Introduction

Hi everyone! My name is Elizabeth. I'm 22 years old. I am a pre-nursing student and I'm just trying to get my last few classes done before I can transfer. I'm very excited to get into a nursing program and take the last step to getting into my career. I have had a little public speaking experience just through school. From about the 4th grade on we began doing basic speeches in class. I usually do pretty average on speeches, but I've never been one to be very excited for them. I'm usually nervous beforehand, but I look at it as a necessary thing sometimes. My goal in this class is to gain confidence and eloquence while making speeches, but also in normal conversation. The public speaking fear I would like to conquer is to be able to get in front of people and be able to talk comfortably and conversationally instead of rushing through it out of nervousness. I hope everyone has a good time in the course and is able to overcome whatever public speaking fears they might have also.
