Not including me, there are 6 people in the guitar club, two females and the rest consist of males. Initially, I didn't join the club make friends not to mention I like being myself. Because of their persistent ways to befriend me, I eventually cave in. I've grown quite fond of them, such a pity we all will be graduating this year. Bittersweet By the time I sat beside Danny, shortly after placing my guitar case in front of me, Anne then resumed talking about Open Mic Night. She explained the rules like the five-minute performance limit, no cussing, and for the females to revealing …show more content…
"Thanks, but that last part doesn't even make the least bit of sense but I do have a clue what you're saying" "You're welcome" I started to ran my fingers across the strings of my guitar, with Open Mic Night just tommorrow I beyond nervous. Mainly because our performance is going on the school's website for everyone to see, by everyone I meant everyone. Come to think of it, I need to buy an outfit along with some shoes, I hope my mom will allow me to purchase this stuff. I already have an idea of what I'm gonna wear, as far as music wise l had the chords remembered. Eventually I left the room, followed by Danny after being in there for about two hours I decided to head hom while Anne and Nick stayed behind to dicuss some things. Whether or not they're dating makes no difference to me, after all they do look great together. "I'll see you tommorrow buddy" Danny said, brushing his hand through my hair.

“Shannon! Let's go! The after party begins in 15 minutes!” shouted Shannon's friend Blake Anderson.
So the next year when I was given a board member position I focused solely on volunteering for Friends 4 Hope. Every Thursday was my favorite day of the week, since there were Game Days where we can play games with a small group of Hope students. Soon after these students slowly began to become my friends. To me I was finally glad to be comfortable around my new friends, but to them it meant a lot more. They never were fully accepted into society as regular people, and our club was able to encourage integration of that.
The monologues presented in Juvie Talk, a book by Richard Ross, clearly suggest the complex yet problematic situation of American youth incarceration. Anecdotal monologues and the language of juveniles grant readers insights into the life they are experiencing, highlighting the gap between the basic human rights and juvenile justice. As a young adult, I deeply link my own psychological growth and experience to the certain struggles these youths have been through.
For six years, I was stuck with the same thirty people for every class. Occasionally, a new kid would come but there was always a solid group of
I grit my teeth. "And I'm aware that you've been studying the brain anatomy and serums for most of your life giving up a social life and you still don't know how Tris and I work"
Patroclus blankly stared, coming to terms with what he had just heard. "I think I understand now." He said at last, a grin slowly finding its way to his face.
Meanwhile, my voice inevitably shook in rhythm with the music. I was filled from head to toe with terror, but pushed through it. Why did I agree to do the Christmas show in the first place? I knew I didn’t like talking in front of large groups, so what made me think singing and playing guitar would be fine? Nothing. I was pressured into doing it. “It will be fun!” my neighbor, teacher, and friend Tim said, “Your family will love it!” He was right about the second part, but at least for me, it was far from
I slowly open the big wooden door, not knowing what was about to happen. My first day of show choir, I have a mixture of excitement and nerves bubbling in my stomach. I walk into the room and a wave of chatter hits me. My nerves rise as I look around at all the girls that already know each other. I start to doubt my ability to make friends when I feel like such an outsider. Flash forward three years it the first day of show choir my senior year. Now I’m one of the people talking and catching up with everyone. Some of my best friends are in from this program, I can’t believe I ever felt like an outsider in what now is my second family. Show choir has had a large impact in my life teaching me confidence, leadership, and responsibility. At the start of my first year of show choir I was hesitant to perform in
I have had some experiences with public speaking when I was in high school. I had many presentations in English class. My English teacher would make us recite poem, plays, and speeches in class. I was always nervous while speaking in front of the class because I always thought I would forget what I was saying. Speaking in a group was not as bad as doing it alone. In a group I was able to work with others and it felt like a class discussion with me standing up. However, when I was by myself I was always nervous because all eyes were on me.
My public speaking class has already enhanced my knowledge and my ability to give speeches greatly. I know that with time and experience in public speaking, I will become a more skilled and professional public speaker. I will be sharing my first thoughts about my public speaking class, my strengths and weaknesses as a speaker, the speech I am most proud of so far, the speech that was the most difficult so far, and areas I know I need to improve on in order to be a skilled public speaker. Although I have had previous engagements with public speaking in high and middle school, none can be compared to the nervousness I felt about speaking in college level classes.
In public speaking I learned many types of concepts, theories and terms of communication. In concepts of publicly speaking there’s, relaxation, practice, credibility, attention getters, attire, organization, volume, emotion, audience relation, and movement. In my first speech, “The any old bag speech” I quickly learned the do’s, don’ts and concepts of my speech performance.

So, it is important to make sure you are confident in your abilities. There has been an ample supply of research that has shown ways to improve public speaking abilities.
Self-awareness is not about reading a book or attending a course. Self-awareness is a journey, and it takes practice. It’s like a muscle that becomes more effective with time and effort. It gives us mental strength as opposed to physical strength. We are constantly changing and adapting to the multiple external forces around us and to our individual experiences.
