I found it easier to express my thoughts in the form of a speech than a traditional academic essay because it allowed me to be much more formal to my audience. It felt like I was having a conversation. While I was writing I imagined someone or a group in front of me as I’m speaking because word choice that I wouldn’t use in academic essay. The speeches we read for class definitely helped me achieve that a example was Stella Young where she was giving a speech but she was actually talking to her audience and engaging with them and it shows as she used humor to convey her points. During this writing process I learned that I love writing more especially when I get to speak as myself and not as someone I’m not. For example when I write a lab report I have to put myself in the shoes as a scientist and pretend I’m a intellectual. While writing I was myself and I can see myself in this essay.
