Malcolm X reading was titillating.

Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today. Malcolm X

We need more light about each other. Light creates understanding, understanding creates love, love creates patience, and patience creates unity.   Malcolm X

I have not seen you for a while, Blogg!

So much has gone on since last week. My classes are fantastic. I believe every day I learn something exciting. The courses I am enrolled in this term are challenging but very satisfying. Social work field classes, along with my Internship, are going better than I had ever imagined they could be. Today was an absolute breakthrough. I have always wanted to help the homeless this is one of the reasons I decided to go to school. Astronomy keeps me wanting more every day. Today I found out that this week's summary was so fascinating I received a 101 instead of a 100 %. How exciting. Native American studies have always been one of my favorite classes; learning can be such a fantastic thing. Now we get to English, one of my famous people is Malcolm X, he was an American Icon, he spent years in prison, Malcolm X did not waste much of his time sitting and watching time go by. Malcolm spent his time learning to read. Malcolm wrote, "I do not want to write like I speak, so I changed it. In the movie, Denzel Washington plays Malcolm X, and it was amazing to watch Denzel been walked like Malcolm. The activist became famous for his speeches telling the world "all are created equal," no color or race was any different, we all bleed red. English class reading about Malcolm X was genuinely inspirational. 

Fantastic week, after I started feeling better from Covid! 

Vocabulary word this week sticking with Malcolm X, one of his words was  

Threadbare 

Definition: thin and tattered with age 
Definition: Threadbare means thin from overuse.

Those jeans you wear every day with holes in the knees and thin patches in the rear? They're threadbare. 

Rhonda is threadbare from too much school this week.

Using my brain to succeed

  “It would behoove you to have your  thesis  finely tuned and the logical arguments utilized in support of it tightly woven into a credible, and creatively persuasive tapestry.” ― R. Alan Woods, My week was long. Learning is fun but sometimes it takes longer to write correctly. This week I learned the pros and cons of counterpoints. how to write a refutation. I watched many videos this week so I understood how to do my assignment. Jonny did an excellent job with his lectures, but I like to see how it would be live on YouTube. The assignment this week will help me in the future to help me focus on my essays.  I found the assignment was easier to understand using my peers.  I had never heard of the word  refutation  NOUN the action of proving a statement or theory to be wrong or false: "scientific theory is always tentative, open to refutation" ·  "he fails to give a clear refutation of the argument" Using the word for my argument against a counter...

Learning anew way!

  “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to  live forever.”  – Mahatma Gandhi This week has been a true eye-opener for me, I can see how using my computer for many years of writing has caused me to forget how to use proper grammar. I will need to set goals to relearn how to write. The ideas Orwell has written are a much easier way of explaining things to me, I mean it is still hard, but it puts things in perspective .    This week I have learned so much that I will remember for years to come, reading Orwell this week was an eye-opener. This week I had a hard time with punctuation, I have always had a hard time with it. Today I downloaded an app to help me hear what I wrote, I think it will help me to end a sentence and use my language. I have made some new goals for the rest of the semester, and some longer-term goals as well.    This week was my second week working in my internship, it was nice to hear that someone loved my work,...

This Weeks Lesson, My Age is Showing In My Writing.

 " Even if individual researchers are prone to falling in love with their own theories, the broader process of peer review and institutionalized skepticism are designed to ensure that, eventually, the best ideas prevail.   " Chris Mooney Peer reviews helped me to see the lower levels of my writing skills.  Peer review allows me to share my writing and get feedback to perfect my writing.  The feedback I get will help me revise my paper in a shorter time frame; therefore, It will cut down the time I write. This will allow me to utilize my time on other learning abilities I can perfect, such as vocabulary.  Why do you think we're discussing this idea? This week we were discussing peer review. It is helping me see that I can learn faster to write a perfect paper.  How might these ideas be applicable in future writing (both in and out of class)? I think that peer review or any review that I get from my writing will benefit me in the future. Finding someone will ...
