LIKE ANYTHING
IN LIFE, A PERSON GETS OUT OF THIS CLASS WHAT HE OR SHE PUTS INTO IT…
TO SUCCEED ONE MUST PUT IN THE TIME
AND PRACTICE; THIS GOES FOR WRITING AND COMMUNICATION AS WELL. THE MORE A PERSON PRACTICES READING AND
EDITING HIS OR HER OWN WORK, THE FASTER HE OR SHE WILL LEARN.
TAKE
RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOURSELF AND DON’T SHORTCHANGE YOUR FUTURE – THIS IS REAL LIFE - WITHOUT GOOD READING, WRITING,
AND COMMUNICATION SKILLS YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MISUNDERSTOOD OR ONE STEP BEHIND.
