MY LEARNING FALL AND RISE

       August 12, was the day I came back to Dr. Prestons class hoping to redeem my terrible performance from the year before. I had came in  with a new mindset for not just this class but for all my classes. I knew I was capable of passing all my classes and getting that 4.0 GPA, but the only thing that was standing in my way was my own laziness. My perspective of this class never changed, I knew this class was something special. This class was made to be more than an English class and I didn't take the opportunists that this class gave me, I was really grateful to get a second chance to learn more and do more that can help me.
       It was like deja vu when Dr. Preston went and told us what he was going to do and how he was going to do it. I had an idea on how the course was going to go but I didn't know it was going to be like this. I knew Dr. Preston was going to help us through out the whole way, all I had to do was just ask. Having a teacher that's always going to keep it real with you has its advantages. On the first day of school he gave us a chance to choose how we learn, and not many teachers will give that opportunity.
       If I could pick my favorite daily assignment from this class it would be the journals. I get a chance to write, since I rarely get a chance to write now. Keeping up with blogs been the major problem for me. I try to do them everyday but I just can't think of how to write a post. My best journal that I wrote would have to be the time when I wrote about winning the lottery because that's something I always imagine to happen to me. I would get lost in a fantasy of my family and I living freely not worrying about bills, parents not having to do hard labors and just being able to relax.
     One thing that tested my skills was when I had to do the interview. I have never done anything like that, and I didn't know how to prepare for it. It was a major stepping stone for me because I knew that this was what to expect when looking for a job. I didn't do the best job preparing for it but I felt like if I took my time then I could have done way better. Coming out of your comfort zone is something I had to do to expand my thinking.
     Through out the year I thought to myself on how I can make my work progress better. I found a solution but it was way to late to since we were already heading towards the finl weeks of the semester. For this upcoming semester I need to put my work first and make sure to post a blog everyday. There will be some ups and downs but as long as I remain focus, I'll be fine.
    When I started this class, I noticed I had a couple of friends in the class, I knew hearing different point of views would help me become a better learner. Learning is something simple but at the same time kind of complicated. It's all up to the person to determine how well you would learn. I learned how to prepare for a job and that's something I thought I would learn on my own but i'm grateful that I got taught on how to prepare for a job.

HOW DID I DO?

MY BRAIN ON THANKSGIVING BREAK

I tried reading a book that would get me thinking. Doing some makeup work for other classes helped me contribytur to learning
