After discovering her telepathic abilities, Hannabel left her parent’s cozy coop to strive for independence. Hannabel moved into a small house in the middle of Hickleville. Although Hannabel’s telepathic powers should be beneficial, it has been causing distractions when she has to present herself orally. She has always been surrounded by many people who are very expressive but she still finds it challenging. Throughout her life she has never been the ideal public speaker.

On many accounts when it is required of her to do presentations, she grows profoundly nervous and the excessive buildup of anxiety causes her to feel as though she can hardly breathe. The nervousness and being able to hear mental critics of others decrease her self-confidence. She has always struggled with orally presenting to a crowd of strangers even though she fully comprehends her presentation.

In a class, Hannabel forces herself to participate as much as possible because she wishes to change the poor self-confidence that she has. She is not a shy individual but she is not as audacious and blatant as the people around her. Since she is new to these telepathic powers, it is difficult for her to concentrate mentally. Her powers force her to uncontrollably listen to other thoughts while doing a presentation.

There is quite a huge difference between Hannabel’s speech communication skills in both the professional and personal scenarios. Since the personal situations consist primarily of an audience that she is regularly in front of, it makes her more confident and comfortable than that of a professional situation with complete strangers. Hannabel tends to be more loud and humorous in a personal situation than she would in a professional one.

Relative to oral communication, Hannabel is at her best when she is among her friends and family; she can be herself in these situations. But she is at her worst when she is among strangers; she doesn’t act herself because she doesn’t want to be judged and discriminated against.
