Organization skills are very important because the tasks of life run a lot easier when you know where to find something as opposed to stressing out over finding something in a mess. Teamwork is also an important skill I have learned, when you do something as a team, you can get it done faster. Through cooperation, a team can do just about anything. Out of all the life skills I have learned, discipline has been the one that I have benefited from the most. I have acquired a lot of discipline through drill and ceremonies.
How are the Birlings presented prior to the Inspectors entrance in ‘An Inspector Calls’? In the beginning of the play the Birlings are having a family dinner to celebrate the engagement of Sheila, Mr Birling’s daughter and Gerald Croft. The Birling Family come across as your average middle-class family; Mr Birling, a wealthy business man who owns a factory; his wife, Mrs. Birling who is a social climber and is very concerned about her appearance; Eric, Mr Birling’s son, who is quite uneasy; Sheila, Mr Birling’s daughter who is being engaged to Gerald and Gerald who is the son of one of Mr. Birling’s business rivals. Mr Birling is a self-made industrial businessman who shares capitalist values; you can tell this from some of the things he says. He is very business orientated as even when he is meant to be celebrating his daughter being engaged to her love he sees the benefits it will have for his business.
Running head: Check Your Perception Jamie Schee Module 3, Assignment Grand Canyon University Com 101 Instructor: Calvin Habig September 20, 2009 Check Your Perception Many of us go through our life going on our first interpretation of another individual(s), and there are times when our assumptions are accurate, but there are also some instances when these assumptions are wrong as well. In the text book ‘Looking Out looking in,’ Ronald B. Adler and Russell F. Proctor give their readers a great insight on how we perceive others and ways or steps we as communicators can use these techniques to a greater advantage. Perception checking is a great technique and tool we can use to progress our communication skills. I want to begin with the three steps of perception checking. According to Ronald Adler and Russell Proctor, “A complete perception check has three parts: A description of the behavior you noticed At least two possible interpretations of the behavior A request for clarification about how to interpret the behavior” (page.106).

My friend approached me and said "Hey, tonight we are having small groups at our church, would you like to go with me?" I was very skeptical. I didn't want to jump into anything too fast, but I agreed to go with him. They had been watching a movie called "To Save a Life." This movie; this night, is what was the start of something truly amazing.
I have read Amy Tan's essay, "Fish Cheeks," where she talks about her cultural background, how they used to celebrate Christmas Eve and what kind of food they usually have on the dinning table, compared to Americans that have some breads, pasta, roasted turkey, and wine; how her family and relatives behave every time they celebrate holydays, when her parents invite her American boyfriend, Robert, and his family to have a dinner at house on Christmas Eve; and how Robert reacted, and what he would think after that dinner in their house. I can say, Amy expect the worst that night, where she was not sure what her mother was trying to prove, why her mother preferred to have a Chinese dinner with Amy's favorite foods on the table, rather than an American dinner would suit Robert and his family's appetite, and also why her mother invited Robert and his family to a holiday dinner where all her relatives were there and behave badly even when they were in front of other guests. Amy's mother understood her feelings, and knows that Amy is ashamed of what happen during the dinner with Robert and his family, so after the dinner, her mother handed her a beige tweed mini-skirt, which every “American” girls wore, so she didn’t have to be ashamed because she didn’t wear what other American girls wore. Amy and her mother knew that whatever she wore or ate, she couldn't change her reality. She was still a Chinese girl, with Chinese culture.

Nearly three years ago, my husband and I got married in California. Our wedding day should have been one of the happiest days of my life, but instead, it was incredibly bittersweet. Just eight days before we were married, my mom, my daughter, and I were involved in a car accident in which my mom lost her life.
