-I have worked in multiple extensive group projects with people, some of which was centered around working together to help teach a certain subject to others. I have also partnered up with past co-workers to complete a long term goal where it was important to constantly communicate with them. I am a very people-oriented person and can adapt to different situations and people easily as well as figure out our strengths as individuals and figure out how to use them to our advantage as a team.
How comfortable are you in speaking to groups of people? What experiences, if any, do you have in public presentations? -I am very comfortable with speaking to large groups of people. I have always been comfortable doing so because I started acting at a young age and most of what I did was monologues and since then I have performed several times and persormed in several poetry slams as well which gave me confidence when I speak. Since then, it has been very easy to deliver presentations and speeches in a clear and understandable manner while also keeping a friendly personality.
What experiences, if any, do you have in the field of sexual health and sexuality? (Such as sexually transmitted infections, birth control, pleasure, healthy relationships, communication, sexual assault, etc.) -I have been volunteering at Sex Out Loud for a few months now and I pick up information very quickly so I 've been learning as I go along. I have also been taking Gender& Women 's Studies 200 which
Human sexuality can be fascinating, complex, contradictory, and sometimes frustrating. Sexuality is interwoven into every aspect of being human; therefore, having knowledge about sex is as essential as having education about human anatomy. However, it is highly recommended to pay close attention when sex education is delivered to youths. (Donatelle 171)
Public speaking used to be a daunting task that I would try to avoid as often as possible, often I would be the last to present a project and would refrain myself from having to read outloud. When I would speak my head would fill with thoughts of how other were perceiving me and how easy it would be to mess up. With this nervous mentality my speaking was stuttered and confusing.
Whether I like it or not I been given the opportunity to talk to large crowds like a squadron or just a couple of people in the class. My problems have always been the same getting shy, anxiety, and even sweating. Learn to analyze the size of the audience, I want to be able to captivate my audience and overall I just need to find the confidence in myself to do it.
Bill and I know how to talk during presentations more than anyone else in the group because we took AP lit our senior year of high school. AP lit was a high level english class which was centered around group discussions and presentations. As a result of taking that class we were able
Public speaking came naturally to me. I was not afraid to stand in front of family, friends, and strangers to let my voice be heard. From public speaking
Public speaking is something that I enjoy. Being able to talk to many people at once and having them get to know a part of me is something I find interesting. With me enjoying speaking to people I found myself running for the Associated Student Body (ASB) president my senior year in high school, I was the secretary previous year. Knowing that with the position of being the president of the school I knew it came with having to be very social not only with my fellow ASB team but with the entire school! However, that was the least of my problems. I knew that in order for me to run for the position having a speech to present to the former ASB president and administration of the school was mandatory. Writing speeches have never been my cup of tea. I have always winged it, mixing my personality into the core of the message I was trying to deliver seemed to always work for me. I worked on the main points I was going to present, had a few lines that I knew I was going to follow but the rest I knew would come to me when the day came. It was the day for everyone running for office to have their presentation ready. Because I was running for the highest office that was available everyone who applied for a lower/ different position went first. Starting from the lowest office of being the freshman representation moving all the way up to the president. Because I was one of the last to present I had an advantage of
Speaking in front of a large crowd is one of the most fearful things to do for almost everyone. Only a handful of people are capable of keeping themselves absolutely calm and composed when addressing a large crowd. So if you are one of those people who tremble at the thought of standing on stage in front of a humongous crowd, with all eyes fixed on you, don’t worry, you’re not alone. But even though being a little shy when you’re in front of tons of people is very common, overcoming it by any means necessary is the most important thing to do while leaving a lasting impression on the people you are trying to impress. Be it debates, speeches, or even if you are hosting your firm’s next
I have always been nervous when speaking in groups even small groups. However, I learned that the more I practice the easier it will be to present in front of large crowds. I learned that by taking deep breathes during my speech I can slow down my pace when speaking. In addition, taking deep breathes helped slow down my heart rate which helped me avoid becoming nervous. I also learned that if I want to be heard I must speak louder. Also, I must speak with a stronger tone. By learning these methods, I have learned how to communicate with others
Throughout life we express ourselves through words. The way we present ourselves through speech says a lot about our character. The way one speaks to others can jeopardize the amount of respect and trust others have for them. From the way one pronounces a word to their posture can affect the way an audience interprets what is being said. Personally, I am not confident with my speaking skills at this point. I would like my audience to fully comprehend the concepts or facts that I would present to them. In order to do so I must improve my speaking skills I believe that a problem most people, including myself, have when giving speeches is facing an audience. Just looking out to an audience of a mere ten
Over the past couple of years I would say that I have a decent amount of experience with speeches and presentations, but not as much as I would like. Most of my experience had occurred during high school where I attended Kenston School District in Northeast Ohio. My high school was a place where public speaking was excessively pushed in order to prepare us for college and the real world. We would do your usual high school presentations such as book reports and research papers on multiple different topics. I would say one of my best presentations was my junior year when we had to do an informative speech on a famous person of our choosing. The person could either be fictional or non-fictional, then we had to dress up like them and act them out.
My communication skills have been a great asset to both my personal and work life. It has strengthened my ability to work in harmony with co-workers and in group settings. Although I communicate quite effectively I do find myself to be more quiet in large group settings and dislike public speaking. My recent position in community nursing required me to take on multiple roles as an educator and helped me work on my public speaking skills.
In public speaking of any form to a diverse group of individuals, my main consideration as the speaker is my concentration on the audience that I am speaking to. In starting an effective presentation,
I used to believe that I did not perform very well in groups. I am an observer who likes to learn alone. I thought I learned best when I worked on my own. Even though I always knew group work had many positive values, I was more comfortable with the lecture-based approach and resisted group work merely because it involved change, not because it had a collaborative learning approach. However, during the learning community project, I came to realize that I learn more effectively when I work in groups. Working in a group was like an adventure for me; there were both exciting and challenging times while preparing for the learning community project.
Comprehensive sexual education has many positive effects on the sexual health of young people. According to a study of forty-eight comprehensive sex education classes, done by Douglas Kirby, two-thirds of the programs had positive effects. These effects included "40 percent delayed sexual initiation, reduced the number of sexual partners, or increased condom or contraceptive use (Frohnapfel-Krueger)." This is compared to a study of absence only sexual education were 88% of participants
