All of these tests really opened my eyes on some topics involving communication that I am really good at and some that I really need to work on. 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.

I have a ton of friends, that support me. My friends know my strengths and my weaknesses, and they could tell you that being shy is not one of my weaknesses. Because I…

To be completely frank with you, this class was a challenge to me. Although this class did have some similarities to my twelfth grade english class, the differences were unfamiliar to my sense, but I am glad I faced it in this semester. A big challenge that I had to face this semester was asking for the proper help I need to improve my writing, and participating in class. I do admit, I never truly faced the challenge of participating in class as much I expected to. Although, I did ask for help,…

I like to be alone sometimes, but I…
