Re: My Introductory post

Hello Everyone!

My name is Kam Ip and I am a middle aged Chinese woman from Hong Kong. Since 2002, I have been a single parent of two children. My daughter is 23 years old who is a professional dancer working in Chicago. My son is 19 years old who is the sophomore in UC, San Diego. I transferred in this university last year and faced lots of challenges studying in class. My major is communication and the minor is business. For my interests, I like cooking the Chinese food, cleaning my house, and reading.

Although I have stayed in the United States for more than a decade, I still faced lots of difficulties when communicating with native speakers in this country. After taking English classes and communication classes in the community college, I finally find my confidence to keep on studying the communication in the university.

In this semester, the comm 141P, Small Group Communication is one of my communication classes that is also my first online class in this university. Because of the computer problems, I have tried every effort to fix and download some programs that can let me click in the "Blackboard" and send my introductory post to all of you. In terms of taking the small group communication, I want to learn how to be a good communicator to deal with people in the small group. After completing the class, I hope my communication skill either in the family or in a company can be improved.

Thank you,

Kam Ip
