I'm going to take...

I'm going to take from this class... the fun times, lessons we have learned from mistakes in our speeches, and the spirits of the people who strive to better themselves because of this experience. I am definitely going to miss this class because of all the wonderful people I met. Even though we did not see each other day in and day out, In each one of my classmates eyes I saw human beings. I saw strengths and weaknesses. I give a shout out to all the people that were able to stick around to the end and really commit their time and effort to this class. Through all my speeches and throughout this semester, I noticed a change in my attitude towards life. I feel more confident when I’m with other people. My words and messages that I give off to people are more concise and in sync with what I’m thinking. In my own life I think that the helpful thing that I will take from this class is the tremendous amount of learning, effort, pain, and pleasure of learning a skill. Before this class, I was skeptical about my ability to give a speech, and now I can say that I have definitely made big strides towards conquering my fears of public speaking. Thank you.
