Part 1. How I tend to be persauaded on a interpersonal level is through relationship with the other individual. Its more likely to allow someone who is close to you to persuade you than a stranger. You tend to make descisions based on the relationship than what is being said.
Part 2. Communicating with family and friends can easily be persuaded by the relationship with that somebody. It is more easier to communicate with family and friends than a stranger. You have history with your family and friends, thats makes its easier to communicate. Communication is different depending on the relationship and how close you are to that certain person. My point is the closer the individual is to you in relationship it could mean the better you will communicate with each other.

1st Speech Exp

Part 1: My first speech experience is one that I will definitely remember. The first word that comes to mind is "wow". I was so nervous but overall I enjoyed it. I am thankful for the information that was provided to me to help prepare for the speech. It was certainly very helpful. I've had the oppurtunity to speak in front of people on many occasions and I love doing it. Having the tools and the experience that this class is offering is exactly what I need to be even more successful at public speaking. I chose my topic based on my personal lifestyle and also what is very important to me at this time. The African American church is a major part of my life, so it was enjoyable to speak about it. The outine draft and the advice of my professor was definitely a great help in preparing for this speech. The preparation tools are something I will always use in prepartion for future speeches. I think I was prepared on speech day. I engaged the listeners. I need to work on speaking more clearly and pronouncing my words with clarity. Overall, I believe I did well and I am looking forward to the next speech.
Part 2: The reason it is important to speak to small and large groups of people effectively and comfortably is so they may hear and understand your message clearly. No matter the topic or the reason for speaking it's very important that your listeners can hear you understand you. The speaker's clarity of speech is key to the success of the speech.

Who am I?

Who am I? I am Adrian Ray Davis a native of Orlando, Florida who is currently pursuing an A.A. degree at Valencia Community College. Upon graduating from Valencia Community College, I hope to attain a Bachelor’s degree in Business and ultimately a Master’s Degree in Divinity. I will be the first in my family to be a college graduate. It is my hope that Valencia will serve as a stepping stone for that ultimate goal. Despite recent challenges, my motto is onward and upward. 

      I am a minster at a church. I have the opportunity to preach a sermon at my church on a monthly basis. This experience has forced me to clearly define what communication is. It is my job as a minister to study and understand the word of God and then to take what I have learned and explain it to the congregants of my church and most importantly to the youth of my church. This is the simplest and clearest definition of communication. Sharing ideas, concepts, ideologies, thoughts and knowledge with others.

     In the Christian faith, I have learned that it is my duty to tell people about Jesus Christ. Being able to communicate is the life raft to some of those who do not know Jesus Christ as their savior. My words are sometimes the only bible people will read, or see, or hear. Communication plays a vital role in life as it is the only way that I can effectively help save souls. I rely on my communication skills daily.  I try to listen to other preachers share the word of God so that I can be a better communicator as it is the core of my job as a minister and my mandate as a Christian.
     Perceptions are formed by our senses what we see, what we hear and what we observe.  My perceptions are usually formed initially by what I see. I think all of our first impression perceptions are formed that way. Unless we don’t have the opportunity to see anything then our perceptions are formed by other things such as the company kept or the writing structure of an email or the post on a facebook page.  This forms my perception of a person or a situation. 
     I am a 32 year old African American Christian male, I have two daughters and one son. I did not grow up with a real relationship with my father. So I try my best to be great father and not make the same mistakes my father made. All of these things make up how my perceptions are formed. For example. the way I interact with my kids shows how much I missed my father when I was child. The perceptions I have of my father has a great impact on how I treat my kids.
