Essay: Write a 3-part assertive statement to a friend who keeps making plans with you and then cancelling at the last minute.
Student Answer: Listen, I know we are both fond of each other and are great friends. I am sure that you want to hang out at some point. However, when you cancel last minute it hurts my feelings and it makes me feel like you do not respect me or our friendship. So, if you do not want to hang out or cannot make it, just tell me. I would rather you were honest with me or at least cancel sooner so that I would not be stuck waiting for you, hoping you would come and we could hang out. |

Essay: When you choose to be assertive, you won't always get everything you want. With that in mind, why should you still choose to communicate assertively? Provide two reasons.
Student Answer: You should still be assertive because this world is a hard place and sometimes, you are your only advocate. If you do not advocate for your needs, they will sometimes go unheard. In addition, assertiveness helps you simplify your life via winning you jobs because assertiveness lets you express emotions healthily, instead of bottling them up. |
