Learning new and exciting things
My first week of School what I would like to accomplish this semester
My very first blog, I'd like to start every blog with a positive quote, one that I can remember.
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.”
― Dr. Seuss, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!
I have been stressed out trying to decide which of the 6 classes I will choose to drop this semester, I really couldn’t choose, I really thought my fear would get the best of me about English 1, I almost dropped it before it began, after my first video, as I watched on Jonny I started feeling more at ease with my choice to keep English, so here I am trying to organize my computer, Calanders, Desk, and home so I won't be to stressed out after all my classes start, I know once I get my classes figured out it will be fine, until than I will stay positive.
My story of this fear of writing and letting anyone read what I wrote came from my childhood, I was ridiculed as a teenager, "you see" I was raised in the 60 and 70 my parents were very young, they had 4 kids in 5 years, they want to discover new places I suppose, so we traveled across the west coast, I never lived in one house or one town long enough for I, nor my sibling to stay and finish one grade in one school, all four of us children, were always playing catch up instead of learning, 2 of my brothers became frustrated when they entered middle school one quit school permanently in the 8th grade, my oldest brother quit in the 10th grade, I was the only child that graduate on time even after I quit for a semester in the 11th grade, I wanted to go to college but I just wasn't in my cards when I was younger, now 57 my girls are grown, I chose to use my savings and go back to school, I wanted to really focus on me, and my own needs, I rented a small house on top of the hill and spend my days enjoying my school days.
What I want to learn from my English class is simple, to put things I write from my thoughts and feelings in the order where it belongs, using a bigger vocabulary, I never had a problem putting my thought down on paper, just no one had to read it, I was scared to show anyone because of my fears of being shamed, for instance I showed my mother one of my reflections for another class, it was picked apart for the spelling and punctuation, she had no idea what I even wrote, It made me even more terrified to take English. I want to learn how to write a sentence, a paragraph and not to have run on sentences. at the beginning of class I received and email from Jonny, he told me not to worry about spelling or punctuations, so this term "I want to write my stories! "I would like to enjoy writing, but also using the correct way of putting it down on paper, so far I am a 4.0 student and really want to stay that way, I want to work hard, this is for myself.
I have figured out over the course of my life the more positive you live your life the better the outcome, I love to end my emails with "as always thank you for all that you do" a big percentage of people do not get to hear gratitude every-day, this is my way of telling people I admire them, and I appreciate them so very much.
All of this is great!
