Wednesday: Prompt: What do you think are your biggest strengths as a speaker? What challenges do you face when presenting in front of an audience?

 I think that my biggest strengths as a speaker is I can speak loud, maintain eye contact with the crowd, and also speak clearly minimizing mistakes. My biggest challenges I face when I present in front of a class is that I usually cannot control my tempo, when I talk I usually speed up my talking speed, probably just to get it over with. Another challenge I face is that I end up just laughing at myself sometimes. I usually look at somebody in the crowd and they make me laugh, or I just think of something and I end up laughing on stage. The last challenge I face is just reading from the slide. I need to just practice presenting before hand. 

Today in class, we presented our project on A Lesson Before Dying. I felt like my part went better than I hoped, and I did a good job. It was a little stressful, but at least it's over.
