List your choices in an essay and write a short paragraph about why you chose that self-esteem booster.

In Part 2 of this assignment, you will analyze your communication style using pages 55-67 of your textbook which includes the Dominance Indicator Form on page 55 and the Sociability Indicator Form on page 58 to determine your communication style.
