Week Two

Number 4
In school it helps to be proactive because you are more likely to turn in your work at the right time and the work will be better written and well done.

Number 5

I always worry about me future, now that I'm a senior I can't escape the thought that I will be stuck with here while my friends all go out and do something is horrifying. The only way I can think to stop this stress is by spending more time with my friends, focusing on school, and wait patiently for a response.

Number 6
The author is trying to teach us that sometimes you have to make a mistake to know what the right thing to do is. This reminds tme that it is ok to do something wrong because good can come from it.
One habit that has been passed down to me that I would like to change:
How loud I am.
The history of that bad habit is:
My dad is extremely loud and this means that it is easy for people to think I am mad or yelling when in the end I am not.
This bad habit has affected my life in these ways:
It's easy for people to jump to conclusions and cause issues when I really don't mean any thing bad.
By changing the habit:
People will stop complaining about how loud I am and I will be less concious of it.
To change the habit:
I will work hard to speak quietly and maybe even get my hearing checked.

Number 7
self-awarness: the ability to know things about yourself, like if the ways you learn, think, and what is best for you.
coinscience: knowing what is right from wrong
imagination: knowing that there are many possibity not just the first one that comes to mind
 will power: the ability to control your actions and thoughts.

Week One

Get in the habit
I always rewrite my notes, it is the only really productive way I study, I also write everything down. I try to stay organized but I find that about half way through the year I start to slack and stop writing down my homework, I still turn everything in but I just loose organization. I would like to stay organized and work hard, turning everything in.

Paradigms and principles
Lyrics to the songs I love usually involve never giving in and not letting what people say get you down. They have inspirational undertones and can't me smiling.

My learning style/My strengths

1.Linguistic
2. Musical
3. Intera-personal
4. Naturalism


So I had to do one of these quizzes for my English class with Ms. Mobley, and I have to say this quiz was better than the one that she gave us. According to this quiz I got a 100% in Linguistics (different from previous quizzes where my results were pretty inconclusive and small). Here I have rather large scores in Linguistic, Musical,Intra-personal,and Naturalistic.This means that I do my best work by rewriting notes, and creating rhymes and odd little things in order to remember vocabulary and similar things. My other quiz was inconclusive but I know that I am more of a verbal person and I write everything down. I know this about myself but this really reminded me of the best ways for me to learn.
