You as Communicator

Being a good communicator is a challenge for many people, including myself. There is always room for improvement no matter how successful you are at being a communicator, or anything at all for that matter. It is difficult to pinpoint exactly what it is that you are strong and weak at, but once you come in conclusion to what those things may be, the learning and growing process just begins.

I believe that I am an average communicator. Not too good, not too bad. I enjoy talking to and with people when I am in a situation that I am comfortable with. I tend to be the most talkative in my family, always trying to keep up a lively conversation. During class when I feel confident with my opinions, I love to open up and let everybody know. I feel that I am decent at writing, from what my past teachers and peers have told me. I enjoy writing, especially when it is something I find interesting. But a quality that I do have is that I can write about things that do not interest me, and still make it a good paper. I keep a journal and write in it when I feel it necessary. A more artistic way that I have found myself able to communicate in is in scrapbooking. It is a fun and different way to communicate with the people that are viewing your work. You learn how to design in more ways than just writing.

Mostly through school, I never thought that I was a fabulous communicator, and still don't! But it really helped my confidence when I would receive the compliments and praises from my friends, family, and teachers. I feel as though the strongest influences on me as a communicator are all of my teachers. They will never be biased, or scared to hurt my feelings, because they are there to teach me. As much as everyone hates being told what to do, what not to do, and how to do it, it really is the most beneficial things to know in order to become the proud communicator that you want to be.
