From the Paper:

"Classes in public speaking will give me the necessary tools to communicate effectively in any setting. It is not difficult to think of a time when I may not have been comfortable speaking in front of an audience, no matter how small the group may have been. This could be a real problem later in life. Verbal communication is a necessary tool needed to get one's point across. If one does not know how to communicate effectively, there is room for misinterpretation and error. I am confident that since I have been able to take a class on public speaking my communications will be better suited to the plethora of people that I encounter. Now I am more confident when speaking in front of other people. I now know how to prepare myself for speaking engagements as well as casual conversation with friends and family. Not only is public speaking useful in increasing my communication skills it will help me to be more confident while applying for jobs, as well as communicating with current and or potential clients, supervisors, and colleagues."
