Persuasive Ability
The skill I have choose is persuasion skill. Having a persuasive power or ability might not be so easy as one might thing as sometimes we turn to make people to do things for us without their wish which is quite different from persuasion. Everyday in my life I interact with people and at certain point in time I got myself into situations where I have to use my persuasive ability or skill in other for me to achieve my goals. Firstly when I am persuading somebody, I always engage the person(s) in question from the beginning of the conversation because the whole conversation will play a vital part in other for me to successfully persuade my audience. Furthermore, I do not try too hard to persuade because I understand that some people

    Refusal skills is very important to know. Verbally just say a direct "No." Don't go along with someone because they're your friend or because they say it'll be fun. Nonverbal behaviors would be checking your body and mind for clues on how you feel. All of these things would help you to become a better person. Don't be afraid to try any of these interpersonal communication skills. Advocacy is being persuasive, taking a clear stand for a healthy choice, using information to support the choice, explaining why the stand taken is a good choice, and showing conviction about the message.

    I have been made aware of your plan to build a beneficial facility for young people in Chino Hills. Please read the following letter that will explain to you that building a youth activity center would be most beneficial to our wonderful city. Many may say that no one would come to the James Larson Youth Activity Center because of its membership fees, but any child who cannot afford the fee because financial problems in their family can submit their information and will be able to attend the facility. All the membership fees collected from the facility will go towards the facility itself, and to pay for certified workers. A few reasons the youth activity center should be built are, the center will be a great place for students to get tutored afterschool, in the long run, improving their state-standardized testing scores, building the James Larson Youth Activity center will also be a great place for youth to get involved in their community, volunteering all around the Chino/Chino Hills area, and finally, the James Larson Youth Activity Center will have many facilities and a variety of activities for youth to participate in, preventing them otherwise spending their time elsewhere, getting into trouble.…

    Presidential candidate Mitt Romney is my choice by far compared to our last president. Romney would be my choice for these reasons: his coal support, his Christian ideas for America, and his plan for lowering gas prices for our country. Romney has continually seen what things need to be done and how to do them to make our country strive. President Obama’ s plan has been attempted but not successful in anyway. We are in a bigger debt now than when he came into office. Obama care is okay for the upper and middle class, but if you make between 20 and 35 thousand dollars a year you have to pay for the healthcare some how.…

    When I was younger I always thought that I would just wake up one day and I would be “grown up”, by grown up I don’t mean a certain age or height, but a time in your life when you have to be older and more mature than the people below you, to set a good example for them. That day never really seemed to come, even though I was the same age as some of my childhood heroes like Nick Freer, Steve Hicks and Shane Teirney when they were covering the front page of the Herald Palladium, I didn’t feel like what they looked like when I was younger, at least not until a couple of months ago. I was going to basketball after school just like every other day last spring and after we shot for a little bit and then we chose teams for a few open gym games, and a seventh grader that I had never seen before was picked and ended up being on my team. I had never seen this kid before so I went over and asked him what his name was and he said “Conner” and so I introduced myself only to be given a look of dumbfoundedness, at first I wasn’t sure why but then Conner said “well everyone knows who you are”. I was taken back again and then realized how big of a deal going to the Breslin was, not just for everybody on my team, but for every young “Michael Welch” out there who ever idolized the players of a great team. After feeling incredibly cocky and good about myself I started to realize what a responsibility and privilege it was to have a large group of young boys looking up to me and trying to be “like Mike”. It is a responsibility because I have to set a good example for all those kids who would probably rather do what is say or do than what their own parents might say or do just as I would have done when I was younger. That is why it can be such a dangerous thing to be the idol of a child, because any temper tantrum or practical joke I do is a good example for that kid to do the same. Even though I may think that It’s okay for me but not for that kid or that I’m old enough to do something…

    The Jicarilla Apache Nation does a large amount of hunting for the people of the tribe. For some families this is the only way they, can receive meat. They also have rewards on some predator animals such as coyotes, mountain lions, and bears. Tribal members can go out to collect bounties on these predators.
