After Presentation Shock

I could not believe the grade I received, I guess I did better than I thought. Next time i will have my note cards organized better, and will practice my speech more before hand, so I feel better prepared. I believe I can improve on the way my mind is set while giving my speech, and try not to get embarrassed when I have tiny mess ups.

The Count Down Before My Moment

         During my presentation i was extremely nervous because, I was not sure if my presentation was as good as the ones before me. However, I decided when i finally got up to the podium not to worry about anything and just try my hardest to deliver my speech the best i could. The note cards that were loud was a big help, i was able to keep my speech in order, and when i did get lost i had a organized plan right in front of me. I did have to add more detail into my speech to make it a bit longer than i had originally planned. At a couple places in my speech i felt i had messed up, this made me blush, making me even more nervous, lose my place a bit, and start speaking faster. At the end of my speech I thought my performance had been horrible.

Before the Presentation Jitters

        Before the actual presentation, I felt nervous, I repeatedly wrote out my speech in hand writing and typing it out on the computer. Although the speech is about me, I am nervous about getting my point across in a way that people understand and in the way the "right way" meaning that the right transitions are used and my essay flows together correctly. I also took a while filling out my index cards, I tried not to right my whole speech, but had a hard time, because although I know the information I want to use the correct transitions to follow through completely. I know I have everything ready for tomorrow, all the things I will need, but I still do not feel completely prepared. I think doing my speech in front of someone might help, but there is not anyone here who can give me the kind of comments I would like, so I guess I will just have to wait and see how to more goes.
