Should I take a community college speech class?

My school is offering a community college level speech class.
I am scared because I am bad at writing essays and public speaking. I want to take it so maybe i dont have to take it in college in the future if i pass. ( is it a general education class for universities?)
Also, i am a senior this year and i feel like it would look good on my college applications.

Should i take the class?

THANKS FOR THE ADVICE!!!
