and the lies I tell myself leave me in a very negative place and if I continue with these
assumptions, I can never grow or get better at public speaking. There is definitely a ripple effect
when thinking in this way. If you think in a negative way there will be a better chance of a
negative outcome. However, there is another option, if you think in a positive way theres more
hope of a positive outcome. If I work on my fears and think in a more positive way about my
speeches, I believe that I could have a better impact on people. I wont have that fear of failure or
what other people think of me and because of that; I will be able to speak freely without those
fears. My new positive thought process excites me for the future of my public speaking. I hope
that one day I can influence our culture in a positive way. My hope for this speech class is to
conquer my many fears of public speaking and be able to talk without hearing the lies that I tell
myself. These are the hopes that I have, and I am determined to prevail!
