I learned different ways to deal with the changes in my life. Also i learned different ways to appraoch change. Change is not always a bad thing change can be a good thing even if at the time it seems like a bad thing. I learned some things about college that i probaly wouldn't have none if i haven't have read the second chapter in are work book. I learned that i was a bad time manager. I learned better ways to manage my time and money like sample things like getting a calender so i can remember important meetings and things. I learned that i am not as good of reader as i thought and i learned ways to improve my reading like on the internet playing a game. I learned ways i am good at learning and ways i am not good at learning.

I think that my strengths are that i learn things fast and understand things easy. I am a pretty smart person. I learn things better by visualy seeing them or just hearing about them or seeing example problems. I think that math is one of my better strengths even if i don't like math all that much it does come pretty easy to me. I can just look at an example problem and then do a problem similar to that problem. I am very good at comprehending things. Like reading things i comprehend what i read.

My weaknesses i think are writing. I like to write but i have lower test scores in writing so i guess i am not that good at it. I don't use very big vocabulary words when i write. I don't find a need to use a big or huge word that a small word can cover what i am trying to say. But i guess i do need to expand my vocabulary a little more and try to use bigger words even if i just find them irratating. I am not a good time manager, even when it comes to the most samplist time managing things like remembering appointments i guess it is because i don't like to be tied down or have plans i like to just wing it, but after i finish my plans for the day i do feel like i accomplished something for the day and i usually enjoy doing the things that i had planed even if i thought before hand i wouldn't.

I have learned alot of things in this class. I learned that i am not as good of a reader as i thought i was. But i also learned ways to improve my reading skills. Like this game we played on the computer i improved my reading skills just by playing that game a couple times. It was pretty amazing. I learned that i am not a good time manager but i learned ways to improve my time managment skills, by simply buying a calender and writing all the things i need to do on that. I just look at the calender every morning and know what i have to do. I am really glad that i took this class. Cause i also learned more about my self like what type of personality i have which helps me in many different ways like i learned that i need to be more of a judging person then a percieving person.

I like the Myers Briggs test that we did. I find it very interesting and it also helped me learn things that i need to change like being less percieving. I liked the reading improvment game that we did on the internet, it helped me inprove my reading skills and also it helped me realize that that was something i needed to improve. I like the blogs we made on the internet i found those to be very fun and easy to use also it helped me learn more about my fellow students. I like the post assingments that we did on them.

I think that the class is a very fun and interesting class. I think that the teacher also made it more fun by the activity's we did like the Myers Briggs test and other things. I liked that the teacher was very inthusiastic we should more inthustiastic teachers cause it helps me patient in class cause i find it more interesting and not boring. I think the blogs was a very good thing cause it helped me be able to get my work done easier and also helped me know what work i needed to get done. Another reason i liked the blogs are because i learned more about my fellow students in the class. I liked it when we set the tables in circles and discussed the work cause i felt more involved in the discussions and i didn't feel left out or lossed.

What i know now about this course is that it really does help you in many ways to prepare for things in college and also in life. when i begin this class i didn't know that it was going to prepare me for being a better parent but there was alot of things that i learned that i am really glad i learned cause i know that it is going to help me be a better parent. I think that students in the forture should take this class cause it helps you with many different things not just college but life siturations and things like that.

There are many things i will do different now because of the last few weeks in this class i will try harder to become a better reader now that i know that is something i need to improve and now that i know how to improve it. Also i will be a better time manager, I new that managing my time was something i wasn't very good at but i didnt know how to improve that but k=now i do so i can change the way i manage my time that will help me with life i think it will make me more responsible as a person and also as a mother because once i have my baby i know that i will need to be a very good time manger.

#6 Academic dishonesty

I think that everyone some time in there school life has been a little dishonest. I have been so far in college. But there was a couple times in high school were i copied some of my friends assingment right before class cause i had forgot about and it was do at the beginning of class. But i have learned from my mistake of cheating that it is not a very smart thing to do for many different reasons. The first reason is because it is wrong to use someone elses work and get the grade that they earned. We all get the assingment so we can all earn are own grade. Not so we can just copy someone elses hard work. Another reason is because they do make cheating a rule for a reason, if you copy someones paper then you get a test or a surprize quiz then you don't know the answers and end up making a bad grade for that paper which test and quizes are usually worth more pionts then a homework paper. So it is a lose, lose situration when cheat. You don't get the knowledge that you needed to be able to pass that test. Not only that but teachers teach you thing for a reason not to just torment you, and if they teach it to you it probaly means that you are going to need to know that for something in the future or in a future class. Most of the time learning things come in steps. What i mean by that is most of the time you learn things that you are going to have to know how to do for other things that you will learn. It is like trying to put a computer stand together. If you are reading the directions and you just decide to skip over the first 2 steps there is no way that you can do any of the other steps cause you needed those 2 steps to be able to do the rest.

"This i believe"

My whole life i have been trying to rush things and grow up. In tell about 6 months ago. I thought that i wanted to grow up fast and do everything at a younger age. I got my first job as a dish washer when i was 12. At my friends grandma's resturant. I worked every weekend. I worked at firework stands in the summer. I always was trying to do some kind of work for little extra money. Like baby sit or cleaning, and things like that. The main reason i was always trying to have a job is because i wanted to be an adult and do things like an adult. I always hung out with older people, some my age. I said when i was 13 that i wanted to move out and i couldn't wait to get my own place so i could be my own boss. My mom always told me to not try and rush to grow up, cause you only have a little bit of time to be i kid and have no responsability's, but you have your whole life to get a job and be an adult. With a million responsability's. I never lisoned to what she told me i just thought of it that she was just trying to tell me what to do like always, and that she just didn't want me to have all the fun that adults get to have. I believe now that i should of lisoned to my mom and injoined my child heard and not tried to grow up cause there is plenty of time to do that. But now i am 16 years old and pregnant so i have to grow up and i realize now that growing up ain't as fun as i thought when i was kid. You might be able to go nd do things and not have to ask your mom for permission first but there are alot more unfun things that come with growing up then fun, you have alot more responsability's and you don't have your mom to walk beside you and hold your hand and guide you through everything step by step, my mom is still here for me but i am just having to learn how to do things on my own and not be able to relay on her to do those thngs, like laundry or making doctors appointments those don't sound like much but there are a million oothers things that come along with groing up. I wish that i would of lisoned to my mom and been a kid when i had the chance but now i can't. That is why i believe that i should have lisoned to my mom.

#5 Community service

I think community service is a very good thing. Also i very good way we can help are community out there are so many thhing we can do to help. Even the most smallest of things helps like for example if we all would pick up just one piece of trash on the ground then there would be alot less trash on the ground. I think it is very important to try and keep are envirment clean for us and for the animal that live in are community. Animals can deal with things the way we do. If a plastic peice from a 6 pack gets in the water it can kill lots of fish because they get tangled up in it and can't get out and die. What i would do for a community service project is make poster saying a time and place to meet up and pick up some trash i would tell all my friends and family about and hope that alot of people would show up. Then we could just go around El dorado and pick up trash it would help are comminty look nicer but also be a cleaner more safer inviroment to live in. I would also try to set up some kind of donation stands around El dorado to help rise money for el dorado. To help fix up streets, parks, and make more places around the like family freindly. That would help make el dorado a more funner and safer place. Hopefully there would be enough people in el dorado that cared about theses type of things to help. In any way they could it would take alot of time and effort but the more people helping the less time in work would be needed form each individual. Giving to your community helps in so many different ways. Also another project i would want to do is take up donations to help build a straight away racing track. that way there could be less street racing around el dorado an maybe help it to be a more safer place. Cause people would have a place to take there cars and just race them for fun and it would be safe and in a controlled inviroment.

#4 butler resources

I am writing my paragraph over the case study #1 An unplanned pregnancy. The reason i chose this topic is because i myself am going through an unplanned pregnancy. So i can relate to this topic more. I think that the girl in the paragraph is about to go through i long hard journey that never will end. Hopefully the guy she was with will commit to being a father and step up and take responsability for what he has done. Lucky she knows who the dad is and also she knows the dad very good since they had dated for along time. If he don't decide to step up and take responseability for what he has done that is ok, cause she can do this on her own. Hopefully she will have friends and family to support her through this long hard journey. If not there are plenty of places that provide help. Like first of all to get a pregnancy test and hear about more options she can go to the Birth Line here in El dorado. There is also SRS to help her get insurance is she don't have none or food stamps or cash assitance if needed. They can also help her get a job or place to live. They can can even help her go to college if she wanted to. She can also get whick if she needed to help her by food before the baby is born and also after the baby is born they will help her get formula if she needs, and also help her with what she wants to do. All of these places will help her decide what she wants to do, like keep the baby, give the baby up for adoption, or abort the baby. They will also help go through with any decision she makes. In any way that they can. We are very lucky to have such good resources in El dorado to halp us with situations like these and other situations.

#3 Acadimic plan

My acadimic plan is to major in prelaw. There are alot of classes i will need to take to be able to this. First i take all my basic Math and English classes. After that i take my other basics like General Psychology and Art appreciation. Then i can take some more art or Psychology classes if i want to. I also need to take classes like legal writing, legal research, and criminal law. I think it will be fun to earn my prelaw degree and i think it will be very hard. But i know that it will take time and patients to get there and alot of hard work. The reason i chose prelaw to major in is because i want to be a laywer, i think that being a lawyer would never get old or boring. I also think that i will come across alot of interesting people and cases that i can help. The only part i am not looking forward to is having to represent someone that is not in the right and is in the wrong. Hopefully i won't have to many cases like that. I think that the Psychology classes i will have to take to earn my degree are going to be very fun and interesting i am taking a general Psychology class right now and i like it very much. I think that criminal law is probaly going to be a very hard class that involves alot of homework and studying but hopefully i will still be able to find it fun, or at least interesting.

#2 Time Management

I am not very good at managing my time. I feel tied down, when i have to schedule things for certian times or days. But then when i do those things i feel like i have accomplished something for that day. I am am not very good to keeping to a schedule either. I constantly forget appointments or things that i was surposed to do. I don't see why either becuase i have a really good memory. It doesn't matter the importance of the scheduled thing i forgot either. For example i forget things like very important doctor appointments or dentist appointments. I deffently need to become a better time manager. Maybe the reason i forget my appointments is because i find it so inconvient to have to be tied down. Well what ever the reason is i know that i need to fix it. I believe that if i was a better time manager then i would become more responsible, also i am going to be very tied down with important appointments once i have my baby. I think maybe something that would help is if i get a calender and put it on the fridge or on a wall somewhere and just first thing in the morning look at the calender to see what i have to do. Well that seems like a really good idea, so i think that i might actually go buy a calender today and start doing that, enless i forget. Maybe that will help me become a better time manager and by being a better time manager maybe i can be more responsible as a person, and in the near future as a mother.
