Dear Sophomores,

Does anyone have any suggestions for public speaking?  What has helped you to communicate effectively?  Do you have any advice for overcoming stage fright? Do you have any experiences that you want to share?  What happens if I loose my place?  What if no one laughs at my jokes?  What if they laugh when I am not making a joke? What if I misspeak? What if I totally blank out?

This is where I want to hear from you.  I want your advice.  I want to hear about what worked, and what didn't.  Remember, your experiences can really help others, so lets hear them!
- Mrs. Vanderwarker

I believe as we as a class continue to gain more experience with public speaking, it will open up a world of opportunities for us to grow with each other as the people God intended us to be - loving, caring Christians who want to minister to people with our words. I can tell that this will be a very constructive, useful course that will give us hands on training and that will equip us for life beyond high school. I'm excited to see what's in store!
