Week One: 7 Habits: Task1 & Task2

Task One
I need the most improvement on skill #7, which is Realizing Importance in Communication. I have no problem with speaking well but when it comes to writing well I’m not an expert. I always want to send a positive message to everyone when I leave an area, but if writing is required it leaves me feeling nervous. I always try and think of proper words when writing an important letter or assignment but I never quite accomplish that task. If I had a different mind of vocabulary, I think it would help tremendous.
I need to learn to find different ways to express simple words and make them more accurate for the topic I’m doing. For example, if I’m writing a business letter I need a lot of help in thinking of words to impress the reader. I know that writing isn’t always the best way to make a good impression but its one. You should always want to send a positive message without speaking, but that seems to be my weak area. If I could learn to focus more on the situation then I think I could get a lot out of what I’m doing and that would mean my writing skills I know it would help me a lot at Classic City High School.
Task2
Be a Leader, Not a Follower- Make someone want to look up to you and your achievements in life and not the negative aspect of life
This would be a positive contribution to Classic City High School because every student should want to be a role model for someone else, whether younger or older. I would always want to have someone look up to me. This would help in class because if you are accomplishing great goals others around you would want to do the same. Its a good task for every age group who wants to be somebody special one day.
