The first two weeks have been very impactful. I have realized that since this is being done at the end of school, many of you have been dealing with a fear for a long time now, or have conquered it by now. This letter comes from A Sophomore Marketing Major
"It has been four months I have been at this school. Southern Utah is very fun for me but my friends and I feel like our views are so radicalized that people do not want to hear our opinion. In reality I have the same opinions as everyone in class, but I feel when I speak it people feel it is sarcasm. What can I do to not be scared to speak in class?"

I understand this feeling, You are not alone in this, I myself am from the Middle East and people feel that I will always have somethign extream to say, that is not the case. I have solved this issue in my class life by being understanding of others and to speak with confidence. When adversity is faced against us, those who continue without confidence look scared, but those with their head high are going to be listened to. when you try it once, it will work from then on, speak with confidence your whole point and you will see good results.
Speakign up is a huge issue to be a leader. When we are being led yet others are against us that is when we see if we have confidence.
If you did not receive my e-mails, this is the link I have passed on this week.
