From Wendy Kush, in her own words: "I am a very reserved person and an introvert. When I received the syllabus for the semester on our first day of class and saw that we had to do three speeches all leading up to an eight-minute speech I really wanted to withdraw. I did not think I could do it. I am so glad I did not withdraw and continued."
