Week Nine

Once again Rick tried helping us be confident on our public speaking skills last Tuesday. Personally, I would prefer not to speak out loud to an audience, especially a presentation. Did you all know public speaking is actually second in terms of most common fears? Knowing this fact now actually relaxes me. Before we started our day in the office, Rick told Rohan and I that we were going to present our research projects without the aid of a power point in a coffee house. Lots of thoughts rushed in my head as I was worried what might happen if I messed up. To my relief, we were just going to present outside where it was relatively empty; it was the weekday so most were either at work or at school. When it was my turn to present, I was surprised by how much I improved: mumbling less (the wind blew occasionally so I had to raise my voice), standing straight, and had my thoughts organized.
