For my speech, I made sure that I was
very prepared in what I wanted to say.  I made sure that I had a lot of
facts and answered all of the questions to the best of my abilities.  I
have had trouble talking in front of people for pretty much my whole life. 
Though I am getting better at it, I still talk really fast. I could tell during
my speech that my voice was kind of shaky.  I knew that I talk rather fast
also, but I did not realize how fast until I saw my speech video.  I thought that I explained how I wanted to
have the documentary structured but it may have caused my speech to sound like
just a lot of facts about service dogs. 
I feel like the more outgoing and comfortable around other people I get,
the easier it will be for me to talk better and slower.  I am glad that even though I had a note card,
I did not read directly from it and lose eye contact with my audience.  I usually just have it with me in case I lose
my train of thought and do not just stand up there with nothing to say.  I also saw that when I try to remember what I
want to say, I look up at the ceiling.  I
try not to stand still too much, but I realize that I was too nervous to move
from where I was standing.
