Reflection Week 8

So I took those two brain test things. The results I got were very accurate to my personality. The first one said I was a right brained person. I answered fourteen out of the eighteen questions right brained and four of them left brained. It says I am holistic, random, concrete, intuitive, nonverbal, and fantasy-oriented. Those all seem pretty close to my own personality. I am very random at times. I also follow my gut a lot when I have hunches on things I am not sure about. I do nto talk a lot unless it is with people I am comfortable with and I do not like to follow rules. The second test said I was a very spatial, nature oriented, and social person. That is very close to how I am too. I remember things by how it looks and not what it is called. I like to take photographs of nature and other things like cars and people. It also said I was not a very musical and linguistic person. I am not so sure about the musical part. I like music a lot and I is a part of my life and personality every day. From these results I can mold the ways I study and help maximize my learning. I can adapt my study habits to my traits. Hopefully I can use this new information to help better myself and my study skills in the future so I can do better in school and life.

Reflection: Week 9

I am currently taking two classes, Reading and English. I overall enjoy my English class, we've written two papers; one about the media and the other about violence. I also won the “Best Title” contest for both of those essays, which was a huge accomplishment. Before this class I wasn't a good writer and dreaded doing essays, but with the guidance of my teacher who is a little weird I've come to love writing! Being successful is something I drive to be. However, it's not always easy. This famous quote stated in a Chinese proverb helps me “The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials.” In other words success comes with failures, but in each fault you learn more about yourself and are one step closer to success. In order to become successful I have to push myself, and work hard. I have to realize that there's a difference between work and play, and there is a time for both. The key is finding a balance between the two. To find a balance, I put my work/school first because that is what most important at the moment. At the same time, not cut myself from friends and fun but simply not giving everything up for a good time. Another way I plan to continue on my road to success is never give up, there have been so many times when I have wanted to just stop doing work and get distracted, but I've learned to be self motivated enough to push myself above and beyond. Challenges are all over, some challenges I face are staying on task and procrastination, I always wait til the last minute and forget to do things. In this class I have learned that reading is important to be successful and that you need to have good study skills or you can't get anything done. I realized I need to read more for the final and improve my study skills, and hopefully that will help me in the next few weeks.

Week 7 Reflection

So my life goal would be to get a degree and be successful in life. Yes, I know that isn't a real crazy thing but its what i like. I just want to have a family that i can support and have a stable job and not have to worry about money or anything. I want to get out of Fullerton College by 2012 and transfer to Cal State Fullerton or Cal Poly SLO. Hopefully i can become a teacher or a Civil Engineer. Maybe I can do both and teach engineering in college. That sounds like a long shot since I tend to mess everything up that I try when it comes to school. I already messed up a whole semester here at FJC and messed up half of this semester. Oh well, only time will tell i guess. I also want to coach high school tennis. I got lucky and was able to become the assistant coach for my old high school's tennis team. I'm happy that I can learn the ways of becoming a good coach from one of the best and most respectable coaches I've ever met, Mike Lee. I would like to stay in southern California too. Orange County is where i grew up and i fell it would be a nice place to raise kids and start a family. One day I hope to won a house in Orange Park Acres or the Villa Park Hills. I hope that i can achieve my goals someday and be able to live a comfortable life with a nice family.

Reflection Week 6

Lets see, How did my week go last week. Well it went quite normal i guess. Class and work. Nothing too special. My goals for last week were accomplished. Nothing came unexpectedly and ruined my plans. Yeah, I know, i live a boring life. What can I say? It's what I'm good at. Reading strategies and study skills? Ooohh.... yeah.... about those...... ummmm... yeah... Let's not go there.

This week on the other hand, well, that didn't go as planned at all. On Monday I got into a big argument with my mother and ended up having to drop 2 classes. It got to the point to where i punched a hole in my headboard of my bed. Yeah it got ugly. So now i have to get at least a B in my two remaining classes in order to return in the fall as a student. Sucks i know. I mean, i like school (sounds crazy right?). I mean i seriously hate having nothing to do. This past Tuesday And Thursday I got to sleep in which was a plus, but once i woke up i had nothing to do. I just sat around doing nothing until work started. I hated it! It gets to the point where I mess with things and break them. Yeah that is bad.

So yeah I"ll leave you with that. Oh and this little guy
