Current Events.

This weeks current event is not the usual current event like prior blogs. This blog entry will be about the "Kick Off Night" held on January 20, 2009. At first arriving I thought it was not going to be a success. Mostly everyone, their family, and the mentors showed up, but no sponsors. I thought to myself, what is the point of this if there are no sponsors, but I got more out of it then I thought. At the kick off event, every student had to stand and speech in front of everyone. I was completely scared and thought to myself, " I can't do this." When my name was called I stood up and just acted like my normal self and I got through it. It was not as bad as I amagined it would have been. It made me have a little more confidence for the next time I have to speech in public. This event also has gotten me ready to finally speak to my mentor. I was and still am a little scared to talk to my mentor face to face but people at this event made me feel less worried. Many people complimented my public speaking abilities and the way I present myself. therefore, I feel more comfortable in front of a crowd of people and people as indivudals.
