I really enjoyed doing these projects it gives you the oppurtunity to sit back and evaluate your own personality and your wants and needs. I am not really big on giving oral presentations I am more of a 1 on 1 type of person but it does help me to get use to speaking in front of people. I really enjoy these type of projects.
I feel everything went pretty well, its been quite a while since ive had to present anything, So it was a little wierd to have all eyes on me. I felt it was nice to share a little bit about myself as well as learn a little about the others in the class.
For me, it took awhile to come up with my thought process for this project, and the reason being is my big word, PROCRASTINATION! I actually didn't put anything down on paper until this weekend, when my family and I went to the beach. I sat back and just pounded out some of my thoughts. In writing it, and then reading it in class, I realized how fragmented my project was, especially after listening to some of the other projects being read. I felt that, even though it may have sounded good, I had some gaps in my work. Everyone did a very good job for those who I heard today, and there was a lot of information put out, not only aboiut the people who've read, but also stuff I can use for my own knowlegde.
To DMC--now that you have had a recent experience with procrastination, just start earlier on the next assignment or project. one step at a time. Just get started...
I enjoyed this project. It's one of those that I was able to express a little about myself to others. I am somewhat of a closed person and don't talk about to much with just anyone. Not that I keep my feelings bottled up or anything but with the way my life begun I hate the sympathy thing form other people. I don't mind people getting to know me but there is a level that I don't go beyond unless we are just that close.
My individual project presentation went really well. I really wanted to have music playing with the power point, but it actually worked well without it. Everyone complimented my layout and I even made everyone laugh a time or two, so that was cool to me. I focused primarily on my personal life, over my business objective, though I did mention some of my future goals, like getting my BS and owning my own business one day soon. I felt prepared and that may be relaxed and comfortable with presenting my project without reading it word for word. I look forward to doing similar presentations in my next classes at ECPI.
The writing process for my individual project was more difficult for me than writing the things I normally write. While I'm rather comfortable writing what I feel, the compelled creativity was an uneasy process for me. I think that if the project had been about something other than ME, I would have been more open to it. At first I started writing my project on the computer, but there is just something about writing on the computer that stifles my voice. So, I took my pad of paper and pencil outside and sat in my garden for a while and within an hour I had nine pages worth of material for just the success and professionalism sections. I guess I simply needed to find my comfort zone to jumpstart the writing process.
My oral presentation was much the same. I stewed over the weekend about how and what to present and succeeded in doing nothing more than working myself into a nervous frenzy. However, once I jumped headlong into the presentation and let it flow into the parts of the project that I was more comfortable with than others, it went quite well. Granted, I was still nervous, but I managed to somehow find my voice while talking about some of the things I'm most passionate about.
Overall, I think the project turned out to be a success for me, and I'm glad that I've gotten the first of what I'm sure will be many such presentations out of the way. The first time doing anything--even if it's just doing something that you've done before in a new setting--is always nerve-wracking. I'm certain that this project has set the foundation for me to build on presentation skills and that the presentations I have to make in the future will be a bit less intimidating because I've found a few things that really work for me and know more about what will hold me back.
My presentation was great i was very nervous when i got up and did the actual presentation. When i sat down to write my paper i wrote three different papers before deciding on what to actually put on paper. it gave me a chance to reevaluate my life and get back on track.
I thought my written and oral presentation went really well. Although I got a little choked up when I started talking about my family; but my family is very dear to my heart. At first I didn't know where to start, there was so much I had to say. Overall I think I hit some major points in my life and what I wanted to accomplish in the future. I gave the class some idea of who I am as a person.
I think everything went as well as it could have. I was kind of scared since I really don't like speaking in front of people but, the class was very supportive. I also think that projects like this are very nice because it helps to better understand people and who they are.
I enjoyed giving my presentation. I was a little nervous since I have been out of class for pretty much the whole class, but I was surprisingly calm. I also enjoyed listening to todays presentaions. I hope that I didnt bore people to much with my shoe fetish.
I liked the way my individual project went over. I took my time and allowed a different side of my self I dont usually allow people to see. I think it was good as a stress reliever as well because I felt good after sitting down from my project. There is alot to learn when doing these type of projects about everyone. I am glad I was apart of this class and I saw alot common things that other people had.
Eventhough it took a while to get my project presentation done it was fun. I like standing in front of a group of people and making them laugh. As far as the writing part thta was a little crazy just you know tryin to evaluate yourself which hasnt happened in a long time or ever so that was a bit of a challenge.
I finally got my project in and over with. it was a relief. now i am glad the nightmare is over. all jokes aside it was nice to learn about my fellow classmates.

I think that my individual project went well. I was a little nervous getting infront of the class but once I started telling them about me and my life it all eased. I think me going up there and telling them about me was much harder than if it were a different subject. I am glad I did it though it brought me back to the time a had a public speaking class. Everyone seemed to be intrested and enjoyed my presentation.
Well I'm just glad it's over. I never like having to write about myself. It went well, a few people had some questions, just glad I didn't have to go into really any depth about my childhood. I don't really have much else to say than just glad it's over.
