obama 2004 speech

Regardless of any ones political views. The one thing that I would have to say about Obama's speeches is that they flow out of that mans mouth like he could do that from birth. I had not heard this speech back in 2004 but it is a well spoken speech (saw it on youtube after I read it). The thing that i like about this speech was regardless of what your view is he made you feel as though he was talking to you or the speech was meant directly towards me. One day I hope to have that type of speech confidence.

8 competencies

I just wanted to point out that I keep going back to the week 3 handout on the Tips:working with the speech 8 competencies. It has great information in it. I am just hoping that I can remember it when I am scared to death doing my speech!

Crazy stuff

So.. while reading the chapters the thing that is still stuck in my mind is the fact we process as humans take a lot of our basic processes from granite. For instance when I listen to someone talk. I just assumed this is what happens. They talk and I hear. I never sat down and realized that we actually process a conversation the way that it says we do in the book. Like really who knew. [off subject] Even seeing. Prior to reading this chapter I just was like okay we see and that's it. I know that if you have a sight impairment you don't see as clearly as others but I never really realized that it too is a process.

I will like to take this moment out to say thank you to Kellie for taking the time out of her busy day for scanning the first 7 chapters or the book for me so I took can learn. lol I enjoyed even the extra copies of her hand. Thanks A lot.

Outlines

First I would like to inform everyone that I finally received my text book today {mental cartwheels} So I am doing my final version of the outline and I am looking at the example in the book. I would have to say that I still like the topic outline a lot better. I can understand more what the person is trying to tell me from this one then the full sentence outline. This type of structure is sort of "giving to much info". In a way I feel like I should right my speech then come back and put the correct roman numerals into each paragraph. Does anyone else feels this way or am I just not used to change.
