This past week in class we had to write speeches to our state legislature for our company representative to give. This was a very interesting and difficult assignment. I have taken a public speaking class before, but all of our speeches were informative or persuasive and we got to choose the topic. This made it easier to write because I could choose anything I wanted that I had prior knowledge or interest in.
This assignment made me realize the different types of speeches that are out there. I'm never going to have to give a speech on any of the subjects I did them on in speech class. It was just practice on writing and giving speeches. Now I realize that I might have to write a speech like the one we wrote in class one day. I had to know all the information about our company, be able to persuade the legislatures that we needed state funding and do it in an interesting way that they could pay attention to.
This assignment was very difficult and I definitely think it's something I could work on a little more. Especially having to give it in front of the class. I always get nervous talking in front of class rooms (where I get graded). If I practice a little more I can become more confident in it.
