My communication skills over the pass years have been at ease for me. In my life I haven’t been very social communicating around people. When I am giving a speech to a class, I feel confident.

That has been my problem ever since the first

Andrew Calhoun Paper 1 Famous people are not my source of influence. I look for a more personal connection with someone I actually know for inspiration; not some person or celebrity that I have seen on T.V. or read about in a book, because who really knows what famous people do or have gone through in their lives.

The Camping Trip of ‘05 Summer, a season that can mean various things to different people, but to me it only means one thing: camping. To me there is nothing more enjoyable than being surrounded by nature with nothing more than the necessities to survive.

MY PHILOSOPHY Teachers and librarians often have a common goal: to educate the children they come into contact with every day and instill a love of learning into each student.
