Introduction
My name is Diego Sisquella and I was born the 26 th of May on 2006, I am
currently 13 years old. I have a lot of hobbies like, gaming, soccer,
basketball and boxing. Apart from that I am a good student in mainly math
and science. Distance learning has been worse than what I thought
actually, it has been very hard in the part of socializing because I am a very
social person and this makes it so hard. The public speaking unit has been
great and I have liked it as a unit. In this portfolio you can find my speeches,
my meme and much more.

lot. His name is Pupiri or as we called him Pipi. We called him
Pipi because when we peated him with a brush he would make

PUBLIC SPEAKING PROJECT REFLECTION: Use the following guiding
questions to write a 250 words composition reflecting on your
speech performance

What can you do better in the future when speaking formally for an audience?
What didn’t go according to plan?
What would you differently in the future?
How did you feel after performing your speech?
Were you supportive when others presented?
What have you learned?
What did you like from this project?

I think that my speech was average, it wasn’t the best or it didn’t stand out. I was
emotional during the whole speech because I was tributing my cat that passed away. I
started stuttering in a moment because of trying to hold the emotions. After performing it
I realized I let my emotions go away and that was something not that good. I liked that I
was able to share with everyone about my cat and how wonderful he was. When others
presented, I was being silent and aware of every detail of their speech because we
needed to evaluate some criteria. I was muted and with my camera on listening very
carefully. And the thing that I liked the most was when the other people put effort and
you realize it when they present it.

For the future I will control myself with my emotions and I will learn my speech better, so
I don’t stud in any part of the speech. Also, I think that in the first time I didn’t learn the
speech at a perfect grade, because I wasn’t fluent enough. I will learn it word by word
for the next time so I can give the best presentation possible. From this I learned that
public speaking is kind of easy, but it also requires a good organization and a very good
dedication on getting to learn your speech and use props. In my case, I didn’t use
props, that was an error. Next time I'm doing it I will use props for the speech.
