According to StrengthFinder, people with communication as a theme “generally find it easy to put their thoughts into words.” I feel this describes me very well. I have always been outgoing and have not had a problem with speaking my mind. Being older now, one of the stories older family members tell me all the time is how outgoing I have always been. Whenever my sister and I were introduced to someone new, I would walk right up to them and start talking. I was famous for saying “Hi I’m Paige and this is my sister Brittany.

I thought about the future in terms of four years and also how getting to go to college and getting a degree would help me in life as well. This thought of the future made me work so hard in high school to get me where I am today. Even now in college, I work my hardest and do extracurricular activities that will help me with my future.

When I took the Verbal Immediacy Scale test, I thought I would pass it with flying colors because I’ve always been really good with how I approach certain conversations and how I talk to individuals.
