Chloe Huang Goodbye Specific Purpose: To say goodbye to the class I.

Introduction A. Attention getter: That time of the year has arrived. It is time to say goodbye to my fellow classmates, Professor Gechlik, along with this class. B. Thesis statement: I wanted to share with you all about my initial and present impression of this class. C. Preview of main points: 1. First impression of being place in a block schedule and having to take a public speaking class. 2. Thoughts and feelings about block schedules and this class now. 3. What I would miss most about this class in my future college career.

Transitions: Now that you have an idea of what I will be talking about today, let’s jump right into this whole first impression of mine. II.

Body A. First Impression of having a block schedule and public speaking class. 1. I will be honest here, the whole block schedule didn’t please me at first. 2. I have many friends from high school attending Baruch College. The first thing I did when I received my schedule, like most of the others, was comparing my schedule with that of my friends’. I was quite disappointed when I found out I did not share any class with any of my friends. 3. On the Convocation Day, no one spoke until Joe and Fion walked in. I’m that type of person who hates awkward silences. I really thought I was placed in a block with quiet and awkward people. 4. In addition, I freaked out when I saw COM 1010 on my schedule. I used to hate this nerve wracking public speaking. I’m the type of person who would present in front of the class with my face turning red like a monkey butt and my voice and hands would shake like I was put on vibrate.

Transition: That was then and this is now. Let’s talk about my thoughts and feelings about block schedules and this class now.

B. Thoughts and feelings about block schedules and this class now 1. I love it. I simply love my block and love this class. 2. Now I think it was good not to be placed together with your friends in a block. If you know that one friend from your high school, you will most likely stick with that friend from the very beginning. Then you will not be able to make new friends. 3. Look at us now. Our block is like a family. We would chat about related and non-related things in our Facebook group chat. From time to time, a group of us would go eat together. 4. This class and Professor really taught me a lot. I am able to take up roles in clubs and present in front of a crowd. My speech presentations in class and in club have improved drastically. I can say that I am no longer that person who would turn red-faced and shake when making a speech. Transition: Those were certainly very contrasting to my first impressions. Let’s talk about what I would miss most about this class in my future college career. C. What I would miss most about this class in my future college career. 1. It’s sad that I won’t be sharing any classes with most of you next semester. 2. We will have different schedules and it will be hard to find a time to gather and have our small chats. 3. It will certainly be hard to make friends in a lecture hall with more than 100 people. III.

Conclusion: A. Signal closing: That is all for now. B. Review main points: Today I discussed my first impression of being put in a block schedule and this class, my thoughts about it now, and what I would miss the most about this class. C. Clincher: Here is a quote from Rick from The Walking Dead. “We survive by pulling together, not apart.” I really hope we can stay in contact in the future, even if we won’t be able to see each other as often. Farewell, DWB scholars and farewell COM 1010....
