I have to tell you of one of my first public speeches. I had a wonderful PS teacher in college. He taught us never to read anything, but that we could have a few note cards to glance at. I ran a distance learning center for the University and it was our first graduation. We had the ceremony in the movie theater that was next to the school. The seats were filled and it was time for me to do my thing. All smiles and with total confidence I took my place at the podium. I began strongly with the greetings and welcomes. then because I was taught to glance at my cards that's waht I did. I had highlighted the buzz words with blue and because we were in a movie theatre the lighting was very dim......I couldn't see a thing on my cards. With a very deep breath I charged forth and all was well. Needless to say I never used blue highlighter again.
