As I walked out of the courthouse and down the ramp, I looked at my mom in disappointment and embarrassment. Never wanting to return to that dreadful place, I slowly drug my feet back to the car. I wanted to curl up in a little ball and I didn 't want anyone else to know what I had done. Gaining my composure, I finally got into the car. I didn 't even want to hear what my mom had to say. My face was beat red and I was trying to hide my face in the palms of my hands because I knew what was about to come; she was going to start asking me questions, all of the questions I had been asking myself. Sure enough, after a short period of being in the

From the Communicative Competence Scale given, I have learned how much comfortable I am communicating with those in my surroundings. I have been communicating with various groups of people due to the experience from my job as I am a current Lot Associate at the Home Depot as my job consists of helping and communicating with customers if any assistance that they need for them to make their trip easier. Before, I use to have my arms or legs shaking whenever I have to present or when I am around others who I am not acquainted to, but I was gradually able to feel more relax as I present myself toward others no matter what environment I am in.

I have learned that communication competency is the ability to be both effective and appropriate. This is a good reminder to be conscious of how you go about discussing certain things. After reading section 1.3 I realized I communicate with too much appropriateness that I don’t always get what I hope to achieve out of some conversations. With this, I think the most important characteristic of a competent communicator is the ability to perform skillfully. This would also be the one characteristic I could use improvements on because I choose the appropriate way to communicate, but don’t always perform the behavior effectively. Those who can both communicate effectively and appropriately fit the definition of a competent communicator. My question

I opened the doors and walked into the building where a young, peppy lady sat at the wooden desk in front of me and excitedly greeted me saying, “Hi! Can I have your name please?” It was the day of my driving test and my nerves are getting to me more than ever before. The words “Andrew Tenore,” came out in a sputtery mess. “Thank you, take a seat. Goodluck!” she called. There was a couple other people waiting with me, all with the same blank, distressed face as myself.

My nerves had settled more because I knew what to expect based on my past experience. The proctor was a kind lady, older than the previous one. When she climbed in, she spoke to me with respect and joked with me. I started a bit nervously, but after she joked with me and made the environment comfortable, the nerves faded. Unlike the man before, this lady gave me the feeling that she was not only testing me, but also wanted me to pass the test. I continued with the test and the outcome exceeded my previous attempt. My driving was almost perfect and only one mistake was made. The lady told me to park after we had completed the course. As she tapped repeatedly on her tablet, I watched her patiently. She glanced at me and realizing that I had been staring at her intently, she said, “Oh, you passed.” Filled with joy I thanked her as she gave me the documentation to receive my license. I ran to my proud mother who knew the outcome of the test based on my expression and me shouting, “I passed!” across the parking lot. It was all too surreal. Just moments later, I was holding a plastic shiny license with my picture on it and driving home from the MVA
