MY LEARNING FALL AND RISE

As I entered this class on August 13th, I was someone who was nervous to not feel as smart as everyone else in class. I was not comfortable with everyone (for the most part) because I knew that almost everyone in class has more than one advanced placement classes and I just had the one. I still don't know everyone, but I am more comfortable now. When I met Dr. Preston for the first time, I thought he was a cool teacher. I could instantly tell that he was the time of teacher wih no filter (if that makes sense) what I am trying to say is that he is true to himself and honest. When he walked out, I was like shocked that he trusted us so fast, but it also really showed a sense of his character. I also thought it was cool that he is not afraid to say bad words. Writing in our journals and our blogs was great because the journals gave a comforting sense of just writing on paper and blogs gave us extra time to do our work at home because it is easy accesable at home. My thought process while writing my favorit blogs and jounals was just how fun it was, I don't know how to explain it. I didn't really enjoy posting videos on my blog because I don't really like looking at myself, I look weird about to talk and stuff but it's definitly funny. Memorizing poems was a challenge, but it was alright because we had strategies to memorizing things so that helped out alot. I would probably have to say that the point where I had the most tension was my interview presentation. I was considering to emailing Dr. Preston and chickening out, but my friends made me feel like I could do it. I was super nervous the day of, my palms were sweaty, and my heart was racing, but during the interview I managed to look calm. From what I learned is that everyone gets nervous and to always be prepared and breath. I don't really have a routine to help me build success because everyday is a new thing, but I would say that to succeed I look over the blog on the weekends and see what I am missing. I am now a different learner from August because now I am to afraid to ask for help/questions in person or via email. I am a different in the sense of focusing on the present and what is import, I value the quality of my work now.

How did I do?

Hi! Today I interviewed in class, can I get some feedback? ❤

MY BRAIN DURING THANKSGIVING BREAK

To be completely honest my thanksgiving break was like a mind roller coaster, in order to sustain my learning momentum I had go and look back on the posts and blogs every then and there during break. And to be honest I don't remember the "list of living well" at this moment.
