For my S3 presentation I felt very uneasy for the days leading up to Thursday. Throughout the whole weekend and on Monday I was concerned with nothing but Halloween so I didn’t really start working on my speech until Tuesday. I think this was my favorite speech so far because I was the most interested in this topic especially because the speech had to be addressing a certain decision making body of people. As I have mentioned before I am really interested in law and am hopefully on my way to become a lawyer. More that that I am interesting in politics as my major is political science. I think this is because during my senior year of high school I took a school trip to Boston with about 15 other girls from my school. In Boston we participated in a program called Harvard Model Congress. We were all appointed a House Representative or Senator and we had to act as them creating and voting laws in our separate individualized committees. I learned so much about the way the government is ran and it really helped me to visualize what we had learned in the government class. I used this experience in my speech and it helped me to formulate what to say so the class would understand who I was talking to. I think that this was the best speech i have done so far. I felt very confident even though I did forget to change my slide and also I did forget to say some important information but it was in my slide show so I feel like the class was able to read it off the slide and did not necessarily need me to say it. Overall I felt really good about my speech and I think that having my notecards helps me but looking back I didn’t really use them and I think that this shows how much I’ve improved and am now able to remember my speech for the most part.

Thanks, Ashley!
Ps, here’s what one other student said about your presentation:
“We talked a lot about Voice lately in class, I thought that someone who was clearly really prepared and gave her max to keep energized throughout her speech was Ashley. Her tone of voice was joyful from the beginning to the end and it definitely influenced the audience positively.”
