What I've been up to..

Coming in and out of class the first week here i was defiantly a little unsure if i would be able to talk in front of these people. I was wondering how could i possibly construct a speech and talk in front of people for five minutes or more. It was defiantly a little scary at first and i think that this course has made me realize that it is all mindset. If you go into a speech scared and not confident i've learned that it plays a role in how the audience will accept your speech. My first speech was by far not what i imagined. I came in nervous and not as prepared as i should have been. However, this was extremely beneficial for my future speeches. This class allows you to learn not only from others but more importantly yourself. CAS100a has helped me in how i interact with other people too. I am much more confident going up to someone i don't now that i have this course under my belt. So, coming from a nervous, unprepared speaker i have learned what it takes to be an effective speaker through this course.
