Recommended: Summary of the importance of budgeting

First, this budget simulation was a unique experience because I had never been exposed to anything like it. The simulation was a good experience because now I know I do not want to balance a budget that does not benefit me in any way. Balancing a budget can be a challenging thing if you go in not knowing anything about budgeting. In the case of this simulation, I was not sure where the money should have gone and confused me a great deal. The most challenging parts of the simulation for me was not knowing how to do a budget and responding to questions after giving my advocacy testimony. I found this to be challenging because as I said before I’ve never done anything like it. The questions after the testimony were a bit challenging because they were really good questions and they actually made me think of the issue I was advocating. When I was preparing my speech I also thought of questions that my classmates could have asked me but they were not even close to the questions that I got asked. The questions my classmates were asking me were as if they were really considering funding my issue, wanted to know my exact plan and were really interested in what I was advocating. …show more content…

Everyone’s speech was well thought out and I thought was actually very relevant in today’s society which I really enjoyed. I thought everyone had relevant and insightful information on their advocacy issues and advocating it nicely. The information and stats that my fellow classmates presented was eye opening in certain situations. For example, the advocacy issue on a community garden. I was not aware of all the benefits that creating urban gardens could bring to not only the community but also schools. Also, I really like the testimony on Wireless Phila because I like the idea of being able to have wifi all throughout the city and also be able to bring that Wi-Fi in your home for an affordable

  • Reflection Of Kevin's Informative Speech On The World Cup

    1055 Words  | 3 Pages

    Perhaps, also wondering if it actually will be informative for an individual can be something very intimidating. Kevin chose to talk about the World cup, something that has never brought much entertainment to me. The way that Kevin was talking, with so much passion shown to his audience caught my attention, not to mention the humor he used along with it. Presenting a speech to the class is as if one was having an ongoing conversation with strangers and letting them know why the topic brings so much interest to you. Not to mention, one must seem into it to not lose the audience interest, which is what Kevin did. Kevin used hand gestures letting the audience or perhaps myself know that he was actually meaning what he was

    Over all this speech went relatively well but there is always room for improvement. I believe that the three most important aspects of this speech that I would need to improve and implement into my next speech would be the verbal citations, keeping my flashcards in order, and making sure that I plan out the time I need for my speech more carefully. I believe that improving these three things for my next speech would make a great

    The speaker I saw was Veronika Scott, BFA, and also the CEO of the Empowerment Plan based in Detroit, Michigan. Scott 's purpose of the speech was to inform, more specifically, to bring light to the obstacles homeless people face on a daily basis. She told her firsthand accounts of seeing homelessness from an outside perspective and how she was inspired to help change these people 's lives. She designed a coat for the homeless that doubles as a sleeping bag. This speech was put on by the University Speaker Series but people from outside UW Oshkosh came to see her speak.

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of A Speech By Dr. Rosanna Reyes

    762 Words  | 2 Pages

    Reyes speech was a little clearer than her introduction, but not much. Her entire speech was based on personal narratives from Jefferson, the college she works a dean for; the reason I mention this is because the stories made it easy for her to explain what she was talking about while still keeping the audience’s attention, but this also made us confused. Dr. Reyes kept mentioning places at Jefferson as though we knew exactly what she was talking about, even though her audience members had never stepped foot on that campus (most of the audience were members of Allegheny College). Because of this, her points were not made very clear. She could have fixed this by explaining more of where she was talking about. Another problem with the speech was that Dr. Reyes kept saying phrase like, “I’ll explain this later,” or “We’ll come back to this.” Phrases like these made it hard to see where the speech was going and left me confused. Clearly, I was not the only person she lost the attention of though because I had noticed one person playing on their phone and another person sleeping during the middle of the

  • Budget Analysis

    1842 Words  | 4 Pages

    A company's budget serves as a guideline in planning and committing costs in order to meet tactical and strategic goals. Tactical goals such as providing budgetary costs for daily operations, and strategic objectives that include R&D, production, marketing, and distribution are all part of the budgeting process. Serving as a guideline rather than being set in stone, the budget is a snapshot of manager's "best thinking at the time it is prepared." (Marshall, 2003, p.496) The budget is a method in which to reign-in discretionary spending, and will likely show variances between what costs have been anticipated and what costs are actually incurred.

    I really enjoyed the simulation. On the simulation day, I have a chance to strengthen the team-player skills. Although I sometimes still lack confidence to speak up due to my English skill, I believed I have improved my confidence in some level. As I can notice that I am more willing to share the ideas on the activities in this class than the previous classes. Moreover, I have learned from this simulation that it is not necessary to have only one correct choice for the ideas. Different people have different ideas depending on their perspective. Therefore, there could be many solutions for a problem, but to select the best choice; we need to consider many factors and the majority opinions. The simulation also allows me to understand how the real organizations work. It is impossible to efficiently manage the organizations without understanding the four frames.

This speech caused me to realize we as people make things much more complex than we need it to be. We have the power and when it gets hard in life we have to keep pushing through to get what we want in our lives. What makes certain people different and stand out is the ones who can’t be outworked the people who don’t give up and I have decided that the person I want to be is a person who doesn’t give up when times get hard.

  • Harrisonburg Community: Speech Analysis

    The main topic of my speech was why the audience should volunteer. In the introduction of my speech, I linked my topic to the audience by explaining that at some point, each and every audience member had been exposed to community service. Whether they had completed in the past, they have a service requirement within clubs at JMU, or they have simply read the e-mails from Jared Diener discussing various volunteer opportunities within the honors college. Then, I discussed the problem of high poverty rates in the Harrisonburg community. This relates the topic even further to my audience because for a majority of the next four years, Harrisonburg will be their home and their community.

    I truly appreciated and loved the speakers that came in. They were all very entertaining, informative, and they made me think about what it was that I wanted to do. Being able to hear their experiences and what they had to say honestly about their jobs was a good experience and being able to talk to them afterward or ask questions was very nice. The speakers were one of my favorite parts of this class, and Ms. Black was my favorite out of all of them since she talked about her struggles and the hard parts of the job. Additionally, I liked thinking about what schools I could go to and what options I could have there.
