Alexandria DeVaul's Communication Essay by Alexandria - February 2023 Scholarship Essay

The question asked was which soft skill do you think has the biggest impact on a successful education? I personally believe communication has the biggest impacts on a successful education. Everyone always say communication is key and I agree. I know some people who have heard it so much it just goes in one ear and out the other and they don't communicate. I know it is said a lot but I feel very strongly about it. I don't believe we could be successful without it.

During Coivd-19 we were all shut down and could only communicate through zoom calls and emails. When you apply for some colleges now they ask did you struggle with academics during Covid-19? and if so please explain how it effect your academic achievements. Why would they start asking that? I believe some students struggled so much because of different ways we had to communicate. I personally struggle with zoom classes because it is harder for me to communicate.

When we are in person and able to communicate and see each other and hear their tone of voice you can respond better and therefore get a better response back. It is easier to help one another. Students are doing way better now that we can communicate. If you are struggling it is easier to get in contact with a classmate. Once you can get help from a classmate you have both helped each other learn something. If we couldn't communicate with each other we wouldn't be able to learn. If our teachers didn't communicate we would get nothing done and we would get no help. Communication is a key part of educational success and we could not be successful without it.
