Then in many cases, the communication between the individual and I must be written down whether in a report or in a statement form. The written report or statement is read over by my Chief of Police and depending on the outcome could be handed over to the state officials. As for college, solid communication skills is also a key aspect in every area. My communication skills are being viewed on essays, discussions, and also as I am typing this very assignment section. There are many ways to improve my writing skills. I am studying the APA formatting located within our library, rereading more of my posts and assignments prior to submitting, and also taking every bit of correction from my instructor to better my writing skills. I have also downloaded the Grammarly.com …show more content…

    On the surface I think I am like most students: I take university seriously, I have my own visions for the future that I am determined to make happen, and I do not expect anyone to lead my way.

Previous experience has also given me a considerable amount of confidence in my interpersonal communication skills.
