english poem
Its all about Me!
I look in the mirror
And what do I see
A beautiful girl
staring back at me
From my long blonde hair
To my bold blue eyes
Wow I look good
as you even can see
some people may not like me
but what do they know
it not all about my looks
that makes me so beautiful
some people may judge me
but what do they know
what the outside doesn’t show
what the inside knows to well
is a girl who has been told lies
who has had the unspoken done to her
but that is in the past
the future is to come
I look in the mirror and what do I see
A beautiful strong girl looking back at me
I have been to hell and back
So my life is all about me just to let u know
I look in the mirror
And what do I see
A beautiful girl
staring back at me
From my long blonde hair
To my bold blue eyes
Wow I look good
as you even can see
some people may not like me
but what do they know
it not all about my looks
that makes me so beautiful
some people may judge me
but what do they know
what the outside doesn’t show
what the inside knows to well
is a girl who has been told lies
who has had the unspoken done to her
but that is in the past
the future is to come
I look in the mirror and what do I see
A beautiful strong girl looking back at me
I have been to hell and back
So my life is all about me just to let u know

Reflection on Informative Speech
On my informative speech I did a lot of items in my speech that made it work well, and made it a successful speech! One of the things that worked very well for me is my topic. I chose the foster care system because I was a part of it, and also I have two baby sisters in it right now. So that made knowing the information very easy, I also had own life experiences in it so those made me a creditable speaker, and gave more depth on the speech, I had visual aids that worked well and tied in with the speech. I also used queue cards that had information on , so that the speech went smoothly.
In my speech there were also things that didn’t flow so well. In it I said a lot of um, and likes. The volume of my voice seemed to go up and down at different times. I also fidgeted a lot which was to me kind of distracting. Since I was nervous, and had so much information, I also talked to fast.
Areas I would like to improve on, is my organization over all of my information, and creativity of my poster. Also I need to improve my volume control of my voice, and the pace of it.
