Ready to read Dr. Preston

    When I entered into the class I’m august 20 I was afraid to see my new English class. I was just startled like anyone else in their first day of school. I was really excited to meet my new teacher just like any other year. Once I walked in I lost my hype I was feeling normal like any other year.     When he told us about our options for how the class was going I knew it was going to be different. I wasn’t sure what the options were going to be like but everyone seemed excited about open source learning. I knew Dr. Preston would have a great amount of trust in us when he walked out of the class to let us decide. Open source learning was new to me because it would always have our work saved. So we chose open source learning and it was going to be new to us.      Something that was challenging to me was learning how to use open source. It was hard for me because I did not have a routine to get into everyday. I first needed to find that routine. I fi...

Self reliance part 4

Being consistent is a good thing. It could be good or bad depending on if the consistency is a good thing. You always want to be on top of things for example if you play a spot you want to stay on top of things not just for one game but for all games that’s why it’s good to be consistent. Now if you are doing something bad then you might not wanna be consistent. “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds”. People usually want to take a easy road but it shouldn’t be like that you should be getting out of your comfort zone. “To be great is to be misunderstood”. It’s not always bad to be misunderstood because we don’t think the same way.

Self reliance part 2

“ A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best” It gives you this happy feeling when you put so much Effort on something like you didn’t hold anything back you just put your heart in soul. “What is it that makes children so courageous and parents so afraid” What I think is that children are so courageous because they are young with open minds and they still have that energy to keep going. I think what makes parents afraid is failing and knowing that you have a strong child makes you scared that they know more than you.

First impression of a dream

My first impression of this is that it’s saying that dreams aren’t really real. It asks that everything we see can be thought to be a dream. There is times where you can think it’s a dream but it’s actually reality real life.

Are you entitled to your opinion ?

Yes you are entitled to your opinion. Everyone has a different way of seeing things and thinking about things. Being entitled to your opinion is a yes because you aren’t going to be thinking like everyone else and that’s okay.

Socratic method

I think this is a good thing because is brings us all together. When we are brought together we can make big things go a lot quicker and when we ask for help we have it. It makes us more comfortable and open to ask for help which is always good.

Getting to know you

Getting to know me can be reallt simple if we both enjoy the same things. I feel like a big part of all my friendships are because of the simple fact that we both enjoy things and that brighten ups my day. I feel like the people you hang out with can easily ruin or make your day.

I care about your understanding

Sometimes I just wish people understood that all I like to do is play soccer. Sometimes my parents don’t want to let me play soccer because of my grades but that’s the only thing really motivating me to do better. I understand that sometimes the way to push someone is by taking away what they most enjoy but for me it brings me down. I feel like sometimes my parents don’t understand that soccer is really why I try to keep my grades up.

Today I was thinking

After Dr. Preston talked about having an agenda it made me think. It made me think it was an effective way to get me to remember what I had to do related to school. The one I especially liked was mindfulness Monday because it lets you walk into the week calm and relax. It just makes the week start off right which I really enjoy.

I ain’t got time for this

So what I do daily is wake up go to school for 8 hours. After I come out of school depending on what day is it I have soccer practices. Monday’s, Wednesday’s, and Friday’s I have practice from 5:30-7 for my team America. Tuesday’s and Thursday’s I have practice for my club crusaders. After my practices i usually get home like at 8. After I get home I shower and eat then go to sleep.

My thesis statement

In my opinion I think it’s better to go ahead and write without a prompt. I think a prompt limits you to talk about just certain things and it makes you follow rules. If you write freely it would make essays funnier than just sticking to a prompt.

Investing in me

After high school I’m planning on attending Allan Hancock for the 2 years they offer you for free. After I finish my 2 years studying about mechanics in Hancock I plan to move. After my 2 years I want to try to get into a university where they offer good education systems for mechanics.

Same words different people

One thing that is amazing about humans is how we are all different. All of us have a unique way of looking or approaching things. For example I bet that if you tell 5 people a problem they will each give you a different solution. That same problem but all different people.

The making of an essay

To be completely honest I really detest essays. I hate them because I feel like after we write them putting in our time and effort they just get thrown away. That pisses me off because I feel like we both waste our time so I don’t see a point to taking your time writing an essay.
