1. Spanish culture & Discipline
-Nonnegotiable you do not disrespect your elders or talk back to your parents, and if the sound of your most likely whining voice is heard while being disciplined or getting lectured that is disrespect.
-Lessons are taught with discipline.
– I noticed pretty early that my mother was a bit more strict than other parents i didn’t know what other parents hands felt like but i had a feeling my mothers hands were a bit heavy, even within my family, She knew she a lot too.
-sometimes sorry wasnt words it was the taste of fluffy mayo on ham sandwich cut into triangles, or a bowl of fruit.
– Discipline quickly followed by sorry was confusing, it left me feeling guilty.
2.Conflicting actions created unsure feelings
-I received the punishment so i must have done something wrong right ?
-i have always been a bit slow to hit the mark , I’ve always needed things explained a few times for it to “click”
-So on days where i was punished for things i didn’t think were bad it just didn’t make sense
– i would rerun the whole day and my actions over and over
-guilty confused and ashamed all while eating my sandwiches
3.IT CLICKED
-i came home to my mother so in enraged about something that had nothing to do with me i could almost smell the sweat beads on her forehead forming.
-It hit me, it wasn’t always me or my actions that created the anger or punishments
-for sure sometimes it was me like when i broke the wall or painted the fence that was me but i didn’t always start the fire.
-i was just the target that caught all of it , she was the lighting and i was the rod
– feelings of guilt and confusion vanished
– i now knew why all those days didn’t make sense
-it has always been me and her vs the world , and on the days the world wins we eat ham sandwiches

I went home took a nap

– my friend knock on my door
-and told me the store
– was on fire and went outside
-the whole building was on fire.
I remember getting close
to my door I was smelling food.
when I got inside my house
my father made yellow rice, macaroni salad
and also made chicken
when i first had braces
it was kind of weird
when i had taste anything
it felt funny
it feels like you are chewing a wire
was feeling uncomfortable
sometimes i can’t even taste the food
when i was 6-year-old
i remember recording myself
play fighting with brother
i remember telling myself
the radiator was the tope rope.
i was creating matches
like it was wwe ppv
i went to get a ladder that my father had already set up before work
I climb up to the top
my brother moves out the way
and i ended up breaking my left arm
i was remembering going to the final
in a basketball game
and my team didn’t win
kind of felt little emotions in the air
to make myself stronger.
and reflecting on the emotion
made me stronger as a person
it
1) When he said pulling wires through his teeth when he was eating.
2) He was swinging left to right when presenting.
descriptive details
putting his emotions in the basketball game
body posture
moving left to right
He was moving from side to side, but he changed his voice while explaining his situation.
“he felt a stronger person when it was the final basketball game”
sarcastic voice
change in voice
“pulling wires” “pulling teeth”
“feeling emotional”
look at the audience a little more
Khatrel story is pretty nice. he’s voice is good. really serious. and he’s body movement side to side is okay I made it fit his story. he should hold his book with one hand
Tittle: Joy of winning a DV lottery.
Does anyone know what DV lottery is? It is a Green Card Visa to come to USA, given by US government for underdeveloped countries.
In 2002, a postman with kaki uniform approach and asked my name to sign in a white paper.
Gives me a large brown package/ an envelope, rectangular in shape.
Upon asking he said, from American embassy.
Feels like my heart would stop beating, nervous, my hands were very unstable, sweaty.
Could hardly open the envelope.
There are many pages of white papers.
pulled out the top paper, it reads
Congratulations!!!
“You are randomly Selected for Diversity Visa”
Wow! I couldn’t believe it, Could I be so lucky among thousands of people? I thought
My joy of happiness was over the Moon!!!
That moment, didn’t know what to do
No cell phone nor land line at home to call.
Run to closest phone boot,
First, called sick at my work, (I was a schoolteacher)
Secondly. Called everyone whom I know to give good news
My brain was creating thoughts after thoughts couldn’t stop thinking.
It’s good for me to be in a country where millions of people wanted to live.
Again my thoughts comes, do I have the courage to leave my birth country, (Nepal ) away from my family, friends, stable job?
That night it was hard to fall asleep.
Next morning, woke up, took deep breath, filled up the forms and post them to American embassy.
Thinking now, I feel myself blessed and luckiest one among thousands of people to win DV Lottery.
– Lovely use of brown envelope!
– You got more confident as it went on & I really loved seeing that.
Like the key use of the brown envelope basically giving an example would like for her to be just a little louder with projecting her voice and kind of flow a bit more with the presentation overall good detail and key moments describing her good news calling everyone her head piling up with thought after thought about the great opportunity that was at hand
When she received her brown envelope she was very nervous and excited for not knowing what to expect. Feeling of being over the moon joy
Posture: excellent eye contact and expressive with hand gestures and facial expressions
Aug 21 2019 started college
Everything was going good had friends I knew already
Enjoying life realizing college was a place to make connections explore and find yourself
Early September had meeting with college college advisor
Ms. Rosairio was kind woman but serious
she sat me down and
told me Nyhiem it’s time to pick a major
As I grew wary I felt nerves run through my body as I wasn’t fully sure what I wanted to do in life
Eventually after a long talk and some deep thinking I Declared a major and had really taken interest in communications
I was fascinated with body language being able to learn how to read people and trying to get a grasp on them
Mid October I felt that everything was great I was up to date on my work
I was studying for the first time in life and I even had a planner
Feb 1 2020 had a solidified friend group
Would go outside every weekend party explore and enjoy life as college was like a getaway
March 2020 Covid hit everything was shut down including school, everybody had to adapt to virtually learning
It felt like the energy was just being drained from around you a thick atmosphere and depressed looks all around no matter where you went
Aug 2020 as summer was coming to an I felt uneasy and would often shy away from talks whenever the conversation was about college
September 2020 sophomore year or second try you would say in college
Covid died down and People began to go back to college as well as me
Slowly tho I began to feel down and dreaded going to class everyday
I began to engage less in class drawing on my paper not raising my hand and just looking all over the place until class was over
It was clear I wasn’t interested
Now came a point where I would routinely skip class once or twice a week depending how I felt
I would go to the gym play basketball and just chill barley caring about class or anything for that matter
Feb 2021 I had a meeting with my advisor I’d never forget
With a sadden look on their face they told me without doubt I was slipping and losing focus more and more
I put my head down while they were talking and shyed away from making eye contact as I knew they were right
I told them I would get it together and turn things around with an awkward look on my face
April 2021 I felt my sophomore year coming to an end
checked my grades and saw I was failing two classes and didn’t know where life was taking me.
After that instead of struggling trying to play catch up I made the decision that it would be my last semester of college and just go with whatever happens not knowing it would only be a gap year.
-Great use of dates and times to paint a picture of the story.
-You seemed confident. Just naturally.
He described how invested he was in his major in communications. He even said that he got a planner, something he never gets so it seemed like he was excited about it.
He kept his poster during the whole presentation and even put his hand on his chest when he exclaimed that he failed two of his classes.
Detail during Covid first hit and how depressed everyone was help give me a detail of the environment.
Posture: great confidence and limited hand gestures

How my hand injury taught me how to control my emotions
when my mom decided to take a two week vacation to mexico w my 2 brothers and my sister
she had asked me to take over her morning shift at her job , i had agreed to it as i used to work for the same company
for the next two weeks my days would start at 6 am for my moms shift i would take the bus to head over to the mall
the work was easy ,it was almost like a walk in the park
After i would clock out i’d always get a hot chicken pizza roll rt next door
at the time i was working at Zara, as a sales associate my job required me to deal with a lot of dumb people everyday
the first few days things was going pretty smooth and things were going well
as the first week was coming to an end i was already falling behind on my sleep , i would try my best to keep an eye open on the bus to ensure i dont miss my stop
As i kept losing sleep and kept dealing with dumb customers i would get ajitated more and more
Attempting to relieve stress by moving metal circles was my only coping mechanism
Unfortunately my availability i had set didnt let me go much to the gym t
One night after holding so much in and very sleepless ,my father had asked me to help him with a flower arrangement around midnight
I felt so upset , so angry, asking myself why i couldn’t just get a full night’s rest
Shortly after i acted purely on impulsive thoughts and with a head full of anger i punched a ceramic wall
I quickly noticed that my hand was bleeding and that it was definitely a pretty big cut
As we rushed to the emergency room my dad kept asking me what i had just done
I was confused as to what had happened it all just happened so fast
The doc had told me that i ripped my tendon and i was gonna have to need surgery and stitches rt on the spot
I look behind me and see my dad pacing back and forth sweating , breathing hard
Next week I had surgery at 6 am in queens ,I recall my mom had came along w me that morning
After switching outfits into this surgery gown i was sitting in this cold chair nervous for my surgery
I waited for what seemed like the longest 20 mins ever in my life to be called up next
Finally its time for my surgery and im feeling anxious ,nervous, for a moment i was scared
As the doc injects the first needle in my left arm my whole body starts to turn cold knowing i’d be asleep in less than 2 minutes
Finally he injects the anesthesia and in that same moment my mind goes blank
He puts my head down and says rest and I wake up 2 hours later like nothing ever happened
Still disoriented from the anesthesia Im so confused i dont even know my name
I cant feel my right arm its so heavy its almost as if they cut it off
As I try to move my left hand its usless as it hurts just as much
As I put my head back down and stare at the ceiling I think about how ima get outa here
When I look back up and theres a nurse ready to help me up
As I sit up I feel my right arm is as heavy as a rock ,left arm feels like I had gotten stabben ,I was so dizzy I told them to give me a minute to adjust
As this nurse assistant comes to help me get dressed i cant even stand my legs feel like wet spaghetti noodles in my head the room is spinning so fast
As they put me in this wheelchair Im cold Im dizzy Im hungry Im tired I was ready to just die
Thankfully the surgery went well and after taking therapy ive fully recovered
Weight was off the right foot, which might help feel a bit more grounded.
The detail of seeing the bone.
1) He was descriptive of how his father was pacing and made the metaphor of how it’s like he’s having his first kid to show how nervous his dad was.
2) When he said he was getting stitches he made a gesture of how he looking away.
Israel story about his hand injury. this way of walking is really amazing he look relax and calm.

Utilizing gesture quite a bit, which I feel like mirrored the emotional rhythm in the narrative, but very firm in stance. Really strong posture.
1) Very in depth in how she was emotionally affected by the toxic relationship and how she recovered which kept audience engaged.
2) Her posture was very engaging and was very confident. No fidgeting and no pauses in her voice.
-“get tired and rub my belly”
– rumors
– don’t look at your phone too much
Descriptive details:
“sitting up forward and rubbing my belly a lot”
Body gestures:
Solid on her feet and posture; hand gesture – moving it up and down

Great description opening the beginning on Super Bowl Sunday the freezing cold and his whole world just stopping after getting new to come home immediately
The scent of perfume which help give us a smell.
Father eyes went from ocean blue to frost blue due to the loss of a love one.
Posture. Facial expressions were vivid and help express his emotions. Voice was loud and clear.
The story is just to beautiful
He had great posture and steady feet
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ns3cO6cMKW-eotm1iHrmxGSuOAfv3NIIgs4l6ZHimgE/edit
He was determined and commited to wining this game ,with the pain with the bleeding with the emotions
His posture was pretty good and was focused
– Swaying a bit but you talked with your hands really well.
– You make it really easy to visualize the plays in the championship game with your motions and descriptive language.
Would’ve like him to described more of reading the pitch with the pitch more as how the pitcher looked and getting more detailed into reading it.
I like the detail about adding his broken thumb in showing his will to persevere and bring his team to a walk off victory
Emotion was a key component really showing his will to win
Detail on their outline: lucky charm, detail is dirty and never washed. Sensation of heat for being a sunny day.
Pain sensation due to ball hitting the thumb during a pitch. Cried due to being overwhelmed with emotions for winning and achieving his dream.
Posture: open posture with hand gestures to help give a picture. Great eye contact
High on Life: Public Speaking Outline
When I was a kid
I always felt like I was running from something
Something intangible
You know how they say kids can’t sit still
Not because of hyperactivity but antsy/anxious
Everytime I sat in my emotions I cut them out. Everytime I didn’t know something, I would fake like I did.
Filled the gap with soccer, reading, normal things
Still always running. Figuratively.
Opportunity
Being a child allows you to focus on one or two things
As you get older, you realize world isn’t this easy
Fun things don’t come around as often and the amount of things to stress about increase.
When I got into middle & high school, I was still running
Quicker & accessible things to help run and hide
Let’s go play became hit this, take this bump, etc
Addiction
I loved the rush of that, the goosebumps when I tried something new and the rush of blood to the head when I did more.
Falling apart. School, Soccer, Family.
Now I wasn’t only running from this abstract feeling, but now from these problems I had created for myself.
Routine
One day
Mound of unfinished homework and an eight ball in my pocket.
You could smell the faint gasoline smell coming out but it never seemed as if my parents noticed.
Swinging
Numb
Physically and mentally.
Sour taste in my mouth and salivating so much I was nearly drooling.
Crashing & Spinning
Timer
Warm & Cold
What felt like the end
Swaying/Running
911
I had no answers.
World black.
Uber Home
Sitting in my backyard.
Lessons
I must have sat there, 45 minutes.
My whole life, I wasn’t running from life, adulthood, or new responsibilities.
I was running from myself.
And running turned me into a worse person than the real Elijah ever would’ve been.
And a smile grew on my face. Knowing in escaping death, I had found life.
Described a sense of running from something constantly always gave it thought about something and failing and just doing what ever he wanted
The great detail on his hand on his heart holding on to dear life
In the end how he came to a realization by finding life
HES running from this figurative “fear” that he couldn’t outrun no mater how far he ran
He kept good arm posture not swerving around to much very calm
Mentions how eyes became heavy and how he get the rush of anxiety.
Sour taste in mouth and drooling
Posture: open posture with great hand gestures and detail that help paint a vivid picture in my mind
Navy boot camp experience
– hook: ask if anyone though about joining the military
– express who you are and why at first joint looked good
– talk about old you and lifestyle
– express reason why you join
• wanted more finance
• benefits to go back to school for free
• get RN license while serving
• status
During training
– ask if they’re sensation on their first day of college and relate to first day of boot camp
– mention how days felt like months
– almost like jail time due to restrictions
– family faces started to blur and felt sadden
– started to reflect and how I took for granted my freedom
– found out benefits are not given right away, wait till 1 year of service
– not as good of benefits as told in the beginning
-found a way to get honorable discharge from superiors
Back home:
-work on my wrongs and build back bridges
– worked in betting myself
-got a better job to finance myself
– back on track to complete my goal for RN
– better place mentally and physically
– gain a lot from my boot camp experience
•confidence
•work under pressure
• learn to think for myself
• better at interacting with others
• always ready for the task at hand
-Your commitment to the body language was really good but maybe take your mistakes/stutters in stride a little more! We all do it.
-“Enough to make you want to crumble” is a really good descriptor.
Whole body shaking coming off the plane that first day shows how his nerves got him jittery vividly remembering his first day being a little scared/traumatized
Felt a sense of his freedom being taken away and lied to
Almost being in jail compared to actually the navy
He was when he got to the training camp , he was nervous, he was scared
He had self control and not move not fidget with anything

1) One detail he explained he was in the soccer team and how he was team captain and had to make sure he had everyone on point.
2) When explaining his story, he was very open and was moving his hands with every emotion explained.
Great job for going first!!
In terms of posture, very gesture heavy with the hands, right off the bat. But I actually liked the gestures because it made me lean into the story. Tendency to lean back on your heels towards the beginning. Might want to consider bringing outline closer to eye level for reference.
“The final was on Thursday, there was a myriad of emotions on people’s faces (fear, excitement, and everything in between).”
1 outline: His team
He scored at the last minute of the game and made it in and his friends celebrate.
open poster: he moves his hands while explaining buthe was bending to see the screen for him to continue
Descriptive about his finals:
– “on a Thursday”
– “10 minutes later they scored 2”
– “I remember I took the free kick”
– “Everybody was shaking me, they threw me up in the air”
Posture:
Slouching a bit; but got together afterwards
– explained all the schools that were participating
– explained the role of being the captain
– gave a lot of details about the final (very nervous) (“minute 37”)
– good hand gestures through out
descriptive detail:
“18th birthday was a couple days after the funeral”
body posture:
feet are grounded, no fidgeting
