This is your opportunity to give your first prepared talk and "break the ice." The best way to begin your speaking experience is to talk about the subject closest to you -- yourself. You will introduce yourself to your fellow Club members and give them some information about your background, interests and ambitions. As you prepare and deliver your talk, you will become aware of speaking skills you already have and areas that require some work. Your fellow members will help you understand these needs, as they see them.

Your objectives for this speech are:

• To begin speaking before an audience.

• To help you understand what areas require particular emphasis in your speaking development.

• To introduce yourself to your fellow Club members

• Time: 4-6 minutes
