Eloquent language

The way a person speaks caries an enormous amount of weight in our day to day lives as we navigate from one social setting to another. For me how I speak and am spoken to affect my attitude throughout the day. I try to make sure that I am in the appropriate mode and consistently carry myself in a manner that is as well put together as my outfit for that day; or in some settings as stylish or eloquently stated.

However affected by my environment my goal is always to be articulate. This is something I have learned that is just as useful as any accessory. A well spoken statement that incorporates forethought and communicates your ideas well leaves a great impression. That being said I do not feel like the way I speak is affected by my friends. Sure, I don't speak  with my friends in a casual setting as I would with my boss or even with my family. I tend to change modes or code switch, based on my environment while still maintaining a level of sophistication. It’s just not in my personality I have always been known as a walking thesaurus amongst my friends I would rather be known for my vocabulary then have some special code with my peer group.

  1. I also understand how someone that has spoken to you can affect your attitude because they could have said something disrespectful or inappropriate that made you mad.
