"Speaking" of which....

[team222badbrad]

Sounds like my upcoming speech topic too.

I have to figure out my persuasive speech too!

I am also not one for public speaking; I have done many speeches and in front of many important people, but I still become nervous anyway.

In no way though, am I more afraid of speaking in public than dying. Ok it maybe second on the list!

Practice makes Perfection; I guess... well maybe not in our case.

I am sure if you were to become Dean Kamen tomorrow; you would be able to learn very quickly how to talk to people in public!

Here is a link I just came across:

Just Google it up and you will find many different things to learn about besides the ones you already know!

My meteorology teacher once told me this story at the beginning of the semester:

I started out working for our local TV news station one day. While working at the station my job was not to forecast news live, it was just to predict and study the weather. One day the live weatherman had stepped out of the studio and had to make a quick trip home. He was supposed to be right back before he was to go live on the air. Well to make a long story short he did not make it back in time. My boss told me I had to go on air live and do the forecast for him. So I immediately told him I was not going to do it, but eventually he persuaded me to do it. I was very nervous and did not really know how I would act in front of the TV camera. Once my first live air forecast was over; I found out that the weatherman that was to do the forecast was just playing a joke on me. He never left the studio and was watching my forecast live laughing away!


My meteorology teacher is still working for the same local news station and he now does the live forecast daily!
