Week one post

What I found helpful in the reading:

I found all of chapter 2 very helpful because I have tons of things to work on. The information in chapter 2 will come in handy becuase a lot of the techniques are in preparation of the speech. This will help me be prepared and in the end be able to successfully give my speech with out thinking about the fumbliing of words. I also liked the part about keeping a positive attitude. I have always had negative feelings about public speaking. If i make it a positive experience then i might enjoy speaking and in turn take more time to speak publicly. I hope to apply this asap because i usually get nervous just thinking about speaking. If i put positive words and phrases to speaking then i will eventually view it as a good experience and hopefully look forward to it.
