The factors that influenced me to become a paraeducator are my passion to work with children and the desire to make a positive difference in their lives. I want to help children succeed and reach their full potential both socially and academically. When my twin boys (who are now 21) were in elementary school, I spent many hours volunteering weekly in both of their classrooms. I helped the teacher by preparing learning materials and I worked in small groups or with individuals with reading and math. I loved the time I spent in the schools with the children and loved the school environment.

As an AP English student I am mainly interested in continuing to practice and develop reading and writing skills

After being chosen as the President of National Honor Society, the most active club at my school, one of my duties was inducting the new members each year. I remember the butterflies in my stomach as I looked out at all the NHS members and their parents sitting in the huge auditorium. My principal and head of school were both keenly listening to me speak as I prayed not to stutter on any words. However, with every word that left my mouth, I felt my level of confidence rising. After finishing off strong and hearing the roar of applause, I realized that effective public speaking is a vital leadership skill that I definitely

David Carbonell is one such psychologist who happens to specialize in anxiety studies. Chicago-based Carbonell runs a workshop specifically tailored to the needs of patients suffering with a fear of public speaking. Carbonell makes heavy use of improv techniques in this workshop. It helps that Carbonell is a member of a local improv troupe made up entirely of psychologists.

Although I can get nervous at public speaking, I am trying to overcome it over the course of time and I can acquire experience along the way
The value of public speaking evolved during time until now which became a predominant activity worldwide. Public speaking was a course requirement to obtain my bachelor degree, at first I wasn’t quite fond of it as I have never practised speaking in front of an audience before. Plus, I easily become nervous by getting all the eyes of the audience on me. Furthermore, my experience with public speaking course was intriguing as I recall the first time I arrived and my professor demanded that I should speak about myself in front of the class.
Iwasiw & Goldenberg (1993) and Henning et al. (2006) used a Clinical Teaching Experience Questionnaire (CTPQ) to evaluate students’ (peer learner) perception about PAL in clinical teaching.

In 2011, McKenna & French investigated effectiveness of PAL in undergraduate nursing student by using the CTPQ and another questionnaire named Peer Teaching Experience Questionnaire (PTEQ) that consist of 14-statement.

As students, presentations are something that is required in most classes yet, students do not see themselves as public speakers. Throughout high school and now in college, I have had to present material in 80 percent of the classes that I have taken. Presenting was, and still is something that I struggle with no matter how big or how small the group is that I am presenting to. I knew that Public Speaking was a required class for me so, rather than putting it off, I decided to go ahead and get it out of the was as soon as possible. Speaking in front of people is out of my comfort zone.
