About Building Strong Communication Skills
This three-hour three module course will introduce you to the basics of effective communication. One of the main reasons this course is important is that once you enter high school, the choices you make will impact your immediate adult future. This means, if you chose to not study and do not take your education seriously, you options for technical school, vocational school or college will be limited or unavailable. With these academic options, you will have the chance to earn more money to provide for yourself and your future family. If you make bad decisions, you will have fewer choices and the path you will need to take to correct those mistakes will be challenging. Be smart. Choose your future over good times with your friends.
By possessing good communication skills, you will be able to solve problems effectively. Also, you will learn how to say "no" to things you believe are wrong because you will have confidence. With confidence, you will have the self-esteem to know that you are wonderful and capable of anything! Don't limit yourself or your dreams!
