Think about the similarities and differences between how you and evaluated yourself as a communicator and how others evaluated you.

I do not consider myself as a good communicator, but I do get the points over to people what I want them to know. I have a problem with my speech and pronouncing my words correctly. The best communicating skills I have are being a listener. Sometimes I get too emotional and tend to jump in front when I need to be behind. Other people think that I am a good confident communicator. Because I get many comments after I, have done a speech or talk to the families during school period. I am an Evangelist, and I get to communicate with different people all of the time.

One thing that surprised me the most is when people come up to me and shake my hand/ or give me a big hug and say to my "O my I enjoyed you today.” Some of my parents say they enjoy communicating with me because I tell them the truth. I am an encouraging person I always like to find positive out of the worth situations. Because my dad’s always told me “Never speak evil or bad of anyone, If you can not find something good about a person, do not say anything about a person negative.”
