Topic 10 : Communication Skills

Assignment #1 - Blog Post
There are three types of communication:
1) Written:
letter: The problem with communicating with a letter is it might get lost and they may never receive it.
email: it might not get there or the person might not read it.
text message: The other person might not have signal or their phone could be turned off.

2) Verbal:
through speech: a phone call it can be a problem because it might have no signal or the battery might be low.
spoken word: face to face it might be a problem because they might be mad at each other and they might start fighting and start punching each other in their face.

Non-verbal:
Hug: it might be a problem because that person might not like to get huged and may think something wrong.
Blink: I've seen guys do that to girls when they want a girls attention so some girls don't like it I personaly don't like it cuz thats really annoying and lame.
Middle finger: its a bad way to communicate but a lot of people use it to express a very rude word.... but its a problem because it might cause a fight.

Assignment #2
im a very communicative person becasue Im very social with everyone. In my family I hug my family members to let them know I love them and I care for them. I also text a lot with my friends sometimes I prefer to text than to talk on the phone it all depends on the person.
I love to kiss my daughter and thats a way to communicate because I'm letting her know how much I love her even though she really doesn't understant much about that she's only 2.

In my service learning im very communicative with everyone i try to talk to everyone greet the people smile at them and do my best to make feel welcomed and well treated so that they can come back to shop there. I know that in a future I will succed in future jobs because im a very nice talkative person.

Topic 11 Cell Phone Etiquette

task #1
Well Im really into my cell phone I don't what I would do without it. the results of my survey were okay I guess it said that Iknow proper cell phone etiquette but that I don't always practice it. But I do sometimes likeif I'm in church I leave my cellphone in my truck because I really respect my parish. But if im at school or at work I just put it on vibrate or silent. I don't answere phone calls or text messages all the times. and I really do know when to use my cell phone and when not to so even though Im all into my phone I know how to respect.

task #3
Well as always I had a good day at my service learning place. My supposly boss which happens to be my uncle really never tells me any rules I have to follow but I know what makes him mad and I try to not make him mad. Like I know that if Im working he would get mad if Im texting so I don't do it. Or if Im working and I waste my time and their time talking to the other workers for a long time. so all those little things I know he doesn't like I try to not do. because I really want to be professional on everything I do.

Topic # 3 study skils

Task #1

Get to class on time
honestly im always late to class at least 5 to ten minutes late. I know its not ok to be late but it's really hard for me to be ready on time. I try my best to get ready fast but for some reason im always late. I will try to make it better because I know the importance of being in class on time. I will choose my clothes a day before and get all my stuff ready I'll try to wake up at 8:40 am to have a little extra time just in case. Im willing to put all I can to make to class on time.

Finish
I put my efford to get my assigments done and I almost always do. I do have to admit that sometimes I do get distracted with my friends not much but some. or If im at home doing work I easly get distracted with the tv. Maybe if I don't talk as much I can do better. So far I'm trying I believe im not talking as much as I use to in class because I want to finish my work faster I mean I still do but not much. Also if I can I put my headphones and listen to music so I don't get distracted by my friends or the conversation. By listening to music I get more constrentrated and not get distracted.
