Student Answer:  "I’ve noticed that we make plans, but a lot of times you cancel at the last minute." "I feel disappointed and unimportant when that happens because I look forward to spending time with you." "I need you to only make plans with me when you’re sure you can follow through, or let me know earlier if something comes up."
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 communicate assertively because it shows respect for yourself and makes sure your thoughts and feelings are heard instead of ignored. It also helps avoid bigger conflicts or misunderstandings since you’re being clear and honest about what you need.
