Giving speeches isn't the biggest deal to me.
It just always has given me that butterfly nervous feeling everytime I'm waiting for my turn.
I was in a position in High School that required me to give speeches occassionally.
And every day I had to talk to a room full of people.
So I got pretty used to it. Being prepared for it or not, I could still come up and give a speech. May not be organize, but at least I won't run out of things to say.

I've learned that no matter how many times I have to get up and give a presentation, or speak just for a 1 minute in front of group of people, I will always get the same feeling. The feeling of drunk butterflies flying all over the place in your stomach.
I would want to say that from this class, I want to get used to the feeling of having to go up and to give presentations, but obviously that's impossible for me.
So other than that, I want to get a better understanding of how to give presenatations more clearly and efficiently.

My goal for this class is to be able to pass and also learn more techniques and ways of giving a well speech.
There's always more room for improvement!

Hey Comm Class & Professor Perez :]
To start off, my name is Georgina Nguyen, but I prefer to be called Gina.
I am a Sophomore. I went to Oak Grove High School. I'm from the bay, San Jose to be exact.
This is actually my first time taking a course online. So all of this is pretty much new to me.
Should be exciting though. I'm looking foward to this class.
To be honest, I dislike giving presentations, but once I'm up there talking I go on and on.
I just anticipate my turn and it makes me super nervous.
I guess that's all for now.
Oh! I'm super friendly and love making new friends.
I made this blog a while back, but I had erased the 5 posts that I posted before. I didn't update very often.
Get to know me!

EDiT: So after readinig everybody else's introduction, I thought I should re-do mine. So you guys have my name down. I am 19 years old, and I am an only child. Born and raised in San Jose. I was actually living in L.A. for about a year. I am full Vietnamese, but I'm still struggling to read and write in my own language. I stuck around San Jose, because my mom wanted me near home for a few more years. I was waiting 18 years to break free, but nope. Just one look from her made me stay put in San Jose. So here I am, for maybe another 2 to 3 years. I own a sidekick LX, so therefore I am texting from the time I wake up until I am asleep. Even sometimes when I'm sleeping, if I hear a text, I'll manage to reply. I go shopping, but I'm not exactly a shopaholic. I mainly shop at two main stores Forever 21 & Papaya. Before graduating from High School, I loved to go out and chill all day and night. Home was just a place that I came back to to sleep. Now, it's been 2 years since my graduation and I've turned around a lot. I'm more of a home person. I like the comfort of my house, it's super quiet. I guess that's a little addition to my introduction. Enjoy!
