I Had A Good Friend

I could not imagine how it was horrible to walk into a classroom without any experience of English. The first day of my fifth grade, I stood in front of the classroom door, looked around the room and saw the alphabet and numbers all around the board. Other students looked at me like I was an alien. I did not really remember my teacher names; however, I remember that we liked to called her, "Mrs. B". Mrs. B liked to read books out loud, after she read, we needed to write a summary and turn it in to her. After every reading, I sat there and saw

On the first day, I reached school at 8:50 and realized I still have 15 minutes till the school starts. I was very curious about the school since I didn't know anything that was going to happen. So I started looking at all the kids around me and how they were talking. I knew english, but I spoke very less since it was my second language in India. I started worrying about how things will work and when the school started I forgot which class to go to. I only remembered to go to green hall. I went inside and looked at the crowd in the hallway. I got worried because I didn't know how to recognize the teachers or to get to the right class. I saw Mr.Miller with his ID card on his neck so I went up to him and said "I don't remember my class sir," then he took me to Mrs. Steed's class. I got into the class and I didn't know anyone. Many questions

When I entered Glenbrook South High School for my first day of freshman year, I was not excited to be back in school and I was definitely not ready to learn again. I remember the first class I had was English. As I sat in English, I recognized some people from middle school, but most of the faces were new to me. The teacher, I forgot her name, was very nice and welcoming. She asked us to pull out our “Of Mice And Men” books and asked someone to read the first page out loud. One of the students began to read out loud, and I followed along. After the first page was completed, she asked for a volunteer to summarize the page. No one volunteered so she picked from the attendance sheet. She picked me. I got nervous because I had no clue what was

Good afternoon. My name is Andrew Braden and I am a student at Western Governors University. This presentation is for C132 - Elements of Effective Communication.

I was used to the typical small school so when I walked into this huge school I felt my stomach drop. The bell had rung for first period while I was sitting in the office waiting on my class schedule. The Counselor had assigned me to a student so she could walk with me to each one of my classes. As we walked to my first class the hallway was quiet like

On the first day my locker surprisingly opened on the 3rd try. After that I didn’t know what to grab so I decided to bring my binder and my book. Most people said to go to homeroom. Once I got there my friends motioned for me to join them. I didn’t know it at the time but the girl standing across the room, looking extremely confused, would become one of my best friends.In homeroom Mrs.

The first day was my favorite, I went to my art instructor and I saw a girl already by the teacher, and there was about 7 kids in that class, so it was real easy to make friends. We started talking and I found out she was from Paris. She was really nice and funny, and we had a lot in common too! She taught me a few things in French as well. There were two kids from Russia, California, Paris, and North Carolina.

the first time. I ate breakfast and got everything ready. I brushed my teeth, put on my backpack and head to the car. In the car, I was excited but nervous. We arrived at School and my parents and I talked and I left the car. For once, I’m glad I go to Japanese School on campus on Saturdays because If not, I would be completely lost and confused.

My first day at Elkhart High School started off like in any other school. I went to the office, picked up my schedule, and shook hands with a principal who smelled faintly of yellowed book pages. The

I was shy, and had no courage to face the students and communicate my ideas to the class. Nevertheless, being in this class has taught me a lot about how to interact with others. I have been able to learn how to interact with people using the crucial communication skills required. Now I can confidently stand in front of a class and present my ideas maintaining eye contact, ensuring there is careful selection of words, organizing ideas well bearing in mind that maintaining a good flow of ideas is equally important. Communication is a key aspect in social life and thus this experience was not just for academic purpose but it equipped me with an important skill in life. Developing effective communication has raised my self-esteem, which is an essential while facing the real

My first class of the day was a band. I was excited to go to that particular class because it was the only class middle school and high school students could take together. I opened the big gray door of steel and a tall, buffed, light skinned, brown eyed boy walked out of the door. His name was Justin Lynn Hibbler,

Public speaking is often avoided by those who have presentation anxiety, but understanding the art of communication including the parts of a presentation and the concepts that make up an effective speech can help develop confidence. Eloquentia Perfecta teaches the skills that are necessary to be an effective speaker and can be incorporated into life at Creighton as well as life after graduation in careers and relationships. Communications 152 pushed this concept and helped rid my fear of public speaking while educating me on the necessary components to communicate successfully.

Entering COMS 100 I had this alter ego that I would do exceptionally well because I’ve previously hosted events and public speaking was one of my strong suit. Even though the majority of the class took this course the previous semester and had the upper advantage because they knew what to expect unlike me. After presenting the self-introduce speech I felt that this course would require more work and dedication than I originally anticipated. Through the 16 weeks of being a part of COMS 100, I’ve learned multiple valuable lessons. First and most important, I had to cut off my ego. I could no longer use the excuse that I use to host silly high school events and say I’m a great public speaker.

My first day of eighth grade was a reassuring experience. Immediately after I was assigned my college I was worried I was placed in the average class, but as I stood quietly in line I noticed familiar bright students. My first class was english with Mrs. Brisko who told us two truths I can’t remember the lie and one of the truths even though it’s only been two days. One of her truths was that she loved country music. She then asked us to do the same with the three or four people around us. Since we were all a bit shy we wasted the entire time thinking about what to say. Once that was over Mrs. Brisko asked us what rules keep a classroom running smoothly. In the end we came up with a few rules, responsibility and respect. It was almost time to

Students should be required to take a semester of communications during one of their four years at highschool. “Public speaking course actually teaches you to become a better listener. In the class you’ll hear several different kinds of speeches about a wide variety of topics from people who may be very different from you.” (Massengale). Learning to be
