Activity # 2
Our unforgettable experience in high school. I had
lots of fun while doing this exercise because I remember all
of the fun memories I had when I was in Highschool. I told
him not only one memorable, but 3 of them because I can't
choose one unforgettable where in fact, all of them are
worthy to be treasured and they remain as a good memories
for me. Time flies so fast and now, I'm already in my
college. It feels like yesterday was my high school life
where there are a lots of fun, games, events, and dance
competition back then. Back to the topic, he told me that his
most unforgettable experience is when they won mythical 6
on the volleyball sports fest. He told me how tough the
training is because they need to be strong and trained well in
order to become a champion. He said that those days, they
we're so exhausted and tired but at the same time, it gave
him a lot of fun because he learned and improve his sports skills. He said that their
team is not just a team but with a family in their heart. They helped each other
whenever there are times of failures and weaknesses arises. Until the day had
come, they did their best wanting to win the game without any disturbance and
hesitation. He said that all of them are nervous that time but they set aside all of the
negativity just for the game. They focus and did their best shot in the game where
they said that whenever they win or loss, they are still a winner because they all did
their best. However, they failed the field demo but they didn't stop to achieve their
success. When the sports fest had come, they grab this opportunity to compete and
wanting to win this round. They didn't change at all but they are all eager to win.
After the game, it's unexpected for them to win a mythical 6 in volleyball sports
fest and it was a great memories for him that he will never ever forget.
Activity # 3

1. How effective am I as a communicator in a dyadic situation?

- For me, I'm good at communicating in a dyadic situation. I feel like I'm
comfortable with a person I am talking to, and I didn't even hesitate to
ask questions or initiate to talk about something. Sometimes, I'm quite
shy and I always think of what they're thinking whenever I am talking
with them but in dyadic situation, I often set aside all of those thoughts
and continue to communicate with them with respect and kindness.

2. How effective am I as a communicator in a small group situation?

- I'm quite effective whenever I'm talking in a small group situation. It's
quite comfortable because there are only few people that I am talking to
wherein I can think clearly and I can suggest my ideas in a small group.

3. How effective am I as a communicator in a public setting/situation?

- For me, I think I have a social anxiety whenever I'm talking or having a
communication in public because there are a lot of people surrounds me
that I always think what they are thinking. I often thought that they will
judge my appearance if there is something wrong in my face and my
whole body or the way I talk whenever I mispronounced some words. I
am so nervous that sometimes I didn't talk or initiate to share my ideas in
a public communication because of the tense that I always feel whenever
I'm in this situation. For me, my communication is fine but my anxiety
could never give me a chance to talk in public maybe rarely but not often.
Activity # 5

1. Now that we are under Community Quarantine where all are required
to stay at home and keep social distancing, what do you think is the best
communication practice even without seeing your friends up close?
- Now that we are under Community Quarantine where all are required to
stay at home and keep social distancing, what do you think is the best
communication practice even without seeing your friends up close? - the
communication practice that is very helpful in the midst of community
quarantine is talking with them online via video calls or messages. It's
boring if there we're no contacts with your friends at all because of
quarantine but thankful that there is messenger that I can communicate
with them easily. I can still communicate properly with them as well as
improve my communication skills even though we're not together. We
often play games wherein we open our mic to communicate with each
other which is also very helpful in communication skills.

2. What difficulties do you experience while communicating with others?

- My greatest enemy when I communicate with others is my thoughts and
my anxiety. Whenever I am talking with someone, I am not comfortable
or close with, I sweat a lot on my face and I didn't know what to say. I
sometimes gets nervous depending on the situation and I always thought
of what they are thinking about myself. I always stutter and sometimes, I
can't pronounce some words correctly wherein fact, I can do it in my
house simply.
3. When you have thoughts on your mind, like ideas or arguments, how
are you able to say and address it in someone?
- When there are thoughts, ideas and arguments in my mind, I will
organize my thoughts first and clear everything before I say it to someone
in order to avoid/prevent misinterpretation and argument. I often think
that these words will hurt him/her or these things will not help him/her. I
don't want to hurt someone using my words or from me just because of
thoughts that came up in my mind. I'm being careful and sensitive before
I speak up because all of us have differences when it comes to our
sensitivity.
