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.
