<p>I'm going to be a junior next year and I don't have many plans for the summer. I'm planning to prep for classes/tests that I will be taking next year, mabye do some research, volunteer at the library, and that's mostly it... I want to become a better public speaker and develop strong time management, leadership skills.</p>
<p>There is an oral/communications course at a local community college but it is 4 times a week, 3 hrs per day for 4 weeks... Also, what if I get a bad grade in it? What will colleges think? I'm just scared of taking courses at a CC and doing bad since the time is so short and you barely have any time to consume the information. What will colleges think of me taking a speech class anyways? That I'm not a good speaker/communicator?</p>
<p>Would it be better for me to explore other options to develop those skills? I could try to find more volunteer opportunities right?? What do you guys think is the best method into developing those skills I listed above? What do you guys think I should do to make the most of my summer? Thanks for your advice/opinions!!</p>
