This week I learned to not procrastinate things till the last minute because it will effect my grade. I learned that I am growing up and soon I will be in college and the professors will not remind me about due dates and they will not accept my late work and if I fail, I fail and I will not be able to fix it. I learned that college will be harder than high school and that scares me because procrastinating will not even be an option then. I also learned that a good way to take note while reading is to take a picture of the page and then put it in a power point and write a short paragraph explaining the point of that page. Picture notes really helped me gather my thoughts and stay "in the zone" while reading. I become distracted so easily that this was a good way for me to not get distracted because I do not really have to stop and take notes i just have to grab my phone and take a picture and look back later. I learned this week that when writing I like to be able to write about whatever I want to, instead of having something I have to write about, I find it easier to write more when I have a topic I enjoy talking about or have a lot to say about. I enjoy writing in a letter format, and knowing that I can get everything i have to say out and know that no one will see it.

This week I wrote my This I Believe paper. I always learn stuff about myself when I write. I learn stuff because things I would never say out loud just come out on paper. It is easier to write things down because you do not have to worry about anyone hearing it and judging you for the things you say. The This I Believe paper was a great project, I hated doing it, I hated the idea that I had to record my voice and play it for everyone, I hated the idea that everyone got to hear my thoughts, when I write i like to write because no one will hear or see it, but now that it is over and i have watched other people’s, and learned what other people believe in, I see that the things people believe can really help other people, because the things people say are something’s that other people need to hear. As we get older we do not realize that sometimes just hearing the right thing at the right time can change our perspective on everything. My friend said something to me that last night that i needed to hearl. She said “The thing is is that people do not have the same morals and thoughts as you. I used to get mad about people’s actions too and think how tf can they do that but it’s just that people weren't raised like you and they don't believe in the same things as to which is right and which is wrong. And you can't change that and maybe that's why you like being friends with people who don't think like you because it gives you a new perspective but you can't change who they are.” This was something that changed my feelings toward someone on something i thought I would be mad at them for, but after hearing this I realized i could not stay mad because you can’t change a person and how they were raised. |
