My Learning And Falling Rise

It was August 12 when I walked into this classroom, I was scared just like in every other class. Dr.Preston greeted us so friendly & very polite too. I immediately thought 'wow cant wait to mess around',  not like I don't do it regardless. I started rapidly falling behind in the class due to the amount of blog post. I am a learner who tries to be as organized as possible& always trying their best. I would've figured I would have at least a B+ during the semester.

When i first saw Dr.Preston I immediately knew that he was going to be one of the best teachers yet. He wasted no time and asked us how we wanted the classroom to be run. He told us about our options and when he was done he walked out the classroom. I was confused as why he walked out , the classroom didn't really discuss it as a class but we did choose the "easy" one. We thought open source would be easier than books due to it involving technology. We were all so happy because we were going to be able to us our phones in class.

We write journals on the daily and they are really helping go into detail with my writing. Some of the journals are really fun to write about and I think that motivates some of us due to immediately having a memory pop in our brains. We would get asked to memorize poems, I had a hard time remembering so I didn't get my credits for those poems. He would ask us to record and upload it on to our blogs. I also remember him asking us to write a resume, I never wrote one before his class but i'm glad I did. I think it'll really help me when I am applying for a job or even a scholarship.

I remember getting asked to make a post everyday. I knew I would fall behind quickly due to me leaving it off for a while. Getting further into the semester I knew i ha to make up all that work because it was really hurting my grade. I wasn't happy with my grade but I knew that it was on me for not doing any of the work that was asked for. A way I got it under control was writing all the missing blog post onto a piece of paper and checking it off when it was complete. I learned to never leaving anything aside and to do it when its due because you can fall behind quickly.

I started to come up with a plan so that I can sit and do my homework. I got home one day and I immediately took out all my homework and laid it out in front me. I also tried being away from any distraction that there can be. I would put my phone on do not disturb and play some music so that I can really get into my work Dr. Preston soon told us we would have an interview soon, I knew I had to work on the things that he was asking for. I knew that I myself would leave it to the last day. I asked my sister for hep so that my resume can come out good.

I know I've came a long way from not turning in anything to turning in whatever she had done. I really have tried my hardest in staying focused on the work I was doing and making sure anything I turned in would be my best work. I have also put a lot of thought into my journal and not just writing whatever just of ill up half a page.I know I still struggle to turn things such as this work, It gets hard due to have a brother take care of and having chores. I know this is better than nothing cause he said so himself. I am ready for the spring semester and making sure I earn the grade I know I deserve.

How Did I Do?

My Brain On Thanksgiving Break

During thanksgiving break my mind didn't really focus on school. I did think of my English class due to my teacher posting some tips on our final. I guess you can say I was thinking of school, since i was thinking about my portfolio.
