Kristine Sta. Rita

    In February 1993, a couple named Roy Sta. Rita and Sandra Mae Sta. Rita decided to make their second baby. After my mother carried me for nine months in her womb, on October 10, 1993 I got out from the dark and tiny place inside my mother's and I cried aloud and saw a light for the first time. I am very thankful to God that he gave me Life and also for my parents who brought me in this wonderful world. I have inherited a lot of physical attributes from my mother and followed the behavior of my father.

   Kristine Sta. Rita, loves to dance sing, act and explore. Dancing makes me feel good and happy. I sing when I want to express what I feel inside me.I act when I want to entertain others and lastly I explore, I enjoy experiencing and experimenting with all the wonderful things in life. I always love to eat, hang-out,take pictures, and many more. I am also a cheerleader and I love cheer leading a lot.

    I love my family a lot even though we are already divided into half we still have the communication everyday. My friends are like my family for they always help and support me. There are persons who passed in my life which I will never forget for they have left a memorable experience with me.

   To accomplish great things in life, we must not only dream, but act. In setting our goals let us make sure that we will accomplish it.

Gender Differences in Communication

   Men and women are equal but as human beings, men and women also have differences.There are numerous theories on gender differences in communication. Understanding the differences is essential to communicate with opposite gender. Our way of communication is influenced by our gender perspective through the events (experience in daily life), thoughts and behavior (emotions).

Here are some of the gender differences in communication.

• Women seek out relationships with others while men tend to seek standing and position.
• Women relate to others as equals while men relate to others as rivals.
• Women  tend to focus on details of emotions while men tend to focus on the details of fact.
• Women are more concerned with feelings while men keep concerns to themselves.
• Women tend to ask for help, advice and directions while men often will not ask for advice, help or directions.

   Men interpret the face to face as too personal, or aggressive and women will interpret the talking side to side as though he is hiding something from her. When communicating with women, men can learn sensitivity, openness, and self control with competitiveness. Women can learn  on how  to be more direct, assertive, and mirror the feelings of the men who they are communicating with.  We all are aware of the physical and biological differences of men and women but most distinctions, though, are learned. So what we're considering is the different way women and men think and behave, and as such, communicate from the position of their individually learned gender perspective.
