So What? Now What?

Wow, another semester has come and just about gone! Finals will be over in a week from tomorrow!!! As I was studying for finals today, I was starting to realize everything that I have learned in a short few weeks. One particular chapter in MCOM really caught my eye. This chapter was about presentations and giving effective presentations. I realized how throughout my life, whether in my career, or in church, I will be giving presentations and how helpful the information that I learned this semester was. Eye contact, hand gestures, bringing emotion, and telling stories will all help me throughout my life. One thing that particularly hit me today was three major attributes that audiences look for in effective presenter. These are if the presenter is (1) knowledgeable, (2) likable, and (3) genuine. These will be important for me as I prepare to serve a mission for The Church as Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint in Naga Philippines. I will be able to lose these traits as I teach the people the gospel that I love so very much.
