Panther Country 2010 4H English: Things you Don't Know
Panther Country 2010 4H English: Things you Don't Know
Things you don't know about me is I had Cancer, and I can sing. When I was 2 years old I had Cancer. I didn't have a fun childhood like everybody did. Most of my time were in the hospital. I remember one time I was in the hospital on Christmas. I couldn't go home because I was so sick. I lost my hair twice and I would have to wear hats on my head in school. In that time I was in a choir called The Freedom Youth Mass Choir of Philadelphia. My aunt is the founder and directer of this choir. She also had an adult choir to they are called Freedom Choir of Philadelphia. People from different church's come together and go around the country and sing. 99% of the youht choir went to college. We won a Gospel Competition in New York. They all prayed for me and my family as we went though. Now its been 11 years that I'v been free from cancer. Im so happy and I pray for families that are going though any sickness in their lives.

One thing that you may not no about me I'm a music head. I have always loved music in all shapes or forms since i was little. Starting last year i joined a music group and really began to excel in my career choice. I always sung to myself because i never looked at it as a talent just something else i could do. My ninth grade year living in Chicago someone herd me singing an told me i should really sing out loud and be heard. My best friend father was really deep into music did songs with R. Kelly and many others. I sang for him and he said i really should start thinking about it as a career. I came home to my cousin and his group and he welcomed me with open arms and i been doing it ever since.

Three Things Im Lacking
Three things I'm lacking this year is studying,having work organized,and doing homework on time. These things sometimes put me behind on work because I sometimes get distracted,and that makes me feel upset.The most important out of these three is studying,I lack this because when I get home I always get distracted by the game or television.The things I need to do to fix my problems is to put that stuff to the side.Second,if I could study I could get work Organized,but I see no changes.When I get my work I sometimes put it my bag without it in folder.That's reasons why I be losing work,but i no what I need to do.I have to get folders and place them in there. Finally,I have problems doing homework for lots of reasons.One is being distracted,being on the phone,and playing the game.I can overcome this by just putting it to the side and just love my work.
Things About Me
One thing about me is having potential to do everything.When I'm determined to something I often hear someone say "he got potential".My dreams was to be a professional football player,but later on I started to love baseball.Things people don't no about me is being smart and athletic.I can show improvement in weak areas and have people wondering what happen.I would like to keep up the good work from here and now.

Panther Country 2010 4H English: Panther Country 2010 4H English: Three Things Im LACKING
The assignment giving to me to find the three things I am lacking in was challenging for me. The reason this task seem to be hard for me was because I wanted to choose the three things I knew I need improving in order to become more successful in my academics and future and career goals after taking great care of reviewing myself I came to the conclusion that the three things I am lacking in are grades ,studies and attitude these three things are I believe are the things that if I improve and work hard to change will help me become student and successful in any career I choose.
The reason I believe I’m lacking in my studies is because I spend most of my time playing and chilling with friends. I think if I spend less time with my friends and more time on my school work I wouldn’t have the problem I have with my studies. To change this problem I will study every night if needed and ask questions when I need help with an assignment. However if I keep lacking my grades will reflect and I don’t think that they will be good.
I also lack in my grades they aren’t as high as I know they could be. My grades are very important because they reflect on me as a person and they can make me or break me. When I say they can make me or break me I mean that if there good I will get good opportunities in life. Break me means that I can get bad grades and make nothing of my life. I know my grades aren’t as high as they could be because I don’t apply myself enough. I know if I really stay focused, applied my self more and stay determined on doing well my grades will improve 100%.
The last and final thing I need to improve on is my attitude. I know this because I get angry way to easily not to mention I take things out of proportion. I would like work on this because my attitude can make people dislike me and make people not want to be around me. If I don’t change I won’t get far in life because no one would want to help me. Therefore if I work on keeping a positive attitude people wouldn’t mind helping me in life.
Therefore if I work on all these things above I can achieve all the goals I set for myself . This gives me a good reason to motivate myself and push myself to work on the things that I need to work on.

Habbits of mind
Of the 16 habits of mind mentioned in the article sadly i only have managed to apply three to my life successfully. The three are Thinking independently, applying past knowledge to new situations and striving for accuracy. The three of 16 habits in which i need to apply to my life are consistency,listening with understanding and empathy, and responding with awe.
Thinking Independently
Thinking independently is one of many skills i am good at. When it comes to thinking up creative ways to life i am an expert. My thinking skills are above and beyond Albert Einsteins, although i do not consider myself a Guinness. I love thinking things up and applying them to the way i see life. My thinking capacity gives me a various perspective to life. My thinking skills lets me see the world in colors as suppose to others who view the world in one dimension of black and white.
Applying past knowledge to new situations
My grandmother once told me the past is the future. Whatever i am told i listen to carefully and take notes on because you never know when it might come in handy later on in life. especially the words of your elders, every word of wisdom is nourishing for the soul. Knowing that my elder has experienced life's struggles far beyond my capacity i listen to their story and hold on to their every words as if my life alone depends on it. There has been a few times where i have had to bring up past memories of events and stories to help me out of a few sticky situations.
Striving for Accuracy
striving for accuracy is one of my strongest habits of mind. One thing about me is that i am the kind of person that never gives up, i strive for the best and nothing but the best. If i think my best is not going to be enough i struggle until perfection. I m a little girl with a big heart and a little mind. I strive for precision and accuracy in my daily day to day life.
Consistency
W.O.W this is my weakest of the 16 habits of mind. I am either on or I'm late. I am usually more late than on time to turn in my homework assignments. The problem is not that i don't do them, i am just to lazy to put the efforts in it to See it to the end. My inconsistency has made my grades suffer, i am not usually the kind of person to get of track but i have just been slacking due to personal problems. I need to get back on track or suffer the consequences later which I'm not sure i want to do.
Listening with understanding and empathy
This might be worse than the other one. As we all know nobody on this earth is perfect except god. Well this includes several not one of my imperfections. I have this terrible habits of pretending I'm listening t people when they are putting their time and effort into something, literally pouring their heats out to me but the reality of it is that I'm either asleep or worried about my own problems. i have these selfish thought about why i should listen to your problems and help you find solutions when i got my own prole ms that are pro bally worse than yours to work on.Selfishness is also ma contribution to this habit.
this also falls in with responding with wonder and awe
I may give you the impression that I'm impressed or into what your saying but trust me i am not I'm in another world. It's only a false sense of wonderment and awe that says in other words this is taking to long get to the point so i could leave.

My dreams and aspirations for the school year are to graduate from high school and get accepted into a good affordable college. A high school diploma and a college degree is a must have in the kind of family i am from. I am from a family with successful lawyers, social worker, computer engineers and doctors who went to school, finished and got multiples degrees. With a burden on my shoulder to meet their expectation of a perfect child i strive day and night to stay focused on my goals and make it to the finish line, no matter what the obstacles are that i have to go through . I know that i can make it through high school with my diploma, go to college get my degrees in nursing and walk out proudly with my degrees knowing that i have accomplish something great, because I Ami Rose kwaidah am a survivor.
One thing you dont know about me.
ONE THING MANY PEOPLE DONOT KNOW ABOUT ME IS I CAN BE VERY ARGUEMENTIVE.I USALLY DO NOT HAVE TO LET PEOPLE SEE THAT SIDE OF ME BECAUSE WELL THEY WOULD BE A LITTLE SHOCKED.OVER THE YEARS I HAVE IMPROVED ON THIS SO MUCH I DID NOT DO IT ALONE I HAD HELP FROM MY FAILY OF COURSE BECAUSE I WAS NEVER ARGUEMENTIVE TOWARDS THEM ONLY PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF FAMILY THIS USE TO OCCUR OFTEN BECAUSE I BELEAVE IN THE TRUST NO ONE BUT FAMILY SAYING BUT MY FAILY HELPED ME REALIZE THAT ITS OK TO LET OTHERS IN.i LISTENED TO MY FAILY MEMEBERS AND UNDERSTOOD WHERE THEY WERE COMING FROM SO NOW I HARDLY ARGUE ANYMORE BUT DONT BE SURPRISED IF YOU SEE THAT SIDE I MEAN OF COURSE I HOPE YOU NEVER DO BECAUSE I HAVE MATURED SO MUCH SENTS THOSE DAYS.
The three things that i need to improve about me are getting to school everyday, stop procrasinating, and also work first, play later. I can apply these to my everyday life because your attendance to mean alot because once a teacher go over something for you in class, but you just happen to be absent on that day of school, what happens when you come back to school and you have a test on that very same thing that you missed, now your clueless and have a test coming your way. Also procrasinatoion plays a big part in a bunch of things that i need to do. For an example I have been saying that once i get a chance to go get my state I.D i needed to do that, no work today and yet i still didnt go get my I.D. Next I try to live life for everyday, but why not just do everything that you have to do, like school work first, make sure you get to work because your going to be mad about that check if you dont make it there, then have fun and hang out with your friends. The three things that i just mentioned are going to be the things that i plan on working on for the remainder of the school year, to help better me as a person also.

Habits of Mind
Things I Need To Improve by Lauren Lindsey
This is my last year in high school and next year when I start college I do not want to start with the same bad habits that I had in high school. Many things people do knowing its bad and they still do it any way and that how I feel about some of academic behaviors. After reading the article I realize some of the habits I’m lacking are Managing Impulsively, Thinking and Communicating with Clarity and Precision and Thinking Interdependently. These are the three habits that I am going to work on improving before entering college.
Managing impulsively is my biggest problem. I am organized but I don’t plan or follow my plan the way I should. I will think a plan through and when it becomes to put the plan in action I don’t follow it or change at the last minute. This is a very bad habit because when I need things to be in order they are not and I end up behind. If I was to manage impulsively everything would be done with ease instead of so rushed.
When I’m explaining something I tend to stop mid-sentence because the way I thought about what I was going to say sounds different now that I began to say it out loud. The habit Thinking and Communicating with Clarity and Precision would help me a lot in this problem. If I thought more clearly my explanation would be clear. When I tell someone something I don’t want to give them the wrong idea about what I’m saying. I think it’s hard for me to explain things because I think with my emotions. I try to relate everything to an emotion and although I know how I feel I don’t know how to explain to others what I feel or make them understand if I do find a way to explain. I could really use help in this habit.
Thinking interdependently is the ability to work with others and understanding how this can benefit one’s work. I have no problems with people or get along with others but when it comes to work I prefer to work alone. Then reason I like working alone is because I know exactly how I want things and it’s hard to explain a vision. If I work in a group I like to do separate work and just collaborate at the end instead of working as one. This is a bad habit because their will not always be times when I can do things my way, so this needs to improve before college.
Managing impulsively is the habit that I think will be the most helpful now. Thinking and communicating with Clarity and Precision and Thinking Interdependently should be easier to improve then managing impulsively. As of right now I pledge to improve my bad habits of mind and improve my intelligence. Before I get to college these goals must be completed!

Panther Country 2010 4H English: Three Things Im LACKING
Panther Country 2010 4H English: Three Things I'm LACKING
The three things I am lacking in is studying, patience and being consistent. To me this means I am very forgetful and forget very essential things such as things my family may ask me to do. People may tell me to do things and i totally forget about it. You could also use resignation as a character trait to explain me. Now as evident you can determine exactly how comfortable I am being as I tell this truth.
When I get home I am very exhausted from a hard day's work of school. All I really want to do is go in my room and fall asleep. Or when I have to and maybe find the time to study i get bored. If I have no choice but to do it and have to read and go over the things without an actual assignment I really don't wanna be bothered with it.
Here's a big one. Patience is not a good word to describe my self character not what so ever. I do not like being in one place at one time and focus on one thing. For instance classwork, homework or an assignment. If it's not something I'm interested in then a find a way to avoid it or not pay attention.
Consistency is not a great one either. I don't really try new things I just do something different every time something has to be done. Not even intentionally. I guess I can be described as a whole unorganized person. One day I will throw my clothes on the floor another you'll a find a different pair on a chair on basket. Maybe downstairs in the dinning room.
So as you know these are three improvements I need to make and work on. I want to become accountable and let others rely on me. Reliance will be the key to my success. Whether it's for myself or others. I can't wait to get started and began a journey.

Habits of the mind
When I was reading the article Describing the Habits of Mind which was very interesting by the way I have found that I am a few of the following:
- Persisting
- Managing Impulsivity
- Listening with Understanding and Empathy
- Responding with Wonderment and Awe
The ones i KNOW i need to improve on is:
- Striving for Accuracy
- Thinking Interdependently
Persisting
Am a great problem solver.The things that I have to over come and solve is school work. I never give up on it so easy. Even if it takes awhile i still don't give up I just keep at it until something pops up that makes me say "DUH!". Most of the time I have another alternative if my first strategy didn't work. In my last year english and this year english 4 class u have to know what information to wright down how to take notes and get a idea of how the person wants thier work done or you just dont get a grade for the work you gave in.
Managing Impulsivity
This is a easy one the proof that i think before i act is that am still in brook. If I said everything I wanted I would have been in a lot of fights, and probly kicked out. But thats the type of thing I try to tell people think about what you say before you say it because words are powerful and it can build you or brake you. You just need to know how to use them.I have a lot of self-discipline because of my perents they taught me that there are always consequences to your actions. They always told me u will make mistakes but try not to make a lot of BIG ones. I always look at other options before I act. Thats just how I always am. Like my friends come to me for advise i mean ALL the time and am glad to help them because they know I dont judge no one and I dont take sides I find out both sides of the story and find a solution to the whole thing and try to avoid as many problems as possible.
Listening with Understanding and Empathy
Wow I just explained this from above but ok.. the reason i picked this one is because my friends told me out of all of them this is the one am more like. I guess its because I listen to all their problems and try to help them to the best of my knowledge. To see who is wrong and who was right. (since I explained this one already am going to wright another one to fill in)
Responding with Wonderment and Awe
(Ok this one is a filler so its going to be small) puzzles and strategy is what me and my dad do all the time. Me and him go on the internet and find riddles and puzzles for each other and try to quiz each other. we figure it strangthens are minds and its just fun do. Thinking outside the box is what I do best. If you know me you would agree :D
Alright on to the ones I need help with.
Striving for Accuracy
Everyone isn't prefect, like my hand writing sucks. Its soo sloppy it makes my work look bad. After all this time i still didn't change it or attempt to change it and make it better. My grade are another thing I know I could do better then what am doing now.To prove am trying am actually doing this and trying to get a good grade in this class it might not be what she wants but hey at least I can say I tryed instead of giving up.Am also trying to get my GPA up to make my people proud of me I might not get what I want but am still going to try.
Thinking Interdependently
When I was younger I never liked being in groups, and well I still don't like working with others. I dont know what it is I just don't I work better by myself because the people in the group depend on me anyway and make me do all the work. So its like am doing the work by myself anyway I might as well do it on my own. most people am paired up with they don't want to hear other people ideas anyway but I have to at least try and work with them but I really don't see me enjoying it unless its with my friends.
Habits of Mind
Things I Do by Lauren Lindsey
One who is intelligent demonstrates habits proving their intelligence. These habits are called Habits of Mind and are shown through intelligent behavior. In the article Learning and Leading with Habits of Mind 16 habits are described. Of these 16 habits there are three that I strongly follow. These three habits are Listening with Understanding and Empathy, Thinking Flexibly and Applying Past Knowledge to New Situations.
Listening with Understanding and Empathy is very important for anybody. The reason I believe this is such an important habit is because to learn or comprehend is nearly impossible without listening. Being able to listen is not easy especially listening with empathy. When something is bothering one of my friends I’m always the first person they come to. I never judge and try to put myself in that person’s shoes. Another thing that I think is important is not to compare people’s situations because even though it may seem small to me it could really hurt that person. Listening also helps build trust which is my number one value. Listening with understanding and empathy helps other people while helping expand my knowledge.
The second habit that I show is Thinking Flexibly. This habit is related to Listening with Understanding and Empathy. When one thinks flexibly they’re able to see what the majority may not see. I see this quality in myself because sometimes when I’m solving a problem I might find the same answer as others but I found it in a different way or I may ask a question that will make everyone else wonder. The relation between these two habits is to understand in way most can’t. I think flexibly because I’m always open for new ideas and experiences. This is shown in my intelligence because I’m curious about different cultures, religions and histories, where a lot of people really aren’t that interest because that’s not what they are. Being closed minded is ignorance so I try my hardest to think flexibly.
The last and most important habit to me is Applying Past Knowledge to New Situations. This habit is so important because it can branch into so many different areas, for example the past could be yesterday, last year or hundreds of years before I was born. New situations could be in my life personally, as an African American or a U.S citizen. If there were more people who applied their past to their present it would not be as many homicides, wars or closed minded people. I refuse to dwell on one bad situation in my life when there have been so many good times to be happy for. Whatever mistakes I’ve made it’s over now all I have to do is learn from it. This is a very important habit that I believe everyone should try to follow.
These are the habits that prove my intelligence. I will try to expand my intelligence using other habits but as of right now the three that can be examined through my intelligent behavior are Listening with Understanding and Empathy, Thinking Flexibly and Applying Past Knowledge to New Situations. These habits will help me further my intelligence.

learning and leading with habits of mind
I found learning and listening with habits of mind a very interesting read all these 16 habits has played a huge part in my life in some way. The three that I possess at this point in my life are listening with understanding and empathy, striving for accuracy, and applying past knowledge to new situations. Have you ever had a disagreement with somebody and you talk so much about the situation that you lack to even listen to the other persons point of view so you never come to a solution. I always take it upon myself in every situation to listen with understanding and empathy to another person’s perspective because they may be informing on some wise information so it’s a habit of mind to constantly listen to people. I always give my opinion on the situation because I always feel like I should be heard and understood also I want the same respect. If people would just listen to each other I think a lot more things would get done. Sometimes iam guilty of ignoring other peoples point of view but I try to be understanding because I want to be understood. I take into consideration that everybody makes mistakes in every situation. Because I can strongly listen to others opinions I can strongly disagree. Iam always striving for accuracy in all of my work why? Because iam a perfectionist I like for my work to be clearly understood if it is not I like to go back and make it understandable. I take criticism very well but I do not like taking no for an answer no to me is unacceptable I can and I will strive for accuracy. I try not to just do work and rush it I like to take my time and perfect my work .sometimes I make mistakes in my work I can admit that but I learn from my mistakes in my work. Striving for accuracy is important to me because I think that my work reflects me as a person and the readers view on me. Have you ever turned in work to teacher and it’s not exactly correctly done and that teacher breaks you down to the point where you are emotionally hurt well it took one teacher out of all my school years to break me down and that one experience has build me up so well that I have strived for accuracy ever sents.Applying past knowledge to new situations is one of my greatest abililtys.I never like to make the same mistake twice. If I’m in a situation rather it’s good or bad and I have been under similar circumstances before I will apply past knowing to new situations. sometimes I catch myself saying I remember when....something is happen right then and there once I say that I discover that I can pull back from past experience and apply it to the circumstances now. I take all of my ability as a good thing and I put them to use the best way I can. Some times to apply past knowledge to new situations are the best thing to do. Am not a responsible risk taker because I cannot jeopardize any of my work no matter if it is work at school or working on a job. I do not have urges to take risk just because now I love an adventure but I believe that an adventure and a risk are to different things. Togo on an adventure you know what you are getting into you know all of the risks you no what’s up ahead on adventures things are currently planned you know your location. To take a risk based on an impulse is just mind blowing to me. I have to know my next step at all times some people just don’t believe in planning because they feel as though when you plan things they never get done well not me my plans are always planned step by step day by day. Being a responsible risk taker well I never heard of that type of mind thinkers but seems as though they do exists. To take a risk responsible I think means that the risk is well thought of and perfected before the task is complete. I would like to become a responsible risk taker because aim wondering if aim missing something am I not being informed on information that they are maybe not maybe so but I'll find out so I guess Aim taking a risk and it’s safe to safe that this is a responsible risk because I know the outcome and I no the risk. Finding humor in situations is something that I can improve on sometimes iam guilty of being really seiousr on certain topics but i just beleave that my veiws on certain things are stronger than other.I think that humor does the brain well but I rather be truthful about my thoughts then falsely find humor in a situation’s would rather voice my thoughts out loud not to ruin the laughing party but to just let others know that my view on the issues is diffrent.I know how to have a good laugh though Iam not or I do not think iam always serious but I believe that there is a time and a place for everything. I respect other people’s views if something is amusing to me but I know the person next to me does not find it humorous I hold my laughter out of respect for them. I think that some people find humor at other peoples expense I think that some children in particular find humor in picking on other children kind of like a bully but vocally. Never let other find humor at your own expense I do not think that is right. Another thing I need to work on is persistence sometimes I pick up one too many task at time. I think that many people are guilty of this because I like to get everything done at one time. I have decided that if I start one project I will not began another until that one is complete why because it’s too much confusion at once then I tend to forget about one thing because my focus is somewhere else. This is not intentional because I like to complete and turn in everything that I do perfectly but sometimes it’s a mission impossible task.persistance is an ability that I lack but can improve on in time. All of my habits both good and bad makes me so I do not force any of them away I endorse all my flaws and make them work for me the best way that I can.Iam still young and growing I have plenty of time to process and improve upon all of my habit.

Habits Of Mind
The habits of the mind was a pretty interesting piece of reading. There were many that I lacked and there were many that I use. Out of the 16 the three that I need to work on, they are taking reasonable risks , listening with understanding and empathy and lastly striving for accuracy.
People say risk is worth the reward, but you it is a 50-50 chance of failing and wining. I most of the time academically I don’t take risks because I am so conscious of grade I don’t take many risks. When I am outside of school doing other activities I am willing to take risk because its not that serious of an event but I second guess my willingness to take risk when I’m in school. I can apply taking risk in school because it could probably help me out too take risk in other areas in life.
My listening skills aren’t the best and I really need to learn how to really comprehend what people are telling me the first time. When people talk to me I really hear what there saying but at the same time I’m trying to figure out what will my response be and I don’t think that’s good. According to this chapter of the habits of mind it says we spend 55 percent of our lives listening to other people talk. But inside of school we spend about 90 percent of the time listening to our teachers and our classmates, but when I go to the next level of education which is college the professor will be lecturing us with a lot of information.
Striving for excellence is on my menu but I don’t take advantage of really trying to do this. This may be one of my down falls because I strive for mediocrity and not greatness or excellence. For example when I practice for basketball I just practice for a little while but not really trying to be the best at it, and in school I only really try to do my best really when there’s a project or something major. But that’s going to change because in order to be the best you have to put in the work and I will change my work ethic so I can attend one of the best schools.
Habits of The Mind will enter into my thought process when I am trying to do things because it will help me to become a better student when I have to listen to people talk and when I’m trying to do something to the best of my ability.

What I am lacking in.
Being persisting, listing with understanding and empathy, and managing impulsivity. Me lacking in persisting comes to mind a few times because of the way I strategize. And I do not have that many methods for problem solvings. Listening with understanding and empathyis another because when I am listening I do not hear cause it does not interest me. Last but not least managing impulsivity, I do not even know what that mean.
When it comes to persisting that is having my brain make almost near perfect work. Trying to find a solution for a problem, and I can not come up with it right away I will leave it alone for a some time. Plus I can only stay focused for only certain amount of time. Anyway I can get distracted real fast if anybody say something funny I am done for the day.
Listening with Understanding and Empathy I think that means thinking before acting. Sometimes I do not think cause of too many distractions in my face. Reflective individuals consider alternatives and consequences of several possible direction before they take action. Soon as I get an idea I never think about the consequences because I think that there is none.
Managing Impulsivity, for one I can not tell what that is. In order to do this you have to make baby goals to get to the very big goal. Example graduating highschool, you must come to school first. Then study and constantly do the work there. I always go with my gut when I think I have the answer, so I never turn to other options. So in order for me to become better at this I must be self disciplined most of the time.
I believe that I am not so good at these H.O.M's because I do ask for the help of somebody else. Also I do not stay focused on the little things like studying for a test. I got to stay on point in order to become better in english. To me the only way that I can stay focused is to know that I am going to get money for it. I know one day that I am going to become better, practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect.

Habits I'm Good In
After I looked at all the things that I was lacking I also noticed all of the things I do good in like Listening with understanding and empathy, and Thinking and communicating with Clarity, and last but not leas Taking responsible risk. In these next paragraphs I'm going to show you how and why.
When I mean Listening with understanding and empathy I mean I listen to what people say and take it to the heart. For example,my mother told me "If I fall for something I will fall for anything". After she told m that I always believed it and Understood what she was saying with empathy. Not all people can understand and listen with empathy. That's what I feel like I'm good in.
Another thing I think I'm good with is Thinking and communicating with clarity an presesison. The reason why I think this because when I read something and have to present it to someone else my communication is very well clear and it's precised. For example, I had a 3 partner work sheet and none of my partners knew what they was doing so I reread it an communicated it to my group clear and with precision to the point they understood it.That's why i think I'm good with thinking and communicating with clarity and precision.
Last but not least I think I'm also good in taking responsible risk. The reason being because I have done it before and it turned out right.When your taking responsible risk you have to be careful. For example,I tried to take a responsible risk by turning in my school paper 3weeks earlyer then it was due and when i did that the flash drive that it was on it ended up being broke. So some times you have to be a responsible person in order to take responsible risk.
Now that I have given you all of the things that I was good at and bad I came to conclusion that every body in the world have flaws and this blog was to tell people to look at them selves and see your not perfect. That's why I picked all of those thing i was good n and all of the things i was bad in. Thanks for reading my paper.
Three Things Im LACKING
Have you ever sat back and thought about some of the things your lacking. My self personally I think that the things I'm lacking are Striving for accuracy, Managing Impulsivity, and persisting. After looking at these things I have found out why I'm lacking in theses areas. So therefore sit back and read on why I'm lacking.
Striving for Accuracy, the reason why I pic this because I o things and don't care if there right or wrong. First, many reason's why i do this is because I wait to the last minute to do stuff and never take the time and go over it. I want to strive for accuracy because as a young adult and on my way to college I need to be more prepared and have my things together. That is the reason why i picked striving for accuracy for on of my lacking areas.
Another thing I'm lacking and want t change is Managing Impulsive. The reason why I said this because after reading the article it was saying "Children never thing before they do things". I holler and scream when I need help and don't understand whats going one. Basically I'm saying I need to think more flexibly. That's what else I'm lacking.
The last thing that I would say I'm laking in is persistence. I'm never on time with my assignments. Some people call me a procrastinator. It seems like the only thing I'm presistaning to is my cell phone.(Laughing). The reason why i want and need to change being persistence because I want to be a better person and if I'm not on time with my work what make you think I'm going to be on time for a career. Thar's the reason why i would say I'm lacking persistence.
Coming to concluson, I have found out that I'm lacking things i need to succeed in life. I'm going to try hard to change these now that I have observed my surroundings and noticed that I'm lacking. I will try to make change in Striving for accuracy,Managing Impulsive, and persistence.

Habits I need to work on.
While they were many HOBs' that I already use on that list, there were a few that I don't. The first one being taking responsible risks. If I don't think I can do it, I Don't. The other one I chose was remaining open to learning. This is the worst habit I have. The last one I chose was applying old knowledge to new situations. That is kond of bad too.
I need to be alot more open to taking responsible risks. It is jus that I am very afraid of failing. Running from the problem is also like failing too, beacuse I never tried in the first place. Who knows what would of happened. Maybe there would of been a good outcome from it. In the real world, people take risk everyday to go where they need to be. I need to become one of those people beacuse I am growing up, and it's happening fast.
I really need to start remaing open to continous learning too. Honestly I only think that learning should be done from 7:41am and 2:45pm on Mon through Fri. I know that sounds crazy right? I'm just so use to it, so after I get out of school in the afternoon I don't be wanting to hear about anything that has to do with school. The crazy part about everything is that I know thats not the only time people are learning. I am about to go off to college and I can't go with that attitude. Way more studying is done in college than in high school so I need to really work on that.
My last HOB that needs work is applying old knowledge to new situations. Sometimes I make things harder than they have to be. I don't think about stuff from the past because, actually I really don't know why. Reading this article made me realize that I do that half of the time. Now I can really see it. Especially when i'm in my calculus class. I took pre-calc last year, but I never think of those methods in class. I'm making the class harder than it actually is and I don't need that this year.
I am really going to start applying these habits soon, so that I can get used to them. These habits will also help me in the future. A question to myself is how if I don't use any of them though? Reading that chapter really was enlightening. It hepled me see things that I needed to work on, and things that I am good at. My only challenge is actually taking the step to get into these habits. I know that I can do it.

Reading that chapter really was enlightening. It hepled me see things that I needed to work on, and things that I am good at. My only challenge is actually taking the step to get into these habits. I know that I can do it.
Things I already do
From the chapter I read I already do most of those things. There were a few that stood out to me though. One being persisting, I can never leave anything undone. The other was thinking flexibly, I always look at things from different points of view. Striving for accuracy definitly caught my attention too. I hate for something to be half way done or not have all my effort put into it.
I chose persisting because like I already stated I don't feel comfortable leaving things undone. If I have to do something it's my task and it should be completed. It could be from washing dishes or having to do a research paper. If I start something today I have this urge in me that I want to finish it all today. Another example, doing this assignment. I could finish half today and come back tomorrow and finish. That's just not the person I am though. It has to be all done today or I will feel as though nothing has been accomplished.
Thinking flexibly is another HOB that I'm already used too. Most people should of chose this one too. As for me, I have many different point of views on many things. The reason for that is beacuse my opinion is not the only one that counts in alot of things. I learned to listen and try to see what other people see sometimes so I can see where they are coming form. Even if I don't agree with them, I don't have too if I don't want too, but thinking flexibly is all about having an open mind. We need that in the real world beacuse it's not all about us.
My last HOB, was striving for accuracy. I have always been like that from as long as I can remember. I like my things to be thought out and I want that to show through my work. I don't for any of my work to be half done. For example at my job, I am a cashier. At the end of my shift our tills and our registers have to be cleaned down. Alot of my co-workers don't do it. I don't feel comfortable leaving if it's not done. This kind of falls under the persisting HOB also.
I think those three HOB, fit me perfectly. I can even start to compare them to one another. I'm glad I picked up these habits early, because they really helped me mature alot faster. These habits help me with the future and and all the decisions I will make in it.

dreams and wishes
My dreams and wishes for this year honestly is to graduate high school and get accepted into a college. My mother or my father did not graduate from college and I want to be the first to achieve that. One thing that nobody never knew about me was that. My family members and friends are cheering me on to do it. That's alot of pressure on me because I don't want to let them down. I feel as though that I can do it, but what if everything doesn't work how it's supposed to? That's why I have to work my hardest this year to make sure my dreams and wishes do come true, and to show that everybody I can do it.
The 3 that I do
Finding Humor, Questioning & Posing Problems, and Habits of Mind as Learning Outcomes. The way I find humor to pick something out a reading and make it funny that way ther is no barriors in the way. The way I ask questions is to interpret an article and read, Then after when reading I would ask a friend, family, or even a neighbor a question creating a problem. Making both me and whomever I with think. The way I use Learning Outcomes is when I am taught something and I can use that in my everyday life.
When finding humor I go outside first with my friends and have one of them tell me a joke. Once I get my laugh out the way then it is on to the next one. When laughing you have an instinct and it may reinforce the social status. Humor is a human form of mutal playfulness. Without a laugh then you will be unable to do what needs to be done. You are increasing your brain power simply by laughing and having fun before working on a problem.
Questing and Posing Problems. The way this works is to find something challenging knowing that fact that you will not get everything on the first try. I use it everyday in english just because I do not get nothing when reading that "green book". So I ask classmates a question making them think hard and with my two cents we can answer anything about a passage that we might have read. Since I have problems most of time reading have questions down and keep thinking until you get an solution. But whatever you do, do not give up so easily.
Habits of mind as Learning Outcomes, I believe this works depending on how many answers a person might know. Also how a student is behaving. For example daydreaming, when anybody is daydreaming you are not thinking about answers, or questions, your thinking about air. Having the ability to edit, thinking flexible, expanding your mind, using imagination help you forever more. When writing I try to use my imagination because it comes from your own brain, plus it can get you real far.
My conclusion is that when using humor you make others around you more comfortable. The stress goes down cause the laugh makes you happy. Do not let a hard question make you say "I quit". When saying that then they win. They put critical questions down to test everyone's intelligence. About the editing, rewriting, etc that makes you a better writer for college. Now that is very helpful.

three habits i need to pick up
Finding humor is not something I do much or at all. I find nothing a joke not
even a joke. Even when my friends try to make me look on the bright side of things. For example
me running for president people need to try to look at as a joke and I still don't look at it as a job.
Sometimes I know things is funny but I never look at it that way. Therefore that habit is something I have to get with
The right stuff is the habit That one day I hope I find. For example I never try to do my
mistakes the way I did . Although I know the right stuff I seem to always want to try to
do the same things things and not want to change in any kind of ways. For some reason I
never try to go towards my problems I ran from them. However I gone to try and change my
way in to doing the right thing. Therefore I am gone to also pick that up as a habit
three habits i need to pick up
Taking responsible risk is a habit I always been scared to take . Every since I was younger
and had failed in fitting in I just became scared to take risk. Also scared of what people may
think and what people may say about. Even thought I should not care about what they say or
better yet do towards me. However it is up to me on what is I should risk taking knowing that
sometimes somethings are worth being responsible to take a risk for. Therefore I hope I do pick that habit up.
Remaining open to continuous learning is a habit that I really need try getting. For example
I am just a lazy person and don't think about how important my education is to my goals in life. Sometimes I just make myself act the way I do by doing stupid things like not picking a book up. Also, not just playing around and keep putting things to the side for other plans. Although I ask a lot of questions I need to look at examples in my head. So I told my self before college I was gone to pick that habit up
Striving for Accuracy is not none of my habits because I do not put time in to my work to even
take pride in it. I never think my work is good enough for any body not even myself. Knowing that I have to sit down and think about what it is I am doing. Also pulling out the good things and bad things about my work than pull the bad things out. So I told my self that I wass gone credit myself for more than I usually do.
