"What skills do you need to be successful in College?"

There are number of skills need to be successful in College and in life. Some of those skills can include writing, effective communication, and listening skills. These skills are universal and can become transferable in and out of work and school.

As I learn more and more everyday attending my classes writing is the most imporant skill you can have. It can inform, persuade, entain, and express yourself. Writing reports for your boss or your teacher shows additional skills such as organization, quality of work, and effective communication.

Communication includes oral, written, and body language. Everyday you communicate with your tone of voice. May it be high pitched, low, or soft it allows your listeners to understand your point of view. Such as being passoniate, sad, or even happy with any topic that you are discussing. Written communication is also a must via e-mail or just an office memo having a well organized subject is also another way to get your point across with any subject matter.

Listening is also a transferable skill that you can take anywhere you go. This also you to show your speaker that you understand what they are saying.

Again writing effectivly, communication, and listening skills are transferable in college as well as in life. Having these skills are essential to successed in life. Do you think that you have these skills to prepare yourself for College or work life?
