Week 3: Overcoming Obstacles

Since I must learn a new topic every day, it can be hard to retain everything. At the end of each week, I must give a presentation to my bosses on what I have learned. This has been challenging for me because I get very nervous speaking publicly, especially in front of my bosses who I want to impress. My first two weeks, I felt a lot of pressure to impress my bosses. However, since week 1, I have definitely improved and am not as nervous when making my presentation. I have surprised myself by becoming more comfortable presenting and have begun to enjoy creating the presentations. I create a PowerPoint which ties together all of the topics I have learned with current events. I now find that I look at the Powerpoint less when presenting, because I am becoming more familiar with the information and language. Although this has been my most difficult task, I know that I am overcoming my fears and working hard.
