Speech Reflection

Intern met with resident K. Brown for the purpose of addressing her personal concerns and speaking with her about her community service hours. Kiara informed me that she completed her community service hours for the previous week. Intern asked her to verify the days she completes CS hours, and she stated Sundays and Wednesdays. Resident did express her frustrations by saying that she used to mess up with her CS hours, but she is really trying to do better. Intern advised her that another resident completes hers during that time, so she will have to do CS hours on Mondays and Thursdays or Mondays and Fridays. Intern also explained to her the importance of doing CS hours. It was explained that not only is this a requirement of the program,

These internships gave me valued experience on how to best communicate with those incorporated in my patients’ lives, and I would love to use those skills at Cary Speech Services. I am confident that my experience working with students while communicating with parents would make me an asset to Cary Speech Services. The job listing on your site says that it will require me to work diligently with supervisors, teachers, and parents. I strongly feel that communication between school, staff and parents is the key to emerging student skills.

What would you do if there were two of you? Could you clean your house faster or do tasks at home as well as going to work to pay the bills? Would your clone be able to fill in for you on days when you are sick? While this reality would be nice, it is not realistic and does not represent how cloning actually works. Cloning today works on a much smaller scale, and can be both natural and artificial. For some Plants, Fungi, and Bacteria, it is how they reproduce asexually. The term clone was originally coined by a British-Indian Scientist, J.B.S. Haldane. The term came from the ancient Greek word for a twig because of the way a tree was able to reproduce itself from just a twig. In 1996, a particularly famous first attempt to clone a Mammal was

Initially, when I first registered to enroll for this online Speech class, I did not know what to expect. I thought that we would only meet in order to present the required speeches and then I thought that we would have a virtual classroom to give speeches were we were all online at once. Now I know that both of my guesses were wrong. For our speeches, we either record them online and invite classmates as audience members to watch, or have a live audience of family and/or friends that record you giving your speech in your living room or somewhere similar. When I found out that these were the ways I would be giving my speeches, I was so surprised. When I am speaking in front of a live audience in a classroom, I get so nervous, so I thought that this method of giving presentations might be less anxious for me.

The experience that I would like to reflect on this paper is that of Mr. Gregoris’ class participation in “witness talks”. We were each tasked in both the writing and the communication of our differing faith walks to the whole class. The objective of the activity was for each student to make their full introduction into the class, as well as open up about experiences and deep physiological challenges that they may have encountered in their lifetime. The ambience of the room during the witness talks is an interesting talking point, the room was dim, bordering on completely dark, however still had a quite calming feeling attached to it, reminiscent of being at home during a thunderstorm reading a good book. I went first and I wasn’t mentally prepared to go on the day, but nobody else was willing to go, so I decided to take the plunge. Subsequently following my actual talk, we also had to play music, to help us reflect on what we just heard, I didn’t have a song prepared or anything, so I just picked a random one, ironically it just had to be a song I was looking for, for a long time. Others went and shared their experiences and feelings, though I will not forget a few stories and I may never be able to unhear some others. At the end of the day, this was a congress of people connecting on an intimate level greater than what I would see from my own family. I saw the witness talks as a celebration of individuality and difference, especially in a world that sees humans as digits, stats and worst of all money. If even lifeless instruments, such as the flute or the harp, do not give distinct notes, how will anyone know what is played? (1 Corinthians 14:7).

I decided to enroll myself in this course in hopes of improving my public speaking skills, which in turn, would greatly assist me in reaching both my educational and professional skills. As my first fall quarter at UC Davis is coming to an end, I can confidently say that this course has undoubtedly helped me to improve my public speaking skills and has also allowed me to develop as an individual. In addition, I have learned invaluable information that I will be carrying with me for the rest of my academic career.

It 's often effective to begin your narrative with a paragraph that introduces the experience and

Reflection is considered as a vital element of professional practice as it precedes to insight and then subsequent change in practice. The hypothesis of reflection is not new as it can be tracked as far back in the 5th century by the influential Greek philosopher, Socrates and to the 1930s primarily focusing on John Dewey’s work. Dewey is one of the founders of learning from experience. He theorised reflection as ‘active, persistent and careful consideration’ (Dewey, 1933) initiated by a specific situation which was opposing, perplexing or uncertain. One of its most common use today is coming up with a thought, an idea, or opinion made or an observation made as a result of concentration, suggesting in essence a way of thinking in which one looks back and meditate upon (Agnes, 2004).

As speech day approached I hadn’t really given it much thought. I had been very busy that week and my first speech was the last thing on my mind. The day before I was to give my speech I realized it was the next day, I thought I would be more anxious about it than I was. I’ve always enjoyed public speaking in a weird way. Having run for student senate the past two years, I had to make speeches in front of my entire class. The rush of public speaking makes me feel good, it pushes me out of my comfort zone and I love doing that. Any class I can take with real life application is the best in my opinion. I enjoy knowing concretely that this will help me out in the real world once I get a job.

When looking yourself speaking, it can be a scary thing to witness. A sense of embarrassment or pride will billow up inside. When analyzing my speech from the recording, I looked at my organizational strengths, vocal delivery, and nonverbal communication.

During my seven-year Air Force career, I have had a great number of supervisors. Most were not good and some of the more recent ones have been great. But there has been one that has stood out the most amongst the 13. He has made the most personal and professional impact on my life. His name is Jeffrey but prefers to be called Jeff.

I will be honest, the first class of COMM 1000 scared me, especially when Professor McCain began to list the numerous and lengthy speeches we would be presenting throughout the quarter. It was not even the public-speaking portion that scared me, rather it was the numerous time limits, use of only speaking notes, and short amount of time in between the speeches. However, I ended up making it through the quarter, especially with a high grade.

Now that day two speakers have finished their speeches, I have considered the feedback given about my speech and compared it to other speakers in the class. I reviewed in my head what I did wrong and went back in my mind to remember those speakers who I believed did better than me in the categories I scored low in. We learn from each other’s strengths as well as our mistakes.
