Standing at the podium, senior Jordan Rodriguez is the first to present his "Challenge" speech to his class. Students were challenged to give a speech without notes or any filler words. “[The best part of the challenge is] the freedom to say whatever you want. It makes it a lot more fun when you get to come up with your own topics, which is why I really like Communications 101,” Rodriguez said. “You can kinda say whatever you want in the speeches as long as you're doing the speech correctly.”
