 Starting with group number 3, since this time it was backward, and we started with this one. This is my group; we had many difficulties along the way to get to the final day. We even had some people who did not know what they had to do the same day as the presentation, even though we were very persistent in trying to get everyone together and ensuring everyone knew what they had to do. When we finally made it after a day of delay we were in synch, everyone knew what had to be done, and in my opinion, the presentation went pretty well. However, there was a moment when we got interrupted by a member of one of the other groups, but even there, we were able to get back on track seamlessly. Stephanie did a fantastic job making the template for the brochure since no one else in the group actually knew how to do it. The presentation was the same all throughout, showing how we tried our best to do everything together and not separately and then put it together, since that does make it look more professional. We started with the agenda and with the chapter presentation, each of us talking and explaining a little bit about what each chapter talked about to make it more understandable. After that, the actual theme presentation was about Paying It Forward, I enjoyed the research for the theme, and I especially loved finding different ways of paying it forward that did not include any money, since there are a lot of people who would love to help out to the community, but maybe do not realize they can do more than enough just by donating your time and your kindness. The movie was absolutely amazing, I had seen it before, but I definitely did not remember the ending. It was so sad and made me really mad after watching it, but overall, a great movie.

The second group was the second one, they started strong with their agenda and their study guide about the non-verbal messages, they all took turns explaining in the best way possible how these messages were so important and how messages can be sent in something other than words, I found it was extremely interesting. They also spoke about how you can deliver these messages, and how there are different types of delivering different messages, like for example, the informative and persuasive speaking. There were only 8 people here in this group so considering how many different chapters they had, they did an amazing job at dividing the parts. The way they did their study guide was also really cool, it wasn’t like an actual presentation on PowerPoint, but it looked more like a poster with different pages, which is original and looks different. Then they talked about their theme presentation about healthy eating and its link to happiness, which I think is such an important topic that should be talked about much more than it is. People do not realize that these two are so closely intertwined. The presentation they did was super smooth, they were all in synch, they were confident, and knew what they were saying, and talking about. I especially liked the part of the guy, whose name I cannot remember, he said he was a vegetarian, and he gave a few little personal details that made the presentation extra special. The PowerPoint per se was really nice, I think it had a little too much text making it look a little crowded and you could get lost while trying to read the actual presentation, but apart from that it was really nice, it had a lot of pictures and it was seamless, it did not seem like different people worked on it.

Lastly, was group one, they decided to finish strong. They started off with their study guide, and explained it, again being so few people, they were really good and doing their parts, and if I'm not mistaken, they even had some people missing during the day of the presentation. But they managed to make it without them, and they were great. Their presentation about self-care I’m going to have to say was my favorite since the theme is just amazing. They did an amazing job at the research, they even did a few interviews that were so smart, organized, and original it also gave some validation extra from outside people who gave their perspectives on the theme. I think overall was a great presentation, their PowerPoint presentation was really nice, it had a lot pictures and the actual template was cute, which always makes it easier to understand.

 The second Group of projects was finally done. Like the first one there were three groups with a different theme each. Group 1's theme was self care, Group  2's was about having a healthy diet and Group 3's, my group was about paying it forward. My group had the chance to be the first ones to present this time so I'm going to talk about it first. Me and my partners in Group 3 had the chance to work in the themed project for paying it forward. Paying it forward means that instead of "paying back" the kindness one person showed you, you "pay it forward" by showing that kindness to other people. Before I started this project I had never heard about paying it forward before, so this was a good opportunity to learn about it. I really liked the idea of paying it forward, so I'm happy I got to do this presentation. The concept of instead of paying kindness back to whoever gave it first, you spread it to other people and inspire them to give it to other...

 SPC 1017 8:00am class Group 1: This group had assigned Selfcare. I think that in contrast with last presentation, group two had the ability to have more time to prepare and organize their ideas and delegating responsibilities. They were able by being a smaller group compared to group three to give a way better presentation that the last one, improving their confidence and public speaking skills while working on the past red flags that they had as a group. Regardless of the normal public speaking anxiety I think they were able to manage themselves and express the importance of self care. For example they divide the term of self care in other smaller subtopics related as for example the importance of mental health awareness, and how we have to fight against the stigma to promote more mental health self care. As also exposing different resources in which the audience could use as a tool to take care of their mental health self care. Additionally, they talked about the importance of b...

Thoughts on paying forward     Paying it forward is such a simple thing that anyone can do. With just a smile on your face and a small interaction, you can make someone’s day. You can help someone with a task, either with a com pliment or a physical deed like helping them carry something heavy or even giving a homeless person food. These are all ways you can help someone and encourage them to continue paying it forward. Slowly but surely, paying it forward can make a huge difference in society and towards the world.     Theme presentations   In this last chapter assignment, my p rofessor , Sherri Sinkoff , assign ed our grou ps with various themes which really help you become a better person and create better habits for yourself. Group 1 was given the theme of self-ca re. Group 2 was given the theme of eating healthy and Group 3 was given the theme of paying it forward, which belonged to my group. Diving into these topics really make you start questio...
