In my future endeavors, I think I will feel more confident in my writing because I won't be afraid to share it as much. Speaking and writing are such completely different experiences; I can feel confident with what I've written, but I'll be too afraid to read it out loud, mostly because I was a lousy speaker. I'm going to be able to give impromptu speeches if need be because the extemporaneous style we've used will have given me the tools to do that. The profession I'm trying to go into doesn't require too much speaking, but just the daily, social interactions of life - that's what I'll use the lessons from this class for. I'll be more conscious of audience and citations. My friends like to debate a lot and so I think this class will help me prove my points.
