February 1st- February 8th
This past week Mr. Wysong uploaded the link for the available time slots for our speeches. I plan to give my 20 minute speech on Wednesday, February 11th. Over the weekend, I spent a lot of time practicing my speech. There are over 20 slides and a total of 8 different subjects. The subject I spend the most time on is my original work. The percentages for our speech should be 50% about original work, 25% about experiences, and the last 25% should be a composition of the introduction, conclusion, and my smart goals. At first when Mr. Wysong told us we had to share with the class our smart goals, I was really uncomfortable with the idea because they are personal. I decided to change my goals a little bit to fit in the presentation scheme.
This past weekend I also brainstormed Final Product ideas. I want to do something that could better my field of study. Maybe an organized day teaching elementary school children about physical therapy. Maybe I could create a cool piece of equipment. Or maybe I could use the Nike research lab located in the Michael Johnson Performance Center to analyze professional athletes while they run and jump. I am still in the brainstorming phase, but I know I need to kick it into gear.
