Civic Engagement Speeches

Regarding the civic engagement speeches I think that everyone was well prepared and had a solid presentation. Eye contact for everyone was surprisingly strong. In high school I know many people just stared into the soul of the teacher and looked at no one else. But a lot of people still were dropping “um” and “uh” often (including me). As for my own speech, I definitely could have practiced more. I was not as confident and completely lost my train of thought when I got up in front of the class. I began to ramble and I wasn’t even making sense to myself, so I could only imagine what the audience was thinking. Anyways I’m glad to have gotten this first speech for the class over with and I know for the next one to prepare for in far in advance, rather than wait until the last minute possible. Other than that I think the speeches were successful and everyone was well prepared! 🙂
