First Impression Of A Dream

In class Dr Preston went over the poem “ A Dream Within A Dream” my first thought or impression on it was that it questions the nature of reality and human existence. Poe is saying that some of us could be accused of living life as a dream, with hardly a grip of reality but nevertheless. Although human emotions, human thoughts and consciousness couldn’t not affect this notion of life as a series of driven experiences.

Everything Is A Remix

Notes from video of everything is a remix, remix means to combine or edit an existing material to produce something new. In the video there were a couple of words that were resources to remix, such as light bulb mean't moment of creativity (have light), create means domain knowledge, culture and language, copying means flat out mimic what others are doing. Transformation means expanding, taking existing stuff and merging them together especially if they don't get along and this a big resource. 

Entitled To An Opinion

Not anyone is entitled for their opinions, you are entitled to what you can argue for. An opinion is a view or judgement about something. If everyone is entitled to there opinion it can also mean "I have a right to my opinion" means that no ones has the right to stop you from thinking or saying whatever they want, specifically as a way to avoid new information or having to support their claim in a disagreement.

The Medium Is The Message

The way I select the most appropriate channel/s for my communication is by considering the type of message it is sending, reflecting on what the workplace values around the messages it's sending and choosing a channel that will best reach other audience. Face to Face communication, Mobil Communication, and Written Method Communication can be useful as well. Having in mind something that calls for your attention will help you choose what type of communication you need or want.

Read Talk Understand

I don't always read or discuss a text when the author is in the room. When I get read anything I don't get anything out of it/ I don't understand much. That is why I prefer to read it myself so I can have a better understanding of the text or reading. I try to figure out what is effective from those readings.

My Thesis Statement

In my opinion I think the main point of an essay is the thesis statement, which introduces and provides some background information on my topic. For example, interesting facts, quotations or definitions of important terms you will use in the essay. After reading Dr Preston's Blog Post I have a different point of view in what a essay really is. You don't have to really do all that about the structure of an essay including an introduction, conclusion etc.

I Ain’t Got Time For This

In my day most of my time is wasted at school. Every night I get about 7-8 hours of sleep. I wake up and get ready for school, I am in school for like 7 hours half of my day! I get home and start working on my homework. I spend so much time doing all my homework, and when I have test I spend a couple minutes studying. Me putting in all my time in my education shows that I care. There are some people I know who don't even put in time of themselves, and don't try at all.

For The Win

Something I have done really well in this course I think is catching up every weekend with my posts!

Sometimes during class I don’t take advantage of getting my things done or catching up with my posts when I have been given time!  It is a little tough for me to do all the post day by day even though I try my hardest to do so. So what I do when I know I have to post, I use my weekend to work and catch up on my work from all my classes and posts for this class! Lately I have been working in that of catching up every weekend on my posts! Reason why I can’t always posts on the daily is because i sometimes don’t have enough time so I have to measure time and use it wisely! 

Today I Was Thinking

Today in class I was thinking a lot, while we were doing the mindfulness a lot of things were running through my head. One of the things that I was really putting so much thought in was about my AP Spanish class and English class. I was thinking about how I should be catch up on my post and how I should really update my Blog!! In my Spanish class I really do have a lot of confusion but I try my best all the time! Ever since we talked about the AP test that all I think about.

The Earth On Turtles Back

As a class we read the story “ The Earth On Turtles Back” in my words I thought that this was an imagery told story.  It helped me understand or visualize that the characters are either seeing, touching, smelling or hearing to make this story come to life.This also helped me a more fully realized understanding that the author has created about this story. It shows us the visualization that the author is showing. Overall it just makes the author tell it as if it was coming up to life, easier for us readers to understand!

The Making Of An Essay

I seem to be learning a lot of new things on the daily whether it's at school or out of school. For me it's always good to be learning new things, it can be really useful later on. But there are things I do learn but then don't always stick with me, sometimes I forget what I did in class the day before. I have a very bad memory. Like this school year in my classes I've learned words I never even heard or new about. Learning new things can always make our experiences in the future easy. In my opinion learning everyday is so helpful, I love it.

I Care About Your Understanding

In my opinion in a leadership class if every student in that class has a different opinion on something or has a different idea of something, I feel like they should use their idea! I also think that in a class where as a group or as a class they all decide exactly what they are trying to do for the specific event! I don't have a leadership class but I do have some friends, who talk to me about there experience with a leadership class. I've been told it is not like they expected it to be, that they don't always use their ideas and thoughts they have but they go more with the older kids. 

How I Read

My reading experience is not so good. I don't really read books like before, before I used to read a lot of books now I don't really read. I can say I do still like reading even though sometimes the book might be boring. When I was in junior high I used to ready at least 2-3 books in a month. To be honest now I don't even try to read a new book, but I am going to start again. I really do enjoy ready different type of genres. I think a reason why I stopped reading was because throughout school I started getting more homework so I focused more on the homework.

Hack To School

In my words I think this class is about Literature such as us reading a lot and writing a lot. The easiest part of this class is probably doing the journals every morning at the beginning of class. The hardest part of this class is being up to date on posting on my blog. In this class I have learned a lot of vocabulary I have never heard of before. My big question is how to be become successful?
