Pursing a career as a medical doctor is an opportunity for me to mentor youth in underserved populations. As a child, I was raised in the low income, urban community of Roxbury, MA. Although not as notorious today, the neighborhood had garnered negative attention for its high crime rates. My mother emigrated from Haiti and raised me as a single parent. Due to our financial circumstance, Roxbury became our permanent residence. I have always felt there was something lacking in Roxbury in comparison to other towns I visited. My teenage years were largely spent in the suburban town of Stoneham where I attended high school. There was a literal difference in air quality and a psychology contrast in future prospects. While native students of

There are two main contexts in which we communicate; formal and informal. In the context of communicating formally we communicate using; Standard English, correct grammar, corrects posture, eye contact and good pronunciation. We often communicate formally when communicating with someone of a higher authority; this shows that you respect their higher position; this is more likely to be in a formal setting such as a work place or educational establishment. However when communicating informally we use different skills such as; use of slang (informal English), more relaxed posture and general chit chat. We often communicate informally when communicating with someone who is familiar e.g. a friend. This is more likely to be in an informal and relaxed setting such as in the playground or in town.

The date of the offense was July 19, 2014. It was a night full of mistakes and bad decisions, which I will never make again. The charges that I have been cited with are 1 Class B Misdemeanor (Driving under the Influence), 1 Class B Misdemeanor (Unlawful Consumption), 1 Class B Misdemeanor (Possession of Paraphernalia), 1 Class B Misdemeanor (Possession of Marijuana) and 1 Third Degree Felony (Possession). Since that night I distanced the people who were bringing me down in life and they ended up dropping out of my life as they only wanted to bring me down and I would not allow that any longer. Since the night of the arrest I have not participated in taking any narcotics or any illegal substances since. I have been extremely focused on my work and making

1.2From my own practice I can judge if an individual is struggling to hear or understand what I am saying, if so then I will see how I can make things easier by talking slower, clearer make eye contact make sure they can see my lips move maybe sit closer but not too close to invade their own space.

I always discuss subjects/issues with the young people judging on their level of understanding and their cultural background. I have to be mindful of their frame of mind at the time, when communicating with these service users. I have to ensure that the language that I am using is clear, as the young people are from various parts of the country; this is to ensure that I am not misunderstood or what I am saying is misinterpreted, as if this was to occur it could have serious

Interpersonal Communication Competence is defined as constantly communicating in a way that is effective, appropriate, and ethical (McCornack, 2016). When a person is communicating competently, they are following social norms, are able to accomplish their goals, and treating persons in an unbiased manner. In my paper I will be discussing my own interpersonal communication competence and the evaluations that I, and my close companions, have made about my ability to communicate proficiently. I will begin my essay by explaining what effective and appropriate communication consists of, and follow up with my argument on how effective and appropriate I am in my interpersonal relationships. As I continue I will examine my empathy and why I am strong in this aspect of communication, followed by my deliberation of my conversation management and why I am weak in this category and how I could possibly improve. As I near the conclusion of my paper I will focus on my interpersonal communication motivation, knowledge, and skills. After reporting my scores in each category I will reflect on my skills, my lowest score, and explore why I am poorest at this quality and how I can grow in my capabilities. Overall I am a competent communicator, but enhancements can be made in my conversation management, effectiveness and skills in order to build up my competence.

When using verbal communication in a business setting you should carefully plan. Be sure to know what purpose you have – whether you are informing people, providing a guide on something, persuading people of something, giving instructions, etc. With this in mind, be sure to be well informed on the topic in question as verbal communication opens up to questioning from others and you should be able to provide any relevant information. Also be sure to consider how what you are saying may affect those you are saying it to and consider this in your presentation of information. Then you need to deliver your content – be sure to make any greetings required and ensure people are settled and comfortable leading to open communication from all. Be sure

Give proper personal space: Different cultures have different norms regarding what personal space is public (in which other humans can stand and converse with you) and private (reserved only for your dear ones). For example: Arabs do not share the concept of "personal space" that Americans have. It is considered offensive to step or lean away while talking to an Arab! Make sure you create proper distance between others when you talk. If you're unsure, you can always ask the others what they

Before I respond I wanted to loop you in. These are the dates I will provide. Please let me know which dates will work for you, so I can present them to Nancy.

Personally, I understand the logic behind the claim that use of You-Statements might communicate a harsh tone and I-Statements might determine a willingness to take responsibility for one's own thoughts and feelings. Also, I have read about the different effects of using You-Statements and I-Statements so many times in my adult hood that I understand it as a fact in the field of interpersonal communication, and I tell my friends about You- and I-Statements every time we have conversation. Still, I wonder. In real life, my own emotional reactions to the two kinds of statements are not that different. When my sister tells me, I felt bad when I did something she didn't like," I feel basically accountable for her bad feelings, no matter how many

On my facebook friends list, I have realized that I am allowing people to see my personal life although I might not know them. When I saw this at first I asked myself why I had allowed my page to look like it did and not care about who I was allowing to be placed onto it. As I went through my friends list I began to realize that some of the people I dont even know and thats a scary thing when you think about the fact that you are putting pictures on there of you and your friends and tagging the location. So I then challenged myself to go through my list and clean it out and ill be the first to say that this was a long list and that I didnt know a lot of the people. Although I have all allowed them on there some of them are only people that I recognize, some I know from a place I met them, and some I wonder why I allowed them on there with the things they say online.
