(First Draft of Lone wolf) I would like to become a better version of myself. How I want to become better with my personal self is to be able to not be stuck in my own head. This will help me in the world because I tend to have a two sided mind to everything I do. This includes all of my decisions on the football field and off the football field. When I am on the field I tend to second guess myself on which play is what and which way I have to go on what play. Off the field I tend to second guess a lot of my decisions even if they are good decisions.

I know I can’t be the only person who has thoughts like this. I have met people who have the same thoughts and it has really opened my mind to many different perspectives of thinking. This has opened my mind because it has shown me I am not the only one who has a mind that thinks like this.

I selected this topic because I think it will help show others who might struggle with the same issues I struggle with. Me picking this topic will possibly help me get out of my own mind and be able to think without the double mind thinking. I believe this will help me in the long run because I need to be able to get out of my own head because of the field of work I want to do when I graduate from college. Bettering my own personal self will lead to an overall better version of myself.

(Dry Dry Run) Best advice offered to me in class was that I needed to connect my speech more with the audience. The advice received about how and why I should connect my speech with my peers was made very clear and did help a lot. This helped me a lot because it was able to make my speech flow more smoothly and the revision process easier.

I thought this was the best advice for my speech because it helped me be able to make more scenes of my speech more. This also helped me because I will be able to try to make a better connection with the audience. This will help my speech sound better and sound more personalized.

The best advice I was able to offer to a classmate was to talk more about what they were struggling with on becoming a better version of their academic self. I was also able to offer advice to another classmate by telling them how to become a better version of their professional self and should be more connected to themself and not a general overview. In all this will help them be able to make their speeches better and stronger.

This is my best advice because I believe it will be very helpful advice. I believe this will help my fellow classmates because it will be able to help them have stronger speeches.

What is working for me after the dry dry run is that I have been able to strengthen multiple parts of my speech because of the peer review I received. The advice I received from the few classmates I worked with was very helpful because they were able to make what I struggled with clearly and explain to me what exactly I was missing. The advice I was able to give to my peers I believe will be very helpful because of how it was explained to them and how they should make it more personal and not a general overview. With the advice given and received I believe the dry dry run was very helpful to me at least because it was able to make my speech stronger and more clear. The advice I was given was to make more of a connection with the audience around me. It will be very helpful to my speech because it is important to have a connection with the audience.

After giving my speech to the whole class some of the best feedback I received was that I needed to be more loose in presenting because I was too tense and nervous. I do agree with this and this will help me because I was able to feel how tense I was. After watching the video of my speech I was able to see that I did not meet the time requirement and needed to add more details into my speech. I was told I had the audience engaged a good amount but I need to share more to have them entertained. What worked for me was the backstory I gave about my personal experience but I need to add more into the importance of why I want to better my personal self and if I am able to do that I will have a lot stronger of a speech and my speech will flow more smoothly. With my speech flowing smoothly after it is fixed I will hopefully be able to deliver it the best I can without being as nervous as I was the first time I delivered it.

(Final thoughts) My thoughts about this process was that it was long. The draft process helped me but it felt longer than it actually was. I liked the drafting process and how I was able to do two dry runs with peer review before doing my final speech. The peer review I was able to receive helped me create a stronger speech. The comments I received helped me realize things I wasn’t able to see myself. The video also helped me with the movements I made and how nervous I was standing there. This is going to help me approach future projects better because I now know what to expect and how my writing should be with my speeches.
