I Hate Public Speaking

Mrs. Sims’ public speaking video is perfect for describing how most people feel about …public speaking! You didn’t know you could cause an earthquake with how much you were shaking, or create a sea of sweat. You didn’t know that you left your brain at home, or that you packed it for lunch, or even ate it for breakfast. The whole point of the video was to throw in the idea that everyone has similar emotions when it comes to public speaking-fright, terror, fear, and nerves. It’s a new idea and concept. Most of us have only risen to the occasion when asked, not by choice.  I guarantee everyone can pick out three or more things that make them hate public speaking. Personally, I don’t like that people sit in silence and watch you. “It’s just like having a conversation.” No, no its not. A conversation requires communication with both people, not just the speaker.  We can learn from this because everyone receives similar emotions when speaking in public. Knowing that everyone does receive similar emotions helps me because I don’t feel weird or out of place feeling like that-to know its normal.
