I felt like my introduction could have used some work because I started off by just saying my name and getting right to my items. I felt like my conclusion was well organized. I was talking about my future item and once I was finished with that I said, “I have lived a very blessed 22 years and I am excited to see what the future holds, Thank you”. I will continue to work on my conclusions and make them better for my next two speeches. I provided good evidence and...
