Greatest Growth Statement

I grew in my communication in the 11th Grade through projects like the Business Communication Portfolio, the Psychology Chapter 1 Video, and the Chinese holiday presentation. Communication is an important quality to grow in because it is how one shares information with the outside world. I need to be skilled in communication because it will help me to quickly and efficiently express my ideas and information with others.

The Business Communication Portfolio helped me communicate professionally with others in a workplace because it includes a resume and cover letter. These documents are used in the real world to communicate the skills that I have, as well as my interest in a specific job. The Psychology Video helped me communicate with my peers because they were the audience of the video.  Making the video helped me to communicate clearly and concisely with an audience. The Chinese  holiday presentation helped me communicate with people in a different language and a different culture because the presentation was entirely in Mandarin Chinese. Most of Chinese 3 is about learning the language, both speaking and writing, but it is also about learning the Chinese culture and why certain things are said. Throughout my junior year at DRSS, I grew in my communication skills, both English and Chinese. The projects that helped me the most were the Business Communication Portfolio, the Psychology Chapter 1 Video, and the holiday PowerPoint presentation in Chinese 3.
