A life experience that has prepared me for college is communicating with other people. Working in an environment where you constantly have to communicate with others, it’s stressful and sometimes it can test the ability to be respectful and to keep your composer. Communicating with others can be difficult because of the different types of personalities. And sometimes things can be misinterpreted. It’s good to always ask questions to make sure the other person understands what you are trying to convey to avoid any issues.
