Speakers Forum Reflection

1. Why did you choose your piece, and are you happy with your selection? 
I chose my piece because although it wasn't super funny or super sad, I liked the narrator and I thought that I would be successful in depicting her attitude and tone (Southern, Sassy). I also love the book and I thought the first chapter had a range of dialogue. 
2. What are you most proud of throughout this whole process? 
Before speaker's forum, I had never told a story to an audience and I was a little worried that my final presentation would differ from my practicing just because it was in front of a whole entire class on a podium. Fortunately, I was proud that I stayed consistent throughout the entire reading in my volume and southern narration. 
3. Looking back to day one, what would you have done differently? 
Looking back to day one, I think one thing I could have done differently in terms of choosing a piece is being more open minded and willing to read short stories or excerpts that I wouldn't necessarily think of reading initially. I also think that I could have better planned my pauses within the story to emphasize a line or scene.
