I Am About Hamilton An American Musical And Its Impact...

A quote by Barack Obama says, â€Å"If you’re walking down the right path and you’re willing to keep walking, eventually you will make progress.† This quote describes a lot of what I have gone through in this semester, particularly in this class. As a student in the School of Communication at Illinois State University, I felt the pressure to do well in my first communications class. However, with the help of my teacher, support and praise of fellow students, and my own hard work, I have made several improvements since the beginning of the semester such as verbal delivery, eye contact, and interpersonal communication skills. Verbal delivery was a skill I was hoping to improve on at the beginning of the semester as I mentioned in my†¦show more content†¦While practicing my first speech talking about Hamilton: An American Musical, I started writing in when to look up at my audience on my notecards. After a getting comfortable with that method, I began pract icing outside of class of appropriate times to look up from notecards without writing it down. After my second speech, the group speech regarding School Admissions and Affirmative Action, I felt I made great eye contact with my group members. But I began to realize that when I was supposed to look at the audience members, I was looking down at my notecards a lot of the time. For my third and final speech regarding how music is beneficial in public schools, I still wrote in when to look up at my audience on my notecards and when to move around the room. However, I also made a point to look at the people that I felt comfortable with in class. I felt like I also improved on my Interpersonal communications skills. Now, I did not have this skill as something to improve on but throughout the course of the semester, I have gotten better about understanding my classmate’s perspectives. For example, during the persuasive speech days, Pauly’s speech was on the gender pay gap. Ho wever, his stance was not necessarily the same as mine. I became to feel hostile but I knew that would prevent me from listening to his side unbiasedly. With keeping an open mind, I better understood his side of the argument.
