Publix speaking

hello my name is Li Edwards this is for um my public speaking course the prompt is Conquering the stage so when I was younger I'd always be the first to talk to somebody I didn't really have much trouble with public speaking but as Co hit I kind of isolated myself from everybody and developed a nervousness whenever I like stage fright I suppose but I've slowly been getting better um my first experience that I really like you know um knew that I was like okay public speaking I'm kind of scared what's my English class when I was taking dual enrollment it was English composition one and my professor had us uh share our experiences with the class and we had a time period to do it in and I was stuttering cuz I was so nervous and my heart was kind of racing and I was just like very anxious especially when it was almost my turn because we all had ass signed turns I just wanted to get it over with but um I started practicing some strategies to overcome my public speaking anxiousness um and some of the strategies were practicing practicing practicing practicing helps and um um Imagination just try to imagine people in their most embarrassing forms or you know situations so you could be less embarrassed um so I have seen some improvements because I think i' I got a little better at getting my point across instead of stuttering stuttering stuttering because I do work at public so I always have to speak to people even if I don't want to so I've definitely gotten better with that it's like I'm returning back to my old self my social be um yeah um so some improvements that I can make are maintaining eye contact cuz my my eyes end up looking elsewhere besides the person and I kind of really need to like make the right facial expressions I need to know what facial expressions I'm making because sometimes I end up like that to people and I don't mean to it's just the haveit so I kind of need to work on that some things I could see my like aspirations for improving public speaking skills um I would like to get my point across smoothly and directly and not make people you know question what I'm saying because sometimes I CU I usually do that because I either say too much or too little and some specific goals are to not stutter and to maintain eye contact and just be an overall good public speaker that concludes my assignment or my presentation thank you
