Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog. I'm really excited to take this class and even more excited that it's online. It is also my first online class and I hope it goes fairly well. I've had my troubles with standing up in front of the crowd. This Summer, I took English1b over at Mission College and one of our assignments was to recite a poem and talk about it in front of the whole class. I was surprised with myself of how well I interpreted the poem to them and how much emotion I put into the poem. I knew then that my fear of going in front of the class was no longer there. The way I see it, I'm not the only one going up there and everyone's got to present either way. I just have to suck it up and present what I've been practicing. When I present, I tend to focus all my attention on the teacher. It helps me better when presenting because when I tend to look over everyone in the classroom, I lose my train of thought. I sometimes imagine that it's only the teacher and I in the classroom to help ease my nervousness being up there. My goal in this class is to not constantly and try not to even use any kind of notecards or paper while presenting in front of a classroom. I want to conquer my fear of not ever being nervous infront of a crowd.

Some facts on myself,
I am a full time student and it's my second year here at San Jose State University.
I like hello kitty, a lot :)
I recently got a job at a very popular fashion store but am very disappointed with how they handle their employees, thus, I am quitting.
I have many goals in my life. One of them, is to pursue my bachelor's degree in accounting.
I love to talk, but have never really practiced talking in front of a big crowd.
I love cruises.

Anyway, I hope to meet all of you soon!
Goodbye. This won't be the last time you here from me :)
