Inspiring New Possibilities

The speech classes that I took at MPC helped me become a more critical thinker, confident public speaker, and effective team player. I truly learned to appreciate the impact words can have and, as a result, choose my words much more carefully in my everyday life, whether that is in the academic environment or my personal life.
