Personal Narrative: I Am Trying To Communicate

It was the day the junior high volleyball girls played Madison Grant! They were the only team that we lose to last year.We were going back and forth and back. It was a really good game. Who won the biggest rivalry in Frankton JH?

Over my years of school, one big influence on me has always been sports. Ever since a young age, I have always enjoyed playing and watching sports. In my four years in high school, I have fell in love with the sport of lacrosse.

I woke up and took one bite out of my pop tart but that one bite was all I could eat. My legs were shaking, and my heart was pounding. My dad told me, “It is a true honor to even make it this far so go out there and have some fun.” Once I heard this statement, I knew I was ready to go. I arrived at school and boarded the bus. The car ride was an hour and fifteen minutes of hearing the squeaking of the wheel on the bus. My teammates were getting their heads ready for the big game.

I never thought of my life, at least as in a detailed way before this assignment. Before this assignment, I thought that it was easy. When I started writing my first journal was easy, but when I was going ahead with this journal the things were coming hard to put in. I didn’t know what to put or how to put it, so I decided to write the things how everything happen. I wrote six journals in total, which explain and say about my personal life. After reviewing all my journals I did a big reflection of my relationship, I couldn’t expect that my relationship was how I read it.

When I work as team, I has communication with other member so, it has several solution that can help to improve my communication to have more professional. The initially topics is meeting management. The beginning of working should planning meeting. Meeting divide into 3 parts are before, during, and after. In the part of before, I should know the purpose and role of meeting. During meeting, if it is face to face meeting, I should know agenda of the meeting and participants their role for easy to communicate about work. After meeting, I should sure that I and other team member understand the information of the meeting because I may discuss with other team member. In addition, after the meeting finish, I should prepare myself for the next meeting.

In American Culture its commonplace for someone to promise they “won’t tell a soul”,after hearing another person’s secret. This phrase is often uttered when the secret is negative. In cases of child abuse these words may not be uttered, but the child is left with the understanding that the incident isn’t to be discussed. The abuser may threaten to do further harm to the victim, if they tell anyone about what happened. In other instances the child may not want anyone else to know because they feel ashamed about the abuse; guilt, and betrayal are also common emotions experienced by victims of abuse. I know because over the past twenty-six years, I’ve experienced all of them. Although, my need to experience the unconditional

The summer of 2015 was the summer I moved for the first time in my life. Moving was a mix of emotions because after thirteen years I became attached to my bedroom and the looks of my house. The certain smells I would get when I walked through the door. Then, leaving that house that I have lived in and that bedroom I slept in for all those years was hard. It was a nice house and all, and I loved my room, but only a couple days later, I was already comfortable in my new home.

As I was scrolling down my pictures on VSCOcam, an editing app that has been my favorite for a few years not, it struck me yet again that one of my themes for this year was authenticity.

I did not think that it would be that difficult for children this age to count by 2’s. I saw that they were using their strategy to solve the total of points that they were gathering. Some were putting two sticks for every point while others were putting the actual number 2 all the way down and adding them as they went. I had a few kids write the numbers by 2’s for example 2, 4, 6, etc…. until they got to 20 points. I had a dotted line with the numbers right beside me but they never once looked at it to see what number came next. What I will do is try to make them count by 5’s or 10’s it would probably be more complex than counting by 2’s. I can provide objects that they can use to count and be able to record the information better.

I have demonstrated my strong communication skills, both written and verbal, throughout my career. Currently working with USAID/LPA, it is my responsibility to reach out to “Internal Communication Point of Contact” and update their information in the database. I have done some research about how to establish a good communication between missions, regional, and Washington D.C. and proposed an integrated plan to the Acting Deputy Assistant Administrator, and Internal Communication Director at Bureau for Legislative and Public Affairs. In my previous role i regularly liaised with different stakeholders to construct a meaningful project, and built a strong relationship with them. I also prepared and developed various training manuals, as well as

My weakness in this area is not having the confidence level to present my work publicly. The nerves starts to kick me. I begin to choke on my words and have shaky voice. I also mispronounce my words often and I don’t make eye contact with the crowd.

At a young age, I moved from the country I was born in (Dominican Republic) to Miami Florida. Moving is not an easy thing to do, I had to leave all of my friends and family behind and become familiarized with uncertain place. I was surrounded by the unknown, everything was strange and so different to what I was usually use to. At the time I could not speak any English at all but that eventually did not matter to me, I slowly started adapting to my new environment and I became more positive. Although I could not communicate well and had a few obstacles I was very organized with my studies and kept very decent grades.

From the time I was five to about nine, I was in the hospital every year at least three to four times for hurting myself.

Enrolling in this class is particularly important as my communication with my five teenage children have taken a dramatic nosedive since their father and I divorced.
