I have a great presentation that I give to international students.
While I am entertaining without any props, I am off the chain when you add a power point to my effervescent personality!
Combine all that with a room full of international students who may or may not speak my brand of English, you get quite a result!
You may not know this about me, but sometimes I pick up speed as I go, and can leave those poor international students in the dust.
I know this has happened when their eyes glaze over and they start to drool. At that point, I pause, take a breath, and slow down.
Just so there is no mistake: I admire these kids a great deal. I could not have left home and traveled half way around the world when was 19 like many of the international students I speak to. Their English is 1000 times better than my Chinese/Spanish/ French/German.
I do have feeling, however, that after each one of these presentations, there's a kid who goes back to his room, calls his parents and tells them that there's a crazy woman on the KSU campus and would it be okay for him to come home!
