This week in ISM has been very, very busy. I don’t think I have had a second to just stop and breathe! This week, I went on a mentor visit, wrote a mentor visit assessment, planned out my speech, and gave my speech all in the span of seven days! It was quite a process and for a little while there, I didn’t think I was going to be able to get it all done, but I persevered as I always do and managed to pull it all off. I focused really hard on making improvements on this reflection speech based off of the feedback I got from my peers and Coach Goff after my original work speech. Unsurprisingly, I had a problem with filler words and speaking way too fast because I am very passionate about my topic and when I get excited, my speech speeds up and I start to stutter. But this time, I put genuine effort during my presentation into speaking slower and using less filler words. I liked this speech much more than my last one, mostly because during this one I got to talk about my mentor visits and experiences, which it is no secret that I love them. I had a very productive (albeit stressful) week in ISM.
