Reflection
1. Jacob- Passion, is the word for Jacob’s
speech. I felt his love and concern for the human race. He showed it in his
eyes and his voice. The vibe of real concern for others and his tone
really caught me. It lifted my heart and gave me hope for our future. Knowing
there are people like him in the world. I would have liked to felt that way,
when presenting my speech.
2. Ling- Her mannerism along with
confidence gave you the impression that she knew what she was talking about and
that she was part of that culture and ideal. Her being from China, they
are only allowed to have one child per family. Which gave the speech meaning
and concern. Being in that environment and being exposed to it can open thoughts
to how it should be, to how it can be if done. To a point you want to say to
yourself, only have children you can take care of. Children are very expensive, if you want children, adopt children who need a home. Think about what you are doing for the sake of your livelihood as well
as for our environment.
3. Ryan- Good topic, there was a lot of
truth to what he was saying. Ryan really embarrasses his topics, I liked his
last speech as well. I heard and seen the concern about his ideals of his
speech. His body was looking forward, his chin is up, and his shoulders are
pulled back. Like when a fighter gets into a ring, standing tall and strong.
Ready to fight.
START: By utilizing the Comm. Lab all the time when preparing
for my speech. Being in the lab, using the equipment to practice your speech really helps you to remember your lines and how to
present your slides. I did not do that last time, I felt if I had done this,
things would have went so much smoother than my last speech. Practicing with
class mates, using the screen really gives you the feel of what it will be like when you are in front of your class mates presenting your speech.
I had found some
fellow class mates working on their presentation at the Comm. Lab. I was able
to present my speech and ideas, along with important criticism which helped me. I found their knowledge
and Ideas to be really helpful. I didn’t do that last time. I practiced at
home by myself. Not in front of people or classmates. By me
practicing over and over again, gave me the confidence that I needed. Knowing
your stuff really takes a lot of pressure off you when you are about to present
your speech. My confidence was much better, because the uses of Comm. Lab. and
my fellow class mate’s opinions. My tone was okay, my knowledge of the
information was presented with some hesitation.
When I had first put
it together, I had a lot of information on the screen for me to read off. When
I changed it I forgot to mention things of importance that would have gave my
speech more depth. Explaining what men were not doing in their relationships
with women, why women were giving up hope to ever find someone to marry. Why
women were going to Cyber sperm banks to get impregnated. All of this
information would have helped my speech to be more realistic in some way, or
made people stop and think about what I was saying. I did notice the men in the
class room didn’t like my radical idea to much because it pertain to men,
thoughts and ideas towards women and relationships. But to me, that was the idea.
Shake them up a little bit, throw out the UN- thought, the idea of change for
men as well as for women. To present what is not said or done in relationships,
why people do what they do. We all are brain washed to act a certain way, as
well as how we should look at things in our lives. Like with everything in our
life we are taught how eat, sleep, think, and date. To have fear of the UN-known brings prejudice thoughts, to go against the grain brings change. We
are creatures of habit. We have become too lazy to bring about change. We
should welcome new ideas by having an open mind, to allow growth for a better
tomorrow.
STOP: Feeling like it is the end of the world when
I am about to present my speech. I need to remember that I am here to learn as
well as they are. They are not going to judge you for who you are by your
speech. I did stop and made a change to how I practice my speech, by going to
the lab. I stopped and took a deep breath before my speech. I did stop thinking
so negative about myself and speech. I did stop and took criticism with welcome
arms. Last time I felt I didn’t need any advice. This is the truth buy the way.
I felt I stopped a lot of negative thinking and actions by making some positive
changes. By this, it build my confidence and I felt more relaxed when I
presented my speech.
CONTINUE: to open my mind for changes. To continue to
find new ways and ideas to present myself well in front of others. Continue to believe
in myself in what I am doing. That my ideas are just as good as the next guy.
Continue to believe in my fellow class mates, and that they make changes in the
things they believe. That some of their ideas become real and they present them
to the world. Boy, we need young minds to grow and brake traditions so we can
heal ourselves as well as our environment. Go my fellow class mates, I am so proud
to be in your class.
