How long has it been since I last given a speech or presentation? That 's a great question. It 's been a very long time since, and when I say that I mean I haven 't given a formal speech or actual presentation since I was in high school. With that being said I have an internship with the Kearney Area Community Foundation, where I present information to my boss and sometimes even the board of directors when showing them new web designs, which requires presentation like skills.

Three of my strengths when speaking in public would be my hand gestures, the ability to look people in the eye and speaking calming and slow enough for others to understand. I learned these skills from my boss at KACF where she speaks publicly whether it be for the news, radio or public events. With this skills I have become a reasonably calm and confident speaker. Three challenges I face when speaking in public is first worrying what others might think of me, mispronouncing a word and chocking up about it mid speech and finally getting the shivers that show in my voice because I become nervous. These scenarios often occur when I am not comfortable with my environment and those involved. Another trigger is when I do not feel confident in myself and know there are better presenters than me. I will use my three strengths to assist myself in overcoming challenges that I may come in contact by first, reminding myself of the skills I possess, second using my eye contact and hand gestures to remind the audience that I am confident with what I am presenting and third remembering I have a clear and calm voice that will allow those to understand what I am speaking about. These three strengths will allow me to provide a well presented speech and show others that I am confident in what I am talking

Susan Eaton’s work, The Children in Room E4, shows the racial and economic segregation that is very prominent in Hartford, Connecticut. Stemming from the availability of jobs and the housing market, Hartford has turned into the segregated city it currently is today. Especially in Hartford’s urban schools, economic and racial segregation is the constant truth that lurks in every corner, over every teacher’s shoulder, in every student’s face. This ugly truth has resulted in an unequal educational system between schools that are only miles away. Though the state has been made aware of the unequal opportunities between urban and suburban schools, little change has been seen to benefit the children of Hartford.

My biggest need is just the need to be better prepared and second to be more organized. Practice and opportunities to speak in front of a group will help to continue to develop speaking skills. During interviews, I dislike questions about how I feel or a time when I reacted a certain way.

Being confident shows your audience you are comfortable talking about your topic and that you are well informed on what you are specking of. Another thing that I can improve on is relaxing, for example, to not be so nervous. If I can think two steps ahead before I speak it would prepare me for what I am about to say which will allow my words to flow out smoothly and correctly. I plan on improving these skills by practicing more speeches in front of people and doing some relaxation exercises before my speech. I believe by implementing more speeches and doing some of the exercises, it will have me more relaxed, keep my mind focused and boost up my confidence so that I may present my speech flawlessly for an A plus grade.
