Learning Goals
The following are my learning goals for this final quarter of POL S 496. Although it appears simple, this exercise was extremely valuable for me and my supervisor. Take every assignment seriously and with care. Please see my Week 1 weekly reflection for a more in depth look at how these goals came to be.
1.21 Fundraising Event Speech
This was the first speech I've given in a long time and although I usually don't mind public speaking, I was quite nervous. To calm my nerves I took time to brainstorm and write our what I wanted to say. In addition, right before I went on I took a few deep breaths and reminded myself to slow down.
2021 Advocacy Kick-off
I am proud of my first big appearance in front of the CP community. Although I was nervous, familiar faces and friendly messages in the chat reminded me of why I return to this community again and again. For our 2021 Advocacy program we partnered with a fellow Declaration for American Democracy (DFAD) Coalition member, Common Cause. Today (2/11) I hosted our first phone bank event and really enjoyed chatting and being in our community-- and then joining our friends at Common Cause to make calls.
