Who Am I as a Communicator?
For my first test which is communication anxiety inventory my score and the others as well came with the same result which is “I feel a bit uneasy in some communication situation and somewhat more confident in other contexts. Communication does not seem to be something that you worry a great deal about.”  
For my second test which is verbal aggressiveness scale I scored differently from the others. My result is  “ is with little provocation, you might cross the line from “argumentativeness,” which attacks a person’s position or statements, and verbal aggression, which involves personal attacks and can be hurtful to the listener.” The other result is “I maintain a good balance between respect and consideration for others’ viewpoints, and the ability to argue fairly by attacking the facts of a position rather than the person holding that position.”
For my third test, which is listening to styles profile, I received different scores which is “Action-oriented you might be described as “business-like,” and you perfect clear, to-the-point communication that outlines a plan of action. Your efficiency is respected but may intimidate more sensitive listeners.” The others result about me is “People-oriented you are empathetic and concerned with the emotions of others. This listening style helps you to build relationships, but it can interfere with proper judgment because you tend to be very trusting of others.”  
I think for my second test verbal aggressiveness is in my personality but is different from what I scored, but the other persons’ the score shows my real personality characteristics. This will encourage me to continue what I am doing and improve my ability to attack the facts of a position rather than the person during the communication process. I really prefer to listen to others to reach more by the end of the communication rather than interrupt others which will end up to be a lack of communication.
For my third test regarding listening styles’ profile, both results are showing my characters during the communication by avoiding some details such as interference with proper judgment and not be very trusting of others. I can build on all results to improve areas that I need too.

    Interesting results. Were you surprised that you actually scored yourself harsher on verbal aggressiveness than others did when scoring you? Why do you think that is? Is there a personal schema effecting how you viewed that aspect of your communication style?

Meaningful NAEYC Ideals to My profession The Three Ideals in the NAEYC and DEC codes of ethics that are meaningful to my profession are. * “To recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and potential of each child.” Every child is a treasure. To look, seek, and dig out the quality values that every child has. Every child is capable of blooming in different timing which makes every child unique and special. As a teacher I deal with children based on their potential by nurturing and care with patience and love. Children need time to meet and know their ability and capacity of learning.         ** “To welcome all family members and encourage them to participate in the program.” Family is the key of love. When every family feels the need to be in the program to participate in different activities throughout the year that will lead and gain benefit and enjoy in the program. Every family member is a part of the program and to make it succe...

Access to healthy water Access to healthy water is vital to human life itself; so the impact it has on a developing child is of immeasurable size. In fact, a child with no access to healthy water will no doubt become sick. Once the body is troubled with an unhealthy source of water, it will lack the nutrients required for other organs such as the kidney, heart, and brain. Once these deductions become a problem, signals are sent to the brain to help dissolve these problems. However, if the brain is not able to focus on learning and development, the child will constantly fall behind in development and in other categories such as motor skills. An example of this comes from the country of Yemen, where fresh water is extremely scarce. In fact, only about 25% of the population has access to clean water; this means that child development is a huge struggle within the country. Although the conservative culture of the country inspires its children to be tough and to pursue education no m...

Global Fund for Children “ We support education from children’s earliest years to secondary school and on through university or vocational training.”    ( The Global Fund for children) The website has the same agendas in the field of education for the youth. Through working together to help end the lack of education, the fund focuses on beating poverty and similar issues through education. It sees education as a means of success, as we do here as well within the course. In order to be successful and be better off than their families, the children are provided with tools for education. Once this education is received, they can get out of the poverty and shambles they are currently in. For us, we can help students here do the absolute same. On the website, it says that “we advise, mentor and guide our partners”. This is a bit shaky because it does not look like this is a relationship of partners. Personally, this global fund is the hand on the top; the ...
