Shirley Hall wrote a farewell speech thanking Dr. Stephanie May for her speech communications course. The course helped Shirley overcome challenges with communications due to her learning disability. She learned nonverbal and verbal communication skills to effectively communicate. Shirley will apply these new skills by considering the audience's beliefs and values to have respectful discussions. The most memorable part of the course was learning about different speech types and techniques, as well as being aware of how her speech could be perceived by others.

2. Speech Communications Farewell
Thank you for an eye opening experience, as for me
who has faced life’s challenges since I have had a
learning disability since school age. I have always had
communications problems which made me not wanting
to hang around with other kids and/or adults.
After learning how to communicate in this course, I
can use this new found knowledge and use it whenever
needed too.

3. Overcoming Challenges
In my past experience I have always had
problems when it came to talk and/or speech
out didn’t know exactly how to get started. I
would be afraid of their negative comments with
an open mind.
After studying and listening to chats I was able
develop my outline based on Nonverbal and
Verbal Communication Skills Effectively.

4. Applying the Communication Skills
I will be adapt my new skills by thoughts, ideas,
and focus on the audience own beliefs, values,
common interest. This way I can consider which
nonverbal and verbal communication to share
my own dilemma so it would lead respect and
curiosity.

5. Speech Communication the Conclusion
As a final recollection of my last thought. I want
to think all that were in attendance. As for me I
have broaden my knowledge and will use them
in the future whenever the occasion arises.
Using effective speaking tools will help me to
do so , when talking or communicating with
others and their cultural behaviors oon how to
approach them.

6. Memorable Topics and Discussions
The most memorable events for me that I have learned
from this course. When I was given a topic in class for my
outline. I chose Nonverbal and Verbal Communications for
my experience to better understand what Dr. May was
explaining in class. First , I recall her explaining the
different forms of speeches. I was instructed to study my
techniques and audience so both could be done correctly.
The other thing being aware not to be misleading or
discriminating for other people may view and hear the
presentation different.
