Journal 7

 I think my speech was fine but could use improvements but it wasn't all bad. I think the amount of time I took was well. When preparing I would ask my dad if I was missing steps and that my facts were correct. I would ask him tips just to refresh my memory. I think the prop I had was good because it was a demonstration of a mandatory thing to have when changing the oil. With the speech itself I think my pace was good and how loud I was. Now the things I can work on for the next speech is if I do it outside again to make sure to do it on a warm day so I'm not shivering during the speech. During the speech I would forget lines so I think next time to read over it before I go to bed to remember it better. I think I was a little more nervous this time just because it was a longer speech. For my next speech I am going to practice the speech a lot more because I am going to be learning about a completely new topic so I am more likely to mess up my words.

Journal #1: My Goals for this Course

I hope to get better at communicating in front of a large group of people. In the past when it came to talking in front of a large group of people I would freeze up and forget my lines. This would cause teachers to think I used ai in my presentations because they thought I didn't know what I was talking about. It does not matter how much I practice, I just can't get myself to remember what to say once I see a group of people. The way I hope to get better at this is by reputation. I think I haven't gotten comfortable doing it because I haven't done it much. With this class since it is a speech class I hope since we will be doing many presentations I can finally get over my fear of presenting in front of people. When it comes to presentations with a large group there are things I do well in. One thing I do well is the volume of my voice. Throughout my past I have never gotten a teacher to tell me I was not loud enough or to speak up. Another thing I think I do well is eye...

Journal #2

 In my PRCA-24 it states that I scored a 93 which puts me at the top range that says I have a high level of c ommunication apprehension. I don't  really know if a 93 is good because  all my sub catorgies are in the 20s. I will stay how I feel when giving a speech and how I will help it. First I feel the stress when I think that people are watching me. For  some reason that has always got to me  whether  it was in class or playing sports, I go on runs but only at night because I don't  like people watching me do things. The thing I will do to help this is when Im practicing at home I will get my parents or even my siblings to watch me give speeches. I think this is a problem that affects  everything so I'm  going to start to work out in the day time to get the fear out of my system.  I will also research as much as possible so if I make a mistake I can cover it up with things I read about or know about to be prepared when it happens. Fina...

Journal 8

 I think I am a good listener when I want to be. If someone asks me to listen to their thoughts or feelings, I will sit there and let them talk however long they want to. Then will give them feedback with a situation or a speech to improve. Certain situations that Im very good at is when people are talking about their feelings and need someone to listen to them. I never judge no matter how much they're in the wrong and I will give them tips on how to help that I think will work. When it comes to speeches I think I do worse at it since I'm not good at saying speech. I feel like I can give them tips because I never take my own advice. I think my listening skills have improved my friendships because people usually come to me when they want to talk about there problems.
