Counseling a Friend (Extemporaneous Speech)

It is important for us as Christians to realize that we are not the judge, God is. Our job is to love on those who are hurting and tell them about the incredible savior we have. It’s not for us to judge us on where they are at in their lives cause we don’t know their story, but God does. It is important for us as Christians to have a humble heart towards others because if we are judgemental towards those who need the love of Christ, it is only going to draw them further away from God. We live in a very broken world that needs the love of a savior. We all need Jesus as our savior and our job as Christians is to reach out to others with a humble heart and share the love of Christ with them that we have inside our

The number one thing most people fear is writing a speech and auditioning it publicly. Many people would rather die than to present publicly. Writing speeches to persuade people is not only a skill but art there needs to be a little bit of everything, The 3 common things in every persuasive speech is Pathos, Logos, and Ethos. Pathos is what appeals to the emotion or what tugs on the heart. Logos is something that has to do with statistics or logistics like financial cost and funding. Lastly, Ethos is using a credible source such as the former President John F. Kennedy. Analyzing JFK speech to fund NASA, I can take a look on how this 3 aspects appeal to a great persuasive speech.

First we should start up a conversation with them. Take time to ask them about their background, beliefs, interests, or other things of that nature. “Understanding a person’s worldview can help you to communicate with them better as well as help you understand what they believe and why they act in certain way.” (Gutierrez & Weider, 2011, p. 66) Make sure you are actively listening. After that, the conversation could be led to beliefs or common backgrounds.  At this point tell the person your beliefs in detail. Usually people are willing to listen you what you have to say when you are willing to listen to what they have to say.

I'm in my AP Physics C class, and as the teacher is explaining the solution to a problem, my friend sitting beside me says he does not understand anything. I can see why the teacher's solution is a bit counter-intuitive, so in an effort to provide the most detailed, comprehensive solution, I go home and write this solution, with diagrams and all statements numbered so my friend can tell me which statements or sentences are confusing. After I spend some time discussing the problem, he finally says, "I get it." Not only that - he is able to solve a very similar problem to the one I just explained.

Stop Talking, let them speak: Be sure to let your listener talk, and share their Ideas with you as well.

tell them they are wrong in believing so and that nothing is with them. Furthermore, in their

The school year approached its end. Another summer to spend alone by myself. The cycle had been repeating since I was in grade school. Sadness choked me as I returned home and shut my door. Every year, the resolution was the same: I would try to make friends next year; however, every year, I felt myself falling back down into the same trap. By the time high school began, I no longer felt the numb sensation of sadness or the flow of tears as the final day of May became the last day I talked with my “friends.” I no longer expected to make any friends, or, more accurately, I no longer expected to be able to make any friends. The sheer possibility of befriending an individual appeared to me as foreign as speaking in latin. When I walked into school, what should have been a site of chatter, opportunity, and growth appeared to me as a form of imprisonment and torture; however, unbeknownst to me, I did have friends; something of which I did not recognize until years passed by. I grown attached to certain conversations; there were times where I felt the need to initiate a conversation rather than waiting for someone else to make one. It was not until one of my friends told me,”We’re your friends aren’t we?” when I realized I was not longer

Don’t try to convince them they are wrong, but rather focus on the feelings they are exhibiting (which are very real to them) and respond with verbal/tactile expressions of caring, comfort, support, and reassurance.

On Thursday January 14, 2016. I was invited into a Counseling session by Ms. Sonya Hunt with one of her clients. The client’s name was Justice Mullins. Justice attends Central State University as an undergraduate student. The session was about an introduction of opportunities to have weekly sessions with Justice Mullins. The discussion of scheduling and purpose of counseling was

Instead of lying to their companions about what they think, they should give them their opinion. It could be negative or positive, but this allows the other person to realize how they should improve their personality. Friends should behave honestly toward each other instead of trying too hard not to hurt their feelings. Even in the case of different opinions, they should still stay honest. They should not lie in an effort to make their side or belief look better. Instead of giving their friend untruths, they should show them both sides to any belief: both the favorable and the opposing

In our lives, we're touched by many people with whom we come into contact in our daily interaction. Some of these people become our close friends and influence who we are. In this journal, I will speak about the closest friend I have.

Irene’s list of guidelines and common mistakes are really clear and helpful. Each guideline is a good reminder to reflect what a good conversation is all about. A conversation is a relationship, happening once in a life time, coming from our instincts, can bring out solutions or positive impacts, can bring inspirations, reflects present issues or situation, brings out clarification, and can produce positive changes.

Friends should support each other at all times. In anything friends do, they should respect each other's opinions and support each other. Not only must friends be supportive of one another, there should also be a sympathetic tone when needed. Friends should not only listen, but also understanding needs to take place, as well as help. When a friend is in need, you are waiting for him as he would be waiting for you. If a friend is not sympathetic and aware of your needs, then there is a weak friendship. Each should know his friend's goals, needs, and wants. If these things are not known, then there is a weak relationship. Friends should set goals together to help develop a strong relationship. They can even help each other along the way. One person's weakness could be another friend's strength. A person needs to be loved, and that is what a friend does. A friend needs to be respected as well as loved. Not only should a friend's needs be fulfilled, but also certain wants. A friend wants a person who will listen, love, and show respect, just as anybody would. A friend is also loyal and trustworthy. When friends talk to one another, it is known that the conversation should just be between them, especially if it is personal to either of them. Neither person should share any of the information with someone else. That is just like invading someone's privacy when you repeat something that a friend tells you without permission. You should be able to confide in and

As the end of the night approached us, I couldn’t stop thinking about how many mixed emotions I had about starting a whole new chapter in my life. I couldn't wait to go to college, meet all new people, get a degree so that I could start my career path, but I knew that meant I had to say goodbye to my two best friends, who were moving several hours away from me. This was one of the hardest things I had ever had to do in my life. We all cried a little, and then made promises to keep in touch, and then we were off into the real world! I was very happy to be at this point in my life, but I was scared deep down inside.
