Speech & Learning reflection

Since the first couple weeks of class to now, I feel that my speech has gotten a little bit better and my posture/stance has improved immensely. I don’t say um or anything like that anymore which allows me to speak more fluid and clear. At the same time, I think I still need to work on talking a bit louder and slower. My stance has gotten a lot better as well. Before I would lean and sway but now I’m doing a better job of keeping my stance, being straight up and not moving. One thing that is very difficult is the writing part, not the content but the length. I don’t like expanding what I’m saying because it gets me and people I’m talking to off track or too caught up in one certain thing. I get straight to the point when I write and don’t like saying the same thing 100 different ways in order to make it longer. I think it is more important to have quality than quantity which is why i struggle coming close to the minimum words required. Overall I feel that I have improved a good amount and I am on pace to have very good speaking skills by the end of the next quarter.
