Overview Public speaking is a large part of any young adult’s or professional’s life. It is said that if you can’t express your ideas in an understandable and complete way, that you might as well have not thought of them at all.

To have nuanced and intelligent conversations, you need to be confident enough that anxiety does not get in the way of your ability to convey your thoughts. Being a collected

stories are just that, stories. Growing up, whenever I read origin stories or myths, they seemed extremely unrealistic and I always questioned whether they were actually true or just make belief. As I became older, I began to develop a better understanding of things, and when I reread those stories, I realized that there was a much bigger picture behind every story.

How do you prepare yourself when a speech does not go the way you are use to it going and a meeting is called without early notice? There is no time to rehearse it, let alone write it out. When you read your speech word by word does it take skills to make the voice sound good? I am a note taker; therefore, can having to many notes be a bad thing when you are on stage giving a speech?

Junior year was a true test of my determination, skills, and perseverance. I faced some of the most common educational challenges students face such as the fear of not being able to pursue my interests because of not being good at it and worrying about how I compared to others. I decided to take AP Physics 1, brushing off warnings of how difficult it was. I wasn’t going to be intimidated, but rather take this challenge. However, I underestimated how difficult the class would actually be. When the

Teaching reflection 1. Summarize what you taught and what strategies you used. I have had the experience to teach the class four times during the semester and each of them has helped me to learn a lot. Dr. Walenciak has been traveling a lot so I have been in charge of the class those times. The first time, I was terrified the day before of the class. I needed to talk about the chapter of Ostrander’s book that talks about the history of Christian education. I prepared myself a lot and the day of

After taking an advanced English class at my school, I improved my writing skills, but I felt an absence in my abilities. I knew my writing was still not acceptable; I knew that numerous aspects of my writing needed to be improved. Through this realization, I decided to journey outside of my comfort zone and enroll in English Composition I. Quickly, I was met with obvious obstacles, which demonstrated the true lack of writing skill I possessed. I was not able to develop a proper thesis and did

Reflective Final Taking my first general psychology has been very interesting. I am ending the semester with a lot of newly acquired knowledge about how and why our brain works the way it does. I have chosen three out of many of the things I have learned and reflected on them deeply in this paper. First, I will be talking about Social Categorization, which has changed my views on how I generally perceive people. Secondly, I will discuss Stereotype vulnerability, which has brought me to the realisation
