I achieved the communication core competency by teaching a class about the physics of sailing, a topic I was confident in because of my background in Scouts. Through years of scouting, I gained experience leading activities, speaking in front of groups, and explaining ideas in clear and simple ways. When I presented the sailing lesson, I used those same skills speaking clearly, using examples. My time in Scouts gave me the confidence and strategies I needed to communicate effectively in a classroom setting. I think that I achieved this by speaking clearly even though there were some times where I did get lost, but it did not stop me from talking proudly about my subject.
