[ARCHIVED THREAD] - I just gave a speech on ballistic fingerprinting

That's right,
In a college speech class...
I asked you all a while ago for stats, Thanks for helping me out! It went great, I held everyones attention and I think I won everyone to my side!
The class is almost ALL girls, and one gave an anti-gun speech right after mine....
She was stuttering and messed up alot, it was GREAT!

Got an A for the speech, that also made me an A for the class.

I owe some of it to you!
Thanks

Excellent! Glad to hear it went well and that you had a captive audience.

Congrats! What did the girl get?

I bet an A just cause she was against.

Well done 397. Now that you've planted the seed, it's time to do some full recruiting from the class.

I can't, the semester is over, I will never see any of them again.

But it feels kind of cool to change some minds like that, I'll do it every chance I get now.
I normally hate speeches, but things change when you can talk about something you enjoy.

Thanks

First rule of public speaking:

Know your subject. Thorougly.

Good job!

jrj397, you did an excellent job. And you did it in a class full of people who likely had many pre-conceived notions. That day YOU were the educator, and everybody learned from you.

Keep up the good work, and best of luck in your endeavors- the real fun (and work) starts when you get OUT of college! [:D]

As it was the last class IMO it will stick in their minds. Good job!

Great going 397, Things like that can and will open up minds.

The A was good news, now how many are you going to take to the range to go for the +.
