An overall summary of the common themes I read in the text. I have not read that much but I can look at a topic and some what figure out what it is talking about by the word or words it states. The first chapter is about adjusting to the Culture of College, Setting Your Goals, and Developing Your Academic Passion. The way I describe my culture of college, is when I first got here there were a lot of things that could have been for the good and for the bad. Chapter two is about Persist. In this chapter you learn Managing Your College Resources, Your money, and Your Debt. When you are first getting into college it seems harder to manage your money cause you are use to just having your parents give you money when ever you need it, and now being in college and out of state they are not always there when you need that five dollars or what ever amount you may need. The third chapter is how to prioritize. When you think of prioritizing you think of what you can do to manage your time. Well it is half about planning your time and the other half would have to be about Reducing Stress on your self when you get down to “crunch time” When all assignments are due you get a little stressed and this helps whit not getting so stressed out.

As me being a learner I think that it is very hard for me to learn when I am not focused on the task at hand. My mind tends to wonder around and get off task very easily. I just wish I was smarter than I am and that when it comes to being book smart I wish I was that person. When it comes to learning I feel that math and just studying period are the hardest things for me to get done. I have really never had that great of math skills and or studying due to the fact that I am kind of lazy. If I was to have to pick on my self I would have to say that I need more time to find for math and studying of my other subjects in college. I hate to study and I feel that I am a visual learner so when I just sit down and study it feels like I don’t comprehend any thing
Some of my strengths as a learner is how I get my tests scores and I hardly study due to the fact that I am always busy and having something to due when it is baseball season. Baseball season seems to last for 365 days a year cause we are always hitting lifting or running. I think I could help someone with the way they interact with the other kids in the class and how they present there self to an audience. I think that I being a social able person could help someone that is shy in the aspect of trying to interact with other people.
A summary of your learning in this class? I really cant remember what we did in the class cause it really wasn’t that interesting to me, but I did like the eye speeding up work we did it, it was very interesting. I also liked the movie we watched about drinking I think that had a great impact on my way I go about drinking now and it will help to understand if one of my friends happens to fall into this state of mind. I have learned that binge drinking isn’t good and that your friends could go to sleep and never wake up. When I heard this story about that girl it made me stop and think about what I have done to put my life at risk, and the thought crossed my mind what my family would do with out me or I would do with out them, and it had an impact on me to where it is hard for me to even be around people that are drinking.

I have a good feeling about this class and at the same time I feel that it did nothing for me. But what I did take out of this class I that I am really serious about the drinking part and that I could stand to let my parents go through what that poor girl’s family went though. What I have taken from this class is about all. When I leave this class I have really only taken one thing out of it and I hope that if someone didn’t get much out of this class I hope that they got this out of it. I really enjoyed this class and hope you had a great time with us in this class.
When taking this course for future students I would have to say don’t be lazy and get the blogs done and don’t wait till the last minute to do your final essay like I am doing. I will learn more to listen to what other people have to say instead of them listening to me I will be more open for other peoples appoint and not be so one sided like I us to be before I took this class.
I wish I would have known that we have to type a lot and that when the teacher says she needs this and this done then she really means that she needs it done. I have made it through the course by just wanting to be interested in the class but in eight weeks I think it was hard to really find an interest in what the teacher was talking about. I am

Academic plan

The purpose of going to college is first to get an education and second to play baseball. My education has always been first on the list of things to do. Sometimes I get a little side tracked and fall a little behind like I am in your class. I am planning on getting a degree from butler in the Nursing program. I have wanted to be a nurse for a long time because I like working with other people and have always been very good at adapting to any environment. I plan on furthering m education to become an registered nurse and I will hopefully attend the University of Kansas Or Kansas State to get that degree I have always dreamed of. With that in mind I hope that if I don’t get another offer to play baseball that is were I will end up because like I said before baseball comes after the education. And if that will hinder the fact of me getting a degree baseball will just have to be put on hold because I plan on having a family and need to be able to provide adequate money and food and shelter for my family. When I get to the next level or a big university I plan on having the right girl in mind to settle down with and hope she is ok with my plan in life, but if not I am not living life to please anyone but me and my family and if she cant except that then hit the road.

Coping with change

When coping with change there is many things that happen. First thing that changed in my life was being on my own without my parents. When moving away from your parents for the first time things get better and worse at the same time. The things that get better are the fact that I ma trying to become a man at not still living at home and sponging off my parents. I have learned a lot of things that have been a positive impact on my life. I deal with these changes by working out and hanging out with friends and just being a college student. Baseball has been about the same except for the fact that it is like a job and I take it seriously when in high school was just like going through the motions because I was the best hitter and there was no one to really push me to get better except for self motivation. When playing college baseball everyone is good and on the team because they have s certain talent that the coaches think can help the team win. When hitting in batting practice I have to look at it like a game situation and hope t get better and get better to help my team out during the season. I also have to gain the upper classmen’s respect on and off the field. Meaning I have to show them I will always work hard and help to do anything to help them out in a situation that presents itself.

community service

Community service is a good thing to be involved in. I have never participated in community service but if I ever get the chance to I would definitely take part in it. I wish I would have had the chance to do some community service or something along those lines to help out the community. When I hear community service I think of the ghettoes or the slums. Working in those areas I think of community service as trying to reach out to the kids in dyer need to be helper whether it is with gang prevention of other things like drugs and violence. Professional people tend to take part in a lot of community service and help out the community. Some professional athletes take part in make foundations to help out the poverty striking people. Rappers tend to not help the situation with promoting lots of money, sex, and violence with there lyrics. When I ever get a chance to work with the community I would love to work with homeless kids and try to help them out as much as I can and hope they learn a lot from me.

Academic Honesty

Academic Honesty is a major role that may play in some students role as a college student or any other students.Academic honesty is a major thing that I believe in and respect a lot. When it comes to school work I want to do it all by myself so I get the most out of my education and will be ale to succeed in more than just my job. When I see someone cheating or coping someone else’s work it makes me sad because whatever they are coping they aren’t learning. When they aren’t learning cause they are coping, makes me feel like they are letting there self down. I am not going to sit here and tell u I have never cheated or copied someone else’s work because that would be lying. I have copied but I came to realize is that nothing good comes out of copying or cheating off of someone else. I talked to my mom which is a high school counselor and she says that if you cheat you get nowhere in life and become behind and everyone passes you in society. Then talking to a college teacher about this she stated that when I give work I hope they will work with other people but get something out of it.

TIme Management

Time management is a big part of success in the real world. When trying to build a schedule with kids or anything that has to do with being prompt and on time, time management is a great deal to over come. Time management I think is something that other people have different ways of explaining. When you get time to think about what you are going to plan for the day is a great example of time management. Time management is a big part of living and learning life lessons and how to deal with problems u may have.
