topic 6

task 1
My personal time log before my servive learning:1. wake up, take shower2. pick out clothes3. put on makeup4. pack lunch5.leave 20 minutes early to have enough time to get there early.- i think that my routine is pretty solid. I am never late, and I don't think that I waste too much time, I stick to the same routine every single day, and it seems to work for me pretty well...

Task 2:
-i can impliment time mamagement into my daily life by keeping a good solid schedule, and going by it every day. Having good sleep patterns help, and so does eating a nice breakfast in the morning may help for me to not get ran down. always keeping track of the time also can help.-I get overwhelmed with obligations all the time. What i do is just try to stay calm, and try to breath. Never give up, keep trying and trying until you are satisfied with your work. take one thing at a time, and do whatever you have to do with a good effort.

topic 8

I chose to read up on alcohol. Of the 17.2 million illicit drug users aged 18 or older in 2005, 12.9 million (74.8 percent) were employed either full or part time. That really isn't good at all. There shouldn't be that many people allowed to work under these conditions. I think that allot of the jobs these days should be dug and alcohol tested.

Research indicates that between 10 and 20 percent of the nation's workers who die on the job test positive for alcohol or other drugs. That is another reason why there should be drug and alcohol testing on the job. There are many ways that someone can get injured while working around Heavy machinery.

topic 9

My attitude is really just laid back. I'm not to quick to snap on anyone. You have to really push my buttons for me to jut get mad at you. I'm really the type to joke around and make people laugh. There have been many situations when people have tried me. I really just look over it and keep moving on.

My attitude a my placement is the same as it is when I'm not there. I think that my laid back attitude fits perfectly when I am dealing with children. There are a lot of things kids can do to piss you off and make you mad. You just have to remember that they are young and to look over them.

I don't think that people in my life have influenced my attitude. Your attitude reflects what kind of person you are. I think that I have influenced myself. I am old enough to make my own decisions, and make my own mistakes.

Topic 4

The leanrer i mostly see myself as is the audiotory learner bescause when i hear something out loud then its easier for me to focus on and i also benefit from having class discussion and thinking of what were learning as something you do in every day life or outside school activities.

· Participate in class discussions/debates.
· Make speeches and presentations.
· Use a tape recorder during lectures instead of taking notes.
· Read text out aloud.
· Create musical jingles or raps to aid memorization.
· Create mnemonics to aid memorization.
· Discuss your ideas verbally.
· Dictate to someone while they write down your thoughts.
· Use verbal analogies and storytelling to demonstrate your point.

I am currently enrolled in algebra 1 and lit 11 in algebra i started asking more questions and making and effort to pay more attention then I ever have in any other math class. I also increased my study habits and i took the time to actually learn the formulas. I've saved my notes.
As for lit 11 I've been doing my lit projects at home. I've been joining in on more lit projects i've been focused. I put more emphisis on getting ready for the EOCT.

topic 10

Written: email, letter, smart boardVerbal
: through speaking, through song, through recorded audiotapenon-verbal:
hand gestures, symbols, expressions on one's face

written: if your smart board wasn't working, then you could get it fixed or call technical support. you're Internet might not be working, so you could go to the public library. You might not be able to find a pen, so you could use a marker or colored pencil.

Verbal: you could have a soar throat and not be able to talk well, so you could go to the store and get some cough drops. You might not be singing your best that day, so you could get someone else to sing for you. Your tape player might be out of batteries, so you could go to the store and get some more.

non-verbal: you may have broken your hand, so you could just use the other one. Someone may not be able to understand the symbols that you're making, so you could try easier ones to comprehend. You might be sad and trying to act happy, so you could try and take your mind off whatever is making you sad so that your facial expressions are clearer to read.

Task 2:
many communication skills are at best par because sometimes i just dont feel like making the effort sometimes I can be passive or just flat out dont care because thats the type of person I am. But at times when I upady I can communicate very well so it's kind of up in the air with me.

Topic 2 where I want to be


In ten years I want to see myself living it up in a loft somewhere in Atlanta or on the westcoast of america. I want to be doin something with music because that is my real passion. I want to be a famous artist originally but if not I want to be in game design. to work on the carrers that I want I would first need to better myself with Graphics. Or either go to a prestige musical institute which I cant think of any right now but yes thats what I need. I see myself lookin like a Rastafarian of some sort because I gonna let my hair grow to the floor.

Topic 3

BE PREPARED
I picked be prepared because I when I come to class I am never prepared because I always forget to get my pencils and paper. I want to work on get organized because if your are organized you will be able to thank and you wont fill that packed and you would be able to breath.Taking Good NotesNow I picked this because I never take notes because when I take notes I never read them so I just save myself time but I am trying to work on this problem mainly because it’s a big one. Another reason I don’t take notes is because I am a auditory learning.

Get to class on time
I picked this because if you get to class on time and actually do your work ontime then thats just that much less work you have to do and the future. Plus it can save you the abscences and tardy that have proved to set so many people back in the past.

So far in my service learning class I have brushed up on my indeisgn and photoshop skills and i am becoming very polished at changing and manipulating pictures and these upcoming weeks i just basically like at least a sneak peak at how the magazine will come out looking.
