Call on Me

Public speaking had always been a struggle for me. Working as a hostess for a restaurant requires taking phone calls and engaging in conversations with customers. Knowing I had to take their order by phone made me a bit anxious at first. It is something scary to do, but it is also very simple with practice. In order to complete a successful phone call order, one has to answer the phone and greet the customer, ask for their contact information and location, take the customer’s order, ask for…

people ask and are often answered with an excuse that will never overpower the fact that death has a potential occurrence in this situation. A text message is not worth your own life or the life of anyone else. People may say, “It will not happen to me” or “I have it under control.” If it were under control, we would not have several deaths over this little…

technology on a daily basis. If I take a moment to look around me I am able to observe these wonderful advantages. Some few examples are when I observe people connecting to their social media and staying in touch with friends, self-serve cashier machines at Wal-Mart, television screens at gas stations, and projectors for classroom presentations. Information technology benefits me in several ways that can help me prepare, aid me, and help me succeed in the prospering future. Technology has…

inundated with work that I bring it home with me, and by the end of each week I am exhausted (Wickman, 2011.) Clarity breaks also help with creativity, productivity, and decreasing stress associated with work, setting a good example for the team at…

damage, or harm. I sometimes wonder if this just means physically or does in include emotional wounds. Not saying that I have been scathed by anything I have been through or conquered, I’m just wondering. The definition of a combat veteran, according to me, is a beer drinking, flag flying, barbequing American. It isn’t someone who struggles time to time with where he has been and what he has done. I day dream frequently about choices that I have made and how outcomes could have differed if said…

should answer the phone. He decided that he should just leave it alone, but for some reason he felt like he was mysteriously connected to the phone calls. Suddenly, Smith blacked out and became unaware of everything. A few hours later, Smith was woken up by Agent Nelson and some of his coworkers. He was extremely confused, but then he remembered the phone calls and wished that he was still asleep. Agent Nelson asked him questions, but Smith just mumbled something about not feeling well. He…

also leaves you imagining the worst. I was excited to immerse myself into my courses, and gain enlightenment, and satisfied my curiosity. I was looking forward to meeting my professors, who I expected to fully sate my hunger to learn, and also leave me wanting to further investigate my passions, both known and unknown. Not to mention, I would be studying in New York - a bustling place, characteristically different, and refreshing compared to my home state of Maryland. I was faced with an…

Two of the wisest women I know, my mother and my grandmother. Both have imparted much wisdom in me. My mother has shown me the best life to have, is a life filled with humility. My grandma, my first best friend, has shown me what it means to love others without judgment. Throughout my interview with my mom, she kept justifying that she uses her cellphone for communication. After every sentence, it was…but I use it to communicate with friends and family. I think she made a very good point here,…

An inspector calls: a critical evaluation By Wiktor Wojdyla In this evaluation I will be looking at two contrasting characters in “An inspector calls” and how J.B. Priestly uses that to make us feel sympathetic for them. An inspector calls is a play written in 1945 by J.B. Priestly. It is set at the begging of the 20th century (1900-1915) and has themes surrounding responsibility, class, age and gender differences. There also different types of contrasting characters such as Eric and Sybil…

Having Get Gussied Up as my community partner has made me realize how important it is to distinguish the different audiences and understand how to communicate with specific audience members. A business could not be successful without proper communication with customers, employees, and business partners. With the help of manager, Haley Spreen, I have analyzed the messages, methods, and visuals of Get Gussied Up. Get Gussied Up and its employees focus on making sure they communicate to their…
