Today, I had my first speech in class. Although I was late and put on the spot I must say that I am very proud of myself for doing as good as I did today. I know that sometimes I may come off as a shy person, but I didn't have not one butterfly in my stomach. I was confident, I spoke what was on my mind and everything just came very natural. The duration of the speech had to be between 1-4 minutes but I think that I went over the limit by one extra minute. I guess the professor didn't mind because she didn't stop me either.
What I noticed while I was talking in front of the classroom, was that I had every one's attention. I am not sure if I bored everyone with my speech but I like to believe that I didn't. Although the applause at the end of every speech is mandatory and necessary for motivation, I feel as though the class were clapping because it was genuine.
I must say, coming from that once little shy girl that I use to be back in elementary is no longer alive. Instead I have blossomed into a beautiful young woman with a voice to be heard.
I think your in the same speech class with my friend.
