My Learning Fall and Rise

When coming to class in August 12 I was already coming a bit late and I felt anxious because I had a AP class in the beginning of school. So I had general idea on how AP teachers acted, but when I walked in I felt welcomed and overwhelmed on how open the class is. Knowing we'll be posting blogs was something I would expect in a million years for a AP class.

When I took my seat, I noticed my teacher was a male which was a first. I never had a male English teacher, I always had female English teachers. The options the class was given by Dr. Preston was very unexpected, especially when we the class had the choice to choose how we wanted to learn for the rest of the year.

Doing the Journals was fairly to do and the Blogs weren't hard to do at all, but the difficult part was to memorize poetries. For me this was a difficult task because I have a awful memory, I would always forget things and I still do. Then posting videos to prove we memorized the poem was nerve racking because I'm very insecure about look.

The hard part was when we had to do an essay which was very standard, but I hate writing essays and I find writing essays very difficult. I realized doing all these Blog posts and Journal entries wasn't very different from doing an essay. Once I started doing the essay it didn't feel very stressful from previous experiences. Doing the Journal entries was very helpful towards writing a essay.

Throughout this semester I've been unconsciously been making routines for school and outside school. This class has been excersing the best trait I have which is being understanding. It never crossed my mind is when writing you want your audience to understand you. What didn't cross my is being understood comes both ways from author to reader and reader to author. I always thought it was author to reader, and this information has been very important and helpful in improving my writing skills. This journey from August 12 to present day has been very insightful and constructive in building my personality and techniques that will help me forever.

How did I do?

I'm interested in your feedback.

Self-Reliance Part 4

• If you see good idea take it don't stay loyal to the bad idea
• If u had an idea but the next day is different so what you are just interrupting for it to be understood
• People who really know that person understand the action they do and understand the value of his/her action
• People earn respect are those who don't try to earn respect but just act like themselves 

Honorable Quote: 'People who look at you or come across with you, they get an idea or image of who you are (one's characteristics)'

First Impressions on Self-Reliance 2

• latin the roots
• impersonating somone you die
• thinking of something but to ashamed to say but someone selse said it and take the credit

Ralph Waldo Emerson creates environment, where, everyone could relate even though this essay is 150 years old. It's such a relate-able piece of concept because it shows no matter the time period, who you are, we are all humans. Ralph stated if we impersonate someone and become it, then, that who you were before dies. Why you ask? That person who you were before is nowhere to be seen.

The Value Of My Time

   Take it from someone who doesn't invest in their time properly that doing so will not get you nowhere in the future and right now. What I'm doing in my time is playing video game and of course I'm going nowhere with that. I could go pro in gaming I know I do have the skill to do it, but there's a slim chance I'll make it and a huge risk I'm not willing to take. Everything you do can be a benefit for yourself if you only invest time in it. For example, I explained how I can turn gaming beneficial for myself if only I truly invest time in it. My main point is, please invest your time wisely for the benefit of your future.
