We both grew up as an only child, but I considered her more of a sister rather than my cousin. If something went wrong I knew that I could always run to Stephanie. Being that she was about 4 years older than me, I started to look up to her in a way. If needed help with schoolwork or just advice for any bad situation I was in then I turned to her. In 2004 my aunt had decided that it was time for her to move out. That meant that Stephanie would be moving out as well. I was sad that we wouldn’t be living together anymore because I thought that it meant we wouldn’t be as close.
That was not the case. Even though we didn’t talk as much and rarely saw each other Stephanie and me were still as close as can be. Whenever we got together if felt as if nothing had ever changed. To this day we can spend months and months apart but I always know that she is there to help through whatever it is I need help with. Tone of voice is important when communicating with my cousin Stephanie. My cousin can tell when I’m lying just from my tone of voice. Your tone of voice can give away a lot. “A liar’s voice usually changes when he is speaking an untruth.
Stuttering, stammering, change in pitch or tone, and frequent clearing of the throat may be indicators of lying. ” (http://science. yourdictionary. com/articles/what-are-the-signs-when-someone-is-telling-a-lie. html) My mom had always been very good at figuring out when I was not telling the truth. Even if I had not said a word my mom knew whether I was lying or not. Other than my mom Stephanie was the only other person that could do that. One time I had taken one of Stephanie’s CDs without her noticing. I don’t remember how but some way I scratched it up in a matter of two days.
The Essay on Activated Telephone Voice Tone Recognition
Fortunately, we both converged on the idea of constructing what we call the Universal Voice-Activated Telephone Dialer. This unit would function as a voice-activated telephone dialer that could be used on any touch-tone phone. It would be a box external from the telephone that would mount on the receiver of the phone. The box would basically consist of a microphone, a voice recognition microchip, ...
I put it back in her CD collection hoping that she wouldn’t notice, but of course she did. I was immediately the first person she came to. When questioned about it I automatically said I hadn’t touched her CD. Stephanie gave me a stern look and told me to tell her the truth. The stern look was enough to get me to confess to her that I was the one that scratched her CD. I remember another occasion when I had snuck in my house past my curfew without my mom noticing. I lied to my mom the next morning about it and when she didn’t believe me I told her to ask Stephanie because I had called her when I got home.
Stephanie vouched for me, but afterwards she told me that she knew I was lying and I owed her one for covering for me. My tone of voice is important when I express my love for my cousin to her. Whenever I haven’t gotten the chance to talk to my cousin in awhile I call her on the phone randomly. She always makes me tell her I lover her whenever we get off the phone and if I say I love you in a disgruntled way or an insincere way she makes me say it again and again until she thinks that I said it in a nice and caring manner. One day on Thanksgiving Stephanie asked me what I was thankful for.
I responded by telling her I was thankful for her and explaining to her why. After I had gotten done explaining it she began to cry. Stephanie told me later that night that the compassion and love in my voice was just enough to make her cry. Another time I made Stephanie cry was when I spoke a little bit about her at her graduation party in 2008. She told me that while I was speaking about her in front of the party that she could feel my love for her through the tone of my voice. When I encourage my cousin to do something it is important what tone of voice I use.
You can change something encouraging to something discouraging just by tone of voice. That is described in the article “Power Tool: Encourage – Discourage” by Bikramjit Maitra, “Same words spoken differently, different voice tone and gestures can convert or distort an apparent intention of encouragement into a very discouraging affair. ” (http://www. icoachacademy. com/blog/coaching-resources/power-tools/bikramjit-maitra-encourage-discourage-compass/>) Stephanie’s senior year at Oak Park High School she was running for a thing called Cambia Queen, which is pretty much like Ms. Oak Park.

She was very nervous and upset because she didn’t think that she had a chance of winning it. I came to the school assembly where the nominees were announced and such. Before the assembly Stephanie and I had a talk in her car. I told her that the other girls didn’t even have a chance in a very encouraging way. Even though Stephanie didn’t end up winning I could see the confidence she had when she walked the stage at the assembly. I have also helped Stephanie get out of the dumps after a break up many times. After her most recent break up Stephanie thought that the world was over and she wasn’t going to be able to get over it.
She stayed in her apartment for days. I decided go over there and give her some words of encouragement. By my sincere and stern tone of voice I made Stephanie realize that she could do much better. When Stephanie moved away to Denver for a couple of months she was scared to be starting off in a new city. She gave me a call the first week she was out there and told me that she felt lost. I tried my best to reassure Stephanie that everything was going to be fine and that she was strong enough to be on her own. Even though she came back home Stephanie stayed out in Denver for a little over half a year.
