Option # 2

First off, I’d like to say that communication is the most important thing between people. Not only is it central to everything that we do, but without communication no one would be able to relate or connect to anyone. The image which I chose defines me when I try to communicate to a large group of people. The qualities of communication which are valued in this image are that of nervousness, uneasiness and embarrassment. Making speeches to or in front of a lot of people is so nerve-wrecking for me. Normally when making speeches, I get so panicky that I start changing things in my speech, or start shaking on the inside a little, and sometimes my voice also begins to stutter. It has always been this way for me since the beginning and I’ve always been so apprehensive when having to give a presentation or speech in front of a class. Furthermore, being that I get so uneasy when making speeches, I have never been able to show the real potential that I have to make a great speech. I would definitely like to develop communication and speaking skills that would allow me to deliver a speech/presentation, whether in front of a class or in front of a whole auditorium, with confidence. Being in this class, I hope to learn so much that there would be a complete change in the way that I make presentations and speeches. Therefore, I believe that it’s just a matter of taking this class that would allow me to better my skills and hopefully overcome this fear of making speeches.
