Since August, I did not mind going to effective speech class each day, and I did not have much difficulty with the material because I have previously taken a rhetoric course. Although I spoke about varying topics of afghans and ADHD, CAS 100A was like a review for me. The communication model and the rhetorical situation, which were useful constructing my speech, will further help me in life with future presentations and interpersonal conversations. These concepts have instilled in me a better understanding of how messages are interpreted. I feel that public speaking is much easier now because I covered topics in my speeches that are close to me.
I can honestly say that I have had the best summer of my life at Penn State. This experience has given me the assurance that I have made the right decision by coming to this school. Not only have I had a great time and made good friends, but also I have taken part of college classes in a traditional setting. In this picture, I am delivering my speech for the fourth time while practicing. It shows how I have managed my time to fit in my classes, which this will be a good skill that I have acquired this summer for the rest of my college career. After this summer, I now know Penn State wants to hear what I have to say.
