This tends to make everything you say somewhat a question or hard to understand. If the audience doesn’t understand

I think this is a valuable component of public speaking because: If the audience doesn’t understand what you’re saying completely, you’re full idea or intention might not be conveyed

This is a goal for me because: I believe it’s hard to work on because it’s mostly natural but takes some effort if trying to in everyday conversation

I think this is a valuable component of public speaking because: It keep people focused on you and always moving to constantly have them alert.

One theme that has spoken to me throughout the semester is the idea of living up to one’s full potential. I began this semester by believing potential could be found in the pride of my parents.

Several experiences in my life influence my academic work and goals in College. The first is that I am Christian and I feel that God is leading me to the mission fields in Africa. It is nice to have a Christian choice in a university, and I feel that it will greatly influence my success in studying for Nursing and furthering my general education in college studies.

As I continued reading books, I started to visualize the whole things, and everything inside me started to come: experience of working in media and emceeing for that number of years, and studied mass communication, and all other experiences. It all started to come in my mind, and build a structure.
