I enjoyed doing this speech. I took me a long time brainstorming a topic that I could use to reflect how I am unique. As many of the students may have felt, we don’t see ourselves as unique, me personally just ordinary. I came up with using shoes to reflect me. I tied how family, sports, and individuality all reflect me through my shoes. I felt my speech was strong and creative but my presentation was on the weak side. I read from my note cards to much and my nerves got the best of me. I’m sure when the next speech rolls around ill definitely a be more comfortable, considering I’ve spoke in front of this particular crowd of people before and I’m more aware of how to give an effective extemporaneous speech.
