Classic Speaches
I gave the famous speach by Susan B. Anthony on womens rights to vote. Out of the other speeches, this one was the oldest, it was given in1872. Giving this speech help me alot because I am more comfortable with reading other peoples words then my own. when I am giving my own speech I am concerned wheather or not people will like what I am saying and not think that it is boring. However, when I am reading someone elses words I don't care what people think of the text because I did not write it. Reading other peoples words helps me to stay calm, but though I was still really nervious. I think that I did well on this speech, I tryed my best to talk slower and not to stutter.

My First Speech :]
Many of the speakers, almost all of them, seemed as if they were very nervous. there were some, including myself, that filled up some of the time using "like" and "um". I think that over time everyone will start to feel more ocmfortable with the people in the class, which will help them to stay calm. I know what I need to work on. that is to stay calm, and not talk so fast. I get nervous very esayly, and when I get nevrous it tends to get me to talk fast and ramble on. I hope that by the end of the sememster I will be able to talk clearly and slowly with out using "likes" and "ums".
