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: Hey, it hurts my feelings when you make plans and then cancel on me. Due to my busy schedule it is difficult to plan on something, only for it to fall through.

Thank you for taking the time to listen to my concern. |
