            When looking back at it, public speaking was a very interesting class. I learned a lot of stuff about public speaking, and also a lot about myself. I learned how to deliver a speech confidently, and this came with getting to know people in my class. I also learned how a debate is set up, and I think I became better at arguing by debating on the go with our random topic debates. I also think that I have grown in many ways because of this class. I have obviously grown in my ability to speak publicly, but I also grew in keeping my mouth shut when I disagreed with someone. I grew in my ability to use iMovie, and that is a skill I'm glad I've improved in. I also think that I improved my ability to not be fidgety when speaking. I swayed a lot more at the beginning of the semester, and that was one of my goals. So what could I have done better or more of? My first couple of speeches were not delivered very well, but I think i was just getting used to public speaking and was nervous for some reason. Other than that I can't really think of anything that I could have done more of. Going into this class my overall goal was to become more comfortable with public speaking, and I think I accomplished that goal.
