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 lets people know what you're feeling, although it may not do anything they may be more aware of what you're feeling. Another reason is to provide space for a future productive discussion.
