Shalom everyone.  This is when I have to say goodbye.  It has been a great seven weeks and I thank all of the people who took the time to read this blog.  I lived through my TED talk, and I did it with only one hiccup.  That is a success.

Positive Stuff
I believe that my TED talk was pretty good.  I tried to speak as loud and as enthusiastically as I could.  I rehearsed my speech about ten times just last night.  I did have to read of my notes a few times, but I did not rely on them.  I think that it was polished and it flowed well.  I think my theme was obvious and explain well.  Not only did I show a video, I also spoke Hebrew live in front of everyone.  This proves that I actually learned something during this project.  The project seemed to end within the time constraints.  I was especially proud that I used specific examples when talking about ignorance and the different types.

Negative Stuff
My main complaint was the technical difficulty that I experienced while trying to play the video I had.  One of the plugs was not connected correctly.  I do not know computers at all, so I could not trouble shoot that well.  Also, I do not think I made anyone laugh.  I mean, that was not the purpose, but I could have made something kind of joke.  I did not speak of failures, which I probably should of.   

I would give myself a 27/30.  I was not the best presentation that I saw, but it was not the worst.  I was able not only to present the information, but I was able to answer all of the questions that were asked.  My main problem was the stupid plug that was not plugged in.  So, I say to all of my faithful friends for the last time.  SHALOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
