Effective Communicator

I think that in many ways, I embody the sense of an effective communicator. I have always been good at communicating with the people around me to get my schoolwork done, as well as extra curricular activities like tennis and football. Over the past few years I have worked hard to be a better collaborative worker, and have done a pretty successful job at it. But what really makes me an effective communicator is the sense of leadership that I bring to my classroom environment and work groups. I have always been good at organizing my group when they are off task, and letting them know what needs to be done to get a good grade and do quality work on the assignment or project that was assigned to us.
Another way I have proven myself as an effective communicator is through sports. I played football for my freshman and sophomore years in high school, and tennis for the past three years, and was named the team captain this year. While playing sports, you have to keep constant communication with your teammates, especially in doubles tennis. I have to constantly know where my partner is and he needs to know where I am. We need to communicate to each other about who is going to get the ball once it comes over the net. Although this may seem like a simple task, it is actually much more difficult that it seems. I think the two of these things show that I have mastered the effective communicator ESLR.
