Understanding Myself

 What Sri Chinmoy has done in his weightlifting is an absolute miracle. He is a man of unique strength, a spiritual man exemplifying mind over matter. He is not merely lifting a dumbbell – he is trying to lift the attitude of the world.”

— Bill Pearl
This week as all weeks was very educational, if you notice my quote, it is the one my favorites from Bill Pearl. Bill Pearl was my sponsor, freind and neighbor in Talent/Phoenix Oregon. Bill was a powerlifter, and body builder he mastered this in his long years. Bill use to tell me that you need to start everyday with a excercise not just for you body but for your mind too, eatting right and excercise can help you keep fit. He would tell me that your strenght is in your mind you can accomplish anything you set it to, do not forget it. these last weeks I have been regaining this, my story I wrote of my strenghts over the years, and thinking of my dear freind Jerry is giving me "ME" back. 

This week in my Social Work class I learned about something I will bring to my Blogg this week. it is called Imposter Syndrom, listening to videos for my class, I couldn't stop crying it was like I was hormonal or something. As I read more of this subject I started seeing how it was affecting me not only for English but others too. 

English this week revising my story, again and again, it brought up things I have not thought of in years. When I gave up on lifting weights I gave up on myself, I did for others, not for me. This week I will take back the strength that I had all along. I just needed a boost from my education to give it back. 

Sometimes it takes one story to change your life!

This week I learned a lot about how to Annotate a story and why. It was hard to understand at first. I hope by practice it can be less frustrating I have to admit this was hard for me. I need to go to the learning center and try to refresh myself. I am having a hard time understanding things this week. 

I don't have to be perfect, It is ok to write things down so it makes sense later. 

My ideas I encountered this week. I need to quit trying to be perfect, not everything is by the book, The less stressed I am the better the words come out on paper. 

The thing that was difficult for me this week was everything, I got caught on learning one thing it took me days to figure it out. I still am not sure how to do the assignment that was asked of me this week. There were so many different things to do and learn this week it got overwhelming. 

The idea of annotating my papers will be helpful in the long run. I want to see that AHA! moment sooner than later. the thing that was difficult for me to understand was everything about the assignment. 

English class Jonny is always organized. 

You Rock

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 ...
