express and communicate your emotions in daily
conversations?

Describing words help us express our emotions

VALUES INTEGRATION: Adjectives enhance communication by making our emotions clearer, more
vivid, and easier for others to understand. They allow us to express feelings with accuracy, making
conversations more meaningful and engaging. Striving for excellence in all endeavors means being
intentional with our words, ensuring they reflect our thoughts and emotions effectively. Just as excellence
requires effort and precision in everything we do, using adjectives thoughtfully shows our commitment to
clear, impactful, and respectful communication, helping us build stronger connections with others.
