  1. I wanted to thank Lily specifically, not only because she has been a super supportive and helpful partner but also because she has worked really hard to get the advertisement we are using in our project. She had the idea to reach out to her specific professor and while we have all been really busy these past few weeks, she has gone out of her way to meet with him and create content for them to discuss in this ad. I just feel like she has shown a high level of commitment to helping our group and the project; she goes above and beyond to help create a powerful project that not only meets the criteria but also make something that is entertaining and engaging for any audience. She has been a great partner and classmate to work with these past few weeks and throughout the entire semester, I am really thankful for her work and commitment.

  2. I want to start off by thanking both of my group partners, Kiera and Mariyalee. They both did such amazing jobs doing their part of the project and coming up with really great ideas. Working with both of them definitely made this project a lot easier because we didn’t but heads together. I want to thank Kiera for being on top of all the props we needed and making sure we recorded well and had good even quality volume. I want to thank Mariyalee for being so patient and coming up with some clutch ideas that took our project to the next level we needed. Working with them the past few weeks has made this project so much and not stressful at all. I also want to thank them both for just being so easy to work with. Once we heard the prompt we knew exactly what we wanted to do and who was going to be what part and I’m so thankful they made that so easy. I’m also really proud of my group for making time to work on this project and meet up to work together. The project wouldn’t be the same without them and I am so grateful for them and all the work they put in.

  3. I want to start off by thanking Frankie, she always comes in with a smile and positive attitude. She is always participating in giving feedback that is constructive and helpful. While working with her on the group project she has been active in putting ideas forward and problem solving with things don’t quiet workout. She has also been a big help with the interview part of our SPEECH 4 getting in touch with Emily Estell the head of the Nutrition program. Frankie is always thinking of ways to add some comedic relief when things are getting too serious. So thank you Frankie for the laughs. I also want to thank Brady D who has also been a huge help in our project and who will be helping with the editing and putting together of the clips. Brady although a little quiet at times always has good things to say and ideas to add. So thankful for getting the opportunity to work with the both of you!

  4. This is going to be a difficult one to answer, but the first person that I would like to thank is Marena. I thank her for being such a fun person and bringing good vibes to every meeting. I also admire how she was kind of behind at the beginning of the semester but then quickly caught on and worked extremely hard every day. She was also amazing team player who brought really good ideas to our group and helped edit our video. She stayed focused the entire time, never gave up and really brought energy and good vibes every day. I thank her for that. Another person that I would like to thank is Frankie. She has been super helpful in giving positive and informative feedback whenever possible. I think she is the person who helped me the most and made more confident in myself because she gave really helpful feedback, she always had a good head on her shoulders and she is just a great human being in general. I think every person was super helpful and supportive, but I think these are the people I wanted to bring up.

  5. I want to thank my group members Lily, Alyssa, and Sarah for their work on this project. Everyone has contributed their time and come up with great ideas. Lily reached out to her professor to film an advertisement during one of her classes for the project. I really appreciated this and it showed her commitment to the project. Alyssa is always coming up with new ideas to develop our projects. I also got to work with Alyssa on the first collaborative speech and she was always so positive and made the speech go smoothly. Sarah has also been super helpful in the development of this project. She is always updating the Google doc with new ideas and came up with the idea for the introduction of our project. She also gives great feedback. Overall, working with each of them has made this project less stressful and they’ve been great at communicating and committing to the work.

  6. I wish I could thank everyone individually since I believe everyone in this class has been super supportive and welcoming for each other, and we were all able to pick each other up and provide good feedback for each other, however I would like to specifically thank a couple people from the class, first Taryn. Taryn has been a super supportive and positive partner or group mate in a few of my speeches and has offered a lot to the class. Not only with the group speeches but also with the solo speeches, we always practiced our solo speeches with each other and gave each other feedback. I was able to bounce ideas off of her and provide her with adjustments as well. She also always brought a lot of energy and good responses to other people’s speeches. The next person I’d like to thank is Josephine. She provided such great experience editing our speech 4 project. I’m incredibly thankful for the way she was able to help us bring the ideas we had for our project together. she also gave some very valuable ideas and provided some equipment that made our video look more professional. Our project definitely wouldn’t have turned out the way we hoped it would without her.

    1. First I want to thank Marena for being an awesome neighbor and also being an awesome partner in a group project. She is very enthusiastic about doing everything that brings her confidence to do any kind of work. Every time she brings a very energetic aura that makes me energetic whenever I work with her or talk to her. Also, she did a very great job editing speech 4. That was one of the important work we had to do for our speech 4 and she did it very well which is very helpful to us. And I also want to thank Josephine. She was my speech 2 partner and we did great in that speech because of her because I didn’t know about a card game called cribbage and she taught me how to play to help me out to understand the game properly. I wish I could thank everyone in the class because everyone did their part and helped me in many different ways.

  7. Everyone in this class deserves a pat on the back for their hard work, and for the constant support they show the whole class. I would have not been able to deliver my speeches with confidence if it weren’t for this class. Individually though, I wanted to thank Kassidy. Kassidy and I both came into this class knowing no one and she sat down next to me on the first day since then we have benefitted from each other all semester. She is very supportive, kind, and not afraid to give me constructive criticism. On top of these attributes, she works hard and completes all work on time. This speech and our speech 2 would not have turned out the way they did if it weren’t for her. Additionally, I would like to thank Casey for his hard work in this last speech. Admittedly, Kassidy and I are not the best with technology and Casey volunteered to edit our video as well as come prepared with a camera lens so our video would be clear. He has been on top of his work throughout the whole project and was not afraid to throw ideas into our speech.

  8. I wanted to say thank you to Eadie and to Mariyalee because they have both been there to support me and help me work on projects for this class and were willing to work with me for the final project too. Both have given me multiple pieces of feedback, both good and back on my presentations as well as making this final project so much fun and creative. It was so much fun getting to know both of them and doing a project with them. Each of them has also been there when I was nervous to present and made sure to support me whenever I was nervous or worried about my speech. Eadie and Mariyalee are very talented people and very good at public speaking and I’m not sure if I could have made it through this class without their support or without the funny conversations that the three of us have when sitting next to each other.

  9. I want to say a big thank you to Grace, Sarah, and Lilly. You all have been great group members, each contributing to the project significantly. You have all made it easy to work on this project, all collaborating equally. Grace, has been my partner two times in this class and always works hard on every speech. She is always putting in a lot of effort trying to make the speeches the best that they can be. Sarah is always trying to find new ways to make the speech better, always coming up with new ideas that we can try. Sarah also is a great leader, planning out what will be best for the group and thinking about everyone and not just herself. Lilly always has a positive attitude, which always flows in the class and the speeches making it easy to either collaborate or listen. The project we were working on would not be the same without all the amazing qualities they bring.

  10. First I want to thank Maddy because we were able to help each other for all of the speeches that we had to deliver throughout this class. We would meet up and listen to each other say our speeches and give feedback to each other. Thank you Maddy for making me feel confident before every speech I had to give by always giving me positive feedback and encouragement. I do not know what I would have done if we didn’t practice with each other. I would also like to thank Stella. I noticed every time we delivered a speech, or a version of one of our speeches, she was typically always the first person to raise her hand and give some positive feedback to everyone. After she would raise her hand, it always gave me the confidence to raise my hand and made me also want to give feedback. Thank you Stella for always bringing positive energy to class and being willing to participate no matter what. I wish I could thank each person in the class individually because everyone in the class had a positive impact on me and never made me feel judged whenever I delivered a speech.

  11. First, I want to thank Eadie for being fun to work with on our second speech. She made it a very fun collaborative process and I believe it helped me tremendously with my nerves on stage. She also brings a very fun energy to the class and gives great feedback. I would also like to thank my partners for the final project, Stella and Kassidy. They have both heard my ideas and added great ideas of their own to making this project very collaborative. Kassidy went out of her way to get her interview and sent it to me in a timely manner and Stella has communicated very well with me making sure nothing is a guessing game. Both of them have been very on top of their roles in the project which I really appreciate.

  12. First I want to thank Marena for being an awesome neighbor and also being an awesome partner in a group project. She is very enthusiastic about doing everything that brings her confidence to do any kind of work. Every time she brings a very energetic aura that makes me energetic whenever I work with her or talk to her. Also, she did a very great job editing speech 4. That was one of the important work we had to do for our speech 4 and she did it very well which is very helpful to us. And I also want to thank Josephine. She was my speech 2 partner and we did great in that speech because of her because I didn’t know about a card game called cribbage and she taught me how to play to help me out to understand the game properly. I wish I could thank everyone in the class because everyone did their part and helped me in many different ways.

  13. I wanted to thank Kiera and Eadie for all the support and friendship they’ve given me this semester. I knew Kiera beforehand and I was incredibly happy to see someone who was familiar to me and that I could consider a friend. I’m happy that I could work with her for speech 2 and 4 because having her around just made the class a better experience. She’s very talented and has lots of incredible ideas. She’s the type of person who knows exactly what she wants. I’m glad that this class allowed me to meet Eadie. She’s one of the most caring and considerate people that I have met at this school and she just has so much charm. She’s very creative and is great at public speaking. Working with both of them has been great and they’re very understanding.

  14. Journal 19
    I want to just start off by saying thank you to everyone for being so kind and supportive and sitting there and listening to me give speeches and applaud for me when I’m done even if my speech was boring or it wasn’t entertaining enough and also giving great feedback so I can do even better on the next one. I want to thank my partner Nikki for being a great partner over this past semester with the speeches that we have done together, it was a lot of fun. We made some great speeches and taught a great skill I also want to thank Jack for saying what’s always on his mind and making me and probably everyone else laugh And I want to end it by just saying thank you to Professor Miller for being a great teacher and being really supportive and helpful to all of us over this past semester.

  15. First I want to thank everyone for making this class a place where I felt comfortable. Public speaking can be a very vulnerable thing and I think as the class progressed, I just kept getting even more comfortable with speaking in front of everyone. I feel like we had a very good atmosphere. I want to thank Marena for always coming in with a positive attitude. Not only does she give really good feedback, but she is also someone who can always make me smile. She brightens up the room and I’m very glad I met someone like her in this class. I also want to thank Jack. He is a very outgoing and funny person and from what I saw public speaking came pretty easy to him. I admire his energy and passion for it and hope that one day I can be as comfortable as him in front of a large group of people! Lastly, I want to thank Brady D. He was very supportive during the speech that we did together and I enjoyed working with him.

  16. I want to thank my group members from Project 4, Frankie and Adria. This project was a difficult one, and definitely time consuming. However, all three of us were able to collaborate with each other to complete our talk show and create high quality video to present to the class. I was in charge of editing, which was a tough task, but both Frankie and Adria helped me out to ensure I wasn’t doing most of the work. They also were fun to work with, as we were able to bounce ideas off of each other and incorporate the appropriate amount of humor into our video. I also want to thank Pujan for being supportive this semester. Pujan and I were able to talk about assignments outside of class, helping each other generate ideas and polish our work as a whole. Everyone I was able to work with this semester did a fabulous job, and we should all be proud of the progress we made from the start of this class, to now.

  17. I think that everyone in our class deserves a thank you for being very supportive of each other and giving nice/considerate comments on everyone’s speeches. There are a lot of us but everyone is very welcoming of each other. But if I had to pick two people from the class to thank I would pick Maddy and Taryn, for picking me to be a part of our Speech 4 group. Especially since I wasn’t there on the day everyone chose groups for this project. Both were very positive and so helpful with organizing and planning this speech with me. I’m happy they asked to include me. I think we all learned a lot about our major since we all share the same one. And because we all have the same major Maddy and Taryn reached out to some of the pre-pharm year two students and interviewed them when I couldn’t be there. Maddy was a really great news anchor and sounded so professional in our final presentation, Taryn did a great job as the news reporter conducting all the interviews and helping come up with questions to ask each person. Taryn also bought some clip-on microphones that really elevated the quality of our video. Our project turned out so much better than I thought and it was because of all of the effort we all put into it that’s why I’d have to thank Maddy and Taryn for their amazing ideas and enthusiasm about this project and all of their speeches this semester!

  18. I would like to thank Melanie, Pujan, and Jack. This class made my friendship with Melanie blossom, and now I have a roommate for next year that makes me eager to come back to school. Pujan was so helpful while I was getting caught up in this class, especially at the beginning of the year, and without Mel and Puj being there and showing me what to expect and bring to the class, I wouldn’t have succeeded. Jack always came to our meetings with a ready attitude and a brain full of ideas. He wasn’t afraid to share his thoughts and made sure the final product we produced was something all of us could be proud of. I am really glad I joined this class, because not only did I learn so much about public speaking, but I was also honored to be a part of the little public speaking family in that classroom.

  19. First I wanna thank everybody in the class, I thought everybody always did amazing. Everybody was always so supportive and kind throughout the whole semester. First I want to thank Frankie. She always had so many positive things to say and always came into class with a smile and just kept the positivity in the room alive and she was always someone that you could count on to give good feedback. Another person I want to thank is Jack. Jack always made class easier by throwing in a few jokes here and there. He always had amazing energy and came to class ready to give his speeches. From what I saw, public speaking came easy to him and thought he was great at it! Lastly I want to thank my partner Brady, he always gave good energy and always came to class with a positive attitude. Throughout all the partner projects he was great with always providing good feedback and making sure the workload was fair and that our speeches were as great as we could make them.

  20. I absolutely loved working with my group members. Alyssa always had fresh and really useful ideas along with her editing skills. I know I couldn’t edit at all so I’m really thankful for her for that. Grace always kept us in check and focused, or at least me anyways. I am HIGHLY distractable so having Grace there really really helped. Sarah was just fantasitc. It was really fun getting to know her and she helped a lot with executing all of our ideas and creating amazing ideas herself and you could tell she was committed to the project.
