DECA

During my second semester of my senior year we had to come up with a couple of speeches and one of them had to be an informative speech. I was very involved with my DECA program and loved to share what it was all about and my experiences. After watching all these dull speeches I wanted to make sure mine was interesting. I made a poster that wasn't just filled with bullet point and columns. I made it very eye appealing that drew every ones attention, it made a great focal point. When I stood up there I was excited about being up there and tried to create an energy to get people interested.
While speaking, I didn't talk to them, I talked with them. I asked many questions since no one really knew what exactly DECA was and the involvement we had in the school. I was having a conversation with the entire class but still getting my information out there and known. Having an engaged audience made it much easier to stand up there and give a speech. You didn't feel boring or dull, you wanted to keep the energy up and have them learn as much information. I learned that when you get ideas flowing with your audience then they can help you become a better presenter.
