At the start of the year, I have set a goal for myself to be a better public speaker. Specifically, I aimed to improve my eye contact, my speech fluency and have a louder voice while presenting. This was a challenge for me because although I have given speeches before, I have never given a formal speech that I would prepare for in English. From the start of the semester, I realized that even the best public speakers need hours of practice to give a several minute speech. I knew that if I wanted to
English 102 has taught me a lot about my writing. Becoming a better writer and pushing myself to the next level was my goal for this semester. Therefore, I learned how to use research to back up my arguments. We wrote many different essays based on different types of literature, which is something I had not done before. Initially, I had a few problems, but learned from those mistakes to become better at writing. I definitely have things that I need to work on in the future. However, looking back

We need more naïve idealists in our world! The more naïve idealists the better, and we should all try to make the world a little bit better, and increase, and we're all on a journey of just trying to get there. Arundhati Roy is an Indian writer, she said, "all we can do is fight specific wars in specific ways," so, you know, we're all trying to change the world, and with Gd's help, we're going to succeed, and our children are going to inherit a livable planet, and I try to maintain the faith, and
Shawn Anchor: The Happy Secret to Better Work Anchor’s presentation was about positive psychology. His focus throughout the presentation was that we need to reverse the formula for happiness and success. Anchor says that in our lives whether it is work, school, or home we follow the formula: “If I work harder, I'll be more successful. And if I'm more successful, then I'll be happier.” He is correct when he states that we put happiness far away from success. He makes it very clear that reversing
Being A Better Health Role Model and Consumer I feel it is very important to take care of yourself and a true responsibility to strive to be healthy. It is certainly something very personal, and that is what I really like about working towards this goal. There are not many short cuts and what you accomplish is usually measured in nothing more than hard work and proper habits. These habits are either natural to you or often times they are things that you have to acquire along the way. This

our fellow creatures at a level not currently realized. While I have little specialized knowledge of the demographics of college's student body, it's probably safe to assume several things. We are wealthier, more educated, better fed, drink cleaner water, and have better access to information than most people in this world. We all also live in a country where we can do many things more safely and readily than most can elsewhere. We can write, speak, or visit our state and federal representatives
The question of the day is how was Barbara Bileks English composition class and how it helped me better myself as a writer. The class overall was a very informative experience and I feel as I learned a lot. Whenever the class started I considered myself a mediocre at best writer and thought that I would never improve. However, Ms. Bilek taught me to become a better writer by using many techniques that I did not know existed. In high school, we were not taught how to write academically because to
The Better Business Bureau (BBB), the mark that we all look for when researching a business.

of a change for the better. We are the only ones that can be held accountable for the much needed change in this world. Most people are stumped when it comes to where and how to start to make these changes in the world. How do we even have power over what happens with the climate change and the nature of this planet? We are in fact the biggest challenge when it comes to fixing our planet. Often, when it comes to changing the habits we know so well, even if it is for the better we have trouble. The
so far is how to become a better writer. I did not think it could really happen to me. I did not think I could handle all the work. I did not think I could actually become a better writer. Some how after all the hours of writing, and putting effort into the papers that I wrote this semester, I became a better writer. I did this because I concentrated on two very important areas, with the attitude of, if I could just become better in those then I would become a better writer. With help from an
One of the main strengths that we found about the guy we interviewed is that he is a good counselor. He seems to be good at helping his employees better understand how they can do better at their job. According to the article, a good manager empowers their team and also does not micromanage their situations (Birkinshaw, 2014). The interviewee believes that coaching happens everyday. According to the textbook, coaches focus on helping improve the ability of their employees and that counselor’s focus
