How I Communicate

        On a daily basis we all communicate in many different ways. Anything from a text message, to an email or expense report. These are just a few ways I communicate through writing. My work requires me to be able to communicate with others around me in a professional manner. I must write, and respond to emails indicating the sales and profitability of my location on a weekly basis. When redirecting bad behavior and praising good behavior in my employees, I must be able to document these encounters in a professional way. I often give important information on our services and pricing to our customers.

        Writing is most definitely a part of my day to day life. Without the skills I have, and will learn, I would not be understood quite as clearly. The level of respect I receive from others in the workplace would not be as high. The information in my reports would not be valued. On a personal level, I would be embarrassed to have others witness poor writing and grammar with my name on it. Even in a silly text message or social media post.

  1. Thank you for sharing, Michelle. I look forward to your perspective this Spring! Yes, I would be embarrassed too (even on social media/ texts). I always spell out everything and tend to use none or very sparsely the (lols, :)'s , etc...). I know, nerdy. I was always taught to present yourself professionally though.

    I like the highway/ cloud template...but ;) ...

    Try to make your blog unique. Think of hobbies, something about yourself that makes YOU YOU...and make your blog show that aspect of you off :) Be sure to check out (add all) and comment on a couple of other students' blogs as you are posting before next Thursday.

    Make sure you let us know what pages were helpful while you were writing your rough draft of essay #1 and how it is going, along with your perspective on tattoos before Thursday!

  2. Michelle, you have not done the second blog (was due night of Peer Review). Thank you for updating your profile. Maybe add some pictures or something to make it more unique though :)

    I've already expressed that this is an important percentage of your final grade and cumulative. Make sure you catch up by the time the third blog is due (I'm assigning tonight). I would rather you get partial credit than zero.

  3. I made a second blog on Feb. 5th. Is there something I did wrong and you can not see it?
