It was kinda weird after honestly watching my presentation for the first time but it was relieving at the same time. Being a naturally shy person speeches have gradually became my worst enemy, no matter how much I prepare it always seems if I just lock up. However, I don't feel I did no were near as bad as I thought I had.
Some things I feel I need to work on:
1. I need to practice keeping my speeches more fluent, rather than relying on my note card as you had mentioned...
2. I also need to flow better and work up on not freezing up
3. Also, I noticed that I used the word "like" a lot throughout the speech which
I was totally unaware of, so for the next speech I need to put that much more time into rehearsing before actually presenting...
But, being able to watch myself and judge myself was very beneficial and I feel like the next speech I should be able to do way better.
I feel I even got better throughout this speech because at first my voice was low and kinda muffled but as I progressed my voice level increased and I began to loosen up...And I am beginning to feel a little bit more at ease at presenting in front of people after this introductory speech!

Questions that I hate Answering
Being of African American descent, their are quite a few questions I get quite often that I hate replying too...
1. Can you dance? or some form of that question
I hate answering that question, because I can't dance and have little rhythm but yet some people feel it is expected for me to know how to dance....
2. Questions about my hair...such as, did you wake up like that? How do you get is so poofy? Can I feel it? Do you use a pick or something? Just quite a few questions I get on a regular basis, I mean its just hair, no different than any one else's HAIR.
These are just a couple o the questions that I hate answering on a daily basis. So, I guess the point of this blog is to help us realize that if you feel it is a question that the person you may interview is constantly asked, to just think twice before you ask a question. Because some people hate answer what they think has a common answer.
