This is it!

This past Tuesday was my presentation for Senior Project. I was extremely nervous and I was stressed that whole day. My peers were trying to alleviate me, and they were just saying that I was going to do fine, and I wanted to believe them, but I was uncertain and it weighed heavily on my conscious. When it was 8^th pd, I took a quick restroom break and grabbed my cupcakes and soda, and headed to D103. (By the way I’m a better baker than Essence Money) I was nervous, but I was prepared. My presentation was descent, but I can’t help but to be dissatisfied with it. When I got home, I realized that I forgot to mention some important facts about Nike, and it came to me that I didn’t even mention how creating an International Dance Club was entrepreneurial, and it bothered me for so long, and I just wished I could have done it all over again. Although people have come to me and said that my presentation was either good or funny, I know what I did wrong and I can’t get over it. The perfectionism of my nature makes it difficult for me to be content with my presentation, and I feel as though I didn't live up to my own standards. I pride myself on the fact that I create top eschelon productions, and when I fail to satisfy my own criteria, I've fail myself.

If I could do it again, I would try to make my nervousness a little more inconspicuous. I would also get my words together before speaking because I have the tendency to stutter or temporarily have a lost of words. Also, I would try not to forget keys facts about topics in my presentation. Finally, my body movements could have been better. It was a nice experience, and hopefully I can take heed of my constructive criticism.

Senior Project presentation

On June 1, 2011 I will be performing my Senior Project presentation on entrepreneurship. I will have a PowerPoint to assist me, and make the content of my rhetoric more appealing. I will need to be confident and bombastic while I'm the center of attention. This is an opportunity to almost promote an idea just like a successful business leader and innovator. If I can conquer and excel at this area of public speaking, I know I can be successful in my desired field of study. I plan to put on a show, but I hope it's not strictly business. Hopefully I can show off a little of my humorous side, or there's a possibility that I won't be making any jokes. You never know, but what I do know is that I will present my topic to the best of my ability because, you know, I don't want to disappoint all my Shaqoholics.

Field Trip # 12

Yesterday I went to 30 Strikes for one of my final visits. I had to stand by for a while because my sponsor went somewhere to get some paraphanelia for his boat. When he arrived, I was ready to tell him about the process I've made for my presentation. I told him about the research that I've done, and he suggested that I elaborate on some of my pionts. He said that I shouldn't memorize big paragraphs of information, but I intend on memorizing as much as I can to assure that I present to the best of my ability. Also, I took a photo of him for my presentation and hopefully I can get some video. 

Mac & Shaq

Yesterday afternoon, I had a improv mentor meeting with Coach Mac. I talked about how my PowerPoint was turning out, and I exhibited a great deal of confidence about my presentation in a little over a week. I said that I have to get pictures of him and my sponsor for my PowerPoint, and that I have to get really familiar with it, so I won't have to depend on looking at it a lot during my presentation. After our talk about that, I printed out my brochure that I made, and he noticed that I spelled his first and last name wrong. I was permeated with embarrassment, and he explained the reason for the pronunciation for peoples' whose last name begin with the letters Mc. I enjoyed the meeting as always because not only do we get stuff done, we have fun in the process.

After another unsuccessful club meeting, I headed to 30 Strikes with an melancholic expression. When I arrived there. my sponsor was talking to a man who was giving him pointers on how to attract customers, and I found it ironic that I was having the same quagmire. They talked for about an hour and half about what they can do to improve the bowling alley. After the man left, my sponsor asked me how things were going, and I told him about my problem with the vacancies of my club meetings. He suggested that I make a sign up list. Also, he said that international dance was too broad, and that I should narrow it down. Hopefully, I can get it up and running with some clever propaganda.

Putting the word out.

Last week I reached an agreement with Ms. Mose to have my International Dance Club meeting on this Thursday,and I also asked her could she get Mr. Flick to put an announcement for it in the morning. The plan worked and all this week their has been brief announcements in the morning about the club. On this past Wednesday I took another approach and asked Ms. Mose could I make a short announce about the club meeting during the Hispanic culture club meeting, and she granted me the oppurtunity. I explained what the club was about in very little words, but I captivated the audience because they seemed interested in the idea. I really hope that some people show up because the club would be very useful to put in my presenation.

When I arrived at the bowling this past Friday, my sponsor had already left.( He's always forgeting about me) I decided to sit and observe during his absence. I noticed that the alley was nearly vacant besides from a few players that I'm assuming were a part of a league. After they left the place was vacant, so I understand why it can function without my sponsor.
