Value of Communication

Tues. July 3rd, 2007

In my eighteen years of life communicaton has not always been my fortae. I can communicate some what effectively however, my thoughts often times don't match up with what I want to say. Many times I'm quick to speak without thinking of the consquences. This over the years has gotten better however, it still does need improvement. The person I communicate the most with is my dad. (Eric) I love my dad not only because he is my dad but, because he is very intellegent and helps me deal with every day issues that may seem small to him but in the world of christina are life or death. Our relationship has not always been this way, the summer of 2002 is when the communication opened up to new heights. My dad that summer broke his ankle and had to be waited on. Now, my dad is very independent and hates to be served, so he was less than happy with his situation. That summer I spent most of my time getting to know the dad that i had never known before. he shared things with me that opened up the lines of communication that had been cut short. By the end of the summer, i had the realtionship with my dad that i had always dreamed of. Now that i have this desired realtionship i can call my dad with the tiniest of things that bother me. Though many times , i call on situations i could possible handle on my own i still like to hear what dad has to say. he gives me tools that teach me to look at both sides before making any type of desionions. So if i get on my soap box, its just me finding my way. As far as communication with my mom and others its a work in progress. and it could take a long while
Until the next time remeber im not bossy im just opinionated
