Once I got the First Sentence Out…

I thought that everyone did a good job on their speeches.  I think that everyone was pretty nervous before that got up there but once you get in front of the class you are pretty much trapped up there so you might as well act confident.

I was pretty nervous.  Well, at least I thought I was before I got up there.  I don’t think many people could tell I was but the thought of getting up there was really getting to me.  Once I got up there I just took a deep breath and went at it.  But unlike some of the people in the class my note cards said very little, and I hadn’t practiced what I was going to say out loud, only in my head.  So I think that is what made me the most nervous.  But I think that it helped me the most because I wasnt trying to remember what I was going to say and thinking about it the whole time.

I just focused on the crowd of people sitting in front of me.  Once I got the first sentence out I had all the information I needed in my head and it came to me as I was talking of how I formed each sentence.  It was kinda like I was just talking to a peer about tiredness not a whole group of people who I really don’t know a whole a lot about.

Looking forward to doing my next speech, hoping I can figure out something good to do it on, so that it was as good as this one.

Spiders Scare Me

Hello my name is Clinton McFarland, I’m 19 years old.  This is my second year at Southern State and this will be my final quarter.  I’m not sure at all what to write about, so I thought maybe ill just talk about myself.  I’ve lived in the same house my whole life, outside of Decatur on a 100 acre farm.  I’ve been farming my whole life, we have cattle, and we’ve had pigs, goats, chickens and horses.  I’m a self driving person, maybe not when it comes to school because you don’t see the fruits of your labor in the near future, but if there is something I won’t bad enough I will work my hardest to get it. I’m not scared of many things except for maybe spiders, them dang things may be small but scare me to death.  You don’t know where they might be, they can be anywhere.  I would say that my a outgoing person when I need to be, but at times I can be shy, and self kept.  I enjoy being outside and playing sports when I get the time.  I also enjoy watching sports, I think my T.V. only stays on ESPN most of the time.  Except for when my Girlfriend comes over, in which it gets changed to something stupid that no one ever wants to watch, like Teen mom or something.  But I’ve been with her going on 4 years so I’ve dealt with it for a long time.  And that’s about all there is to me. I work hard and when its my weekend off I play hard. And, if you haven’t noticed that why I’m missing half of my eyebrow.
