They want to have fun and 2. They want their team to win. Overall I like how passionate and friendly big events like this can be.  Today we took a quiz and did any missing work that could bring our grade up. Today was good.

What do you think are your biggest strengths as a speaker? What challenges do you face when presenting in front of an audience?

 I think my biggest strengths as a speaker is that I'm not shy and am able to keep eye contact. I don't struggle to present and usually I am well organized. I also understand how to explain certain topics so people can better understand. I think I often get confused to find the right words to express exactly what I mean. I can stumble on my words or stutter because my mind often moves faster than my mouth does. This makes me resort to saying things such as "like" or "um" or "uh" to help me better organize my thoughts and express what I would like to say. Today we presented our projects. Today was an alright day my mind has been everywhere. I feel tired and honestly just want to relax.

Describe a time when you had to speak in front of an audience. What were your fears? How did you handle them? What advice would you give to someone struggling with stage fright?

 A time I had to speak in front of an audience is during a Christmas recital at my church. I was only 11 years old and I needed to talk to the audience because I needed to explain the recital. I was scared because I was going to be speaking in front of a lot of people some of whom were new to the church. I dealt with this by paying attention to the people I knew such as family. I would tell someone who is struggling with stage fright to focus on the future and after you covey your message, this will help you think about what your doing.   Today in class we went over how to present as well as the qualities you should and shouldn't have while doing so. Today was a good day.
