This class was really loaded with useful information, especially our textbook; I really liked it. I've mentioned this in a previous post, but the outlines to speeches really did wonders for me so I'll definitely be applying those in the future. Before I continue on and forget though, congrats to everyone on getting through the class and thanks to Carol for being a cool professor!
Besides a lot of the how-to-prepare-a-speech tips from class and our textbook, I think I'll remember not to procrastinate on assignments, especially oral presentations. I don't know if anyone else was in a similar predicament, but it can be very stressful trying to prepare a speech in like four or five days (at least for me). I don't like stress in general so I'll try to remember what it was like rushing through the creation of a speech. Procrastinating on papers and tangible projects is one thing, but speeches are totally different because you have to practice! The rehearsing of the speech is probably one of the most important things too. Anyway, those are the things I'll take from this class into my future endeavors.

Week 15: Discussion Question 2
My favorite speech that I've done for this class was probably the tribute speech, followed by the informative one. I favor doing the tribute speech though because I really had a great time giving tribute to someone who has made an impact on my life, my grandmother. It was also very enjoyable hearing the rest of the class share about someone they admired and/or looked up to.
Being able to reflect on how I have been changed by somebody else was really cool and, I think, beneficial. It's good to realize that other people are having a positive influence on you, even if you don't see them often or something, but just knowing that in some way, shape or form they have made you a better person; that at least something about them makes you want to do better in certain area of life whether it be to become more like them in a certain characteristic or just being inspired by them.
