I believe class was canceled due to Professor Sabatino Mangini Being ill. At home has been really hectic. Looking for a job hasn't been easy and slacking on school work. I made an emergency visit to the vet for my kitten. My dog had attacked her when we were away. Was in the vet for what seemed like 4 hours. But turns out she was ok. But suffered from some head trauma. After receiving the bill, I can honestly say visiting the vet can make you go broke within seconds.

Class This past week in class I presented my AMA project in front of the whole class. It took me by surprise because I missed the week before that and was not expecting that. I felt that I did an ok job. I don't enjoy presenting in front of people, but I felt pretty comfortable with the class. Arthur provided me with notes while I was presenting which has helped a lot. We also went over the our midterm and our elevator pitch. HomeThis past week has been really hard for me at home. My dog who I consider my baby was very ill. At the time we didn't know what the problem was and figured she just a little sick. We are also going through a tough time, where we can't afford to take her to the vet. Unfortunately it was more sever than we thought. She had actually came across some mouse poison that was in the basement. We don't usually go in the basement so when I finally did, I saw the container empty. As I was coming home to take her to the vet because I knew it was more sever than I thought. I came home to her lying on the floor in blood. I immediately broke down and lost it. My heart felt like it shattered to pieces and I am still trying to cope. We ended up digging up a grave for her. And I just miss her so much. R.I.P Ginger.
Class Sadly I missed last weeks class, but thankfully Courtney did send me some notes. Home This past weekend I went out of town with my family. It was last minute and I did have to miss class. I went to the Pocono's to go camping in a cabin. We sat around the campfire and went to the amusement park that was actually on the campgrounds. We decorated put cabin for Halloween and went on some crazy rides. I think I gained a couple pounds from eating all weekend but I had a great time.
School: So this past week in class we discussed about our Assignment and when it's due. I also kind of participated in class. We also discussed the topics we can work of for our assignment. Home: Soooo this past week has been eventful. My family and I went to the outlets and I got a pair of new boots and some fall gear. I also got a kitten. We found her in the alleyway behind my ants house under a car. It was a bit difficult but it was worth it. She's still a baby, but I rather have her safe and warm in my house rather hiding under someone's car and potentially getting killed. I named her Daliah, just because it's a beautiful name and she's a beautiful kitty.
As a freshmen coming into college I can definitely relate to some of these students in this experiment Gregory M. Walton describes. For me I have this feeling all the time jumping into new things. Coming to class I was so nervous and still am. Looking at others people work and comparing it to mine, I feel as though I’m not good enough or everyone is better than I am. I also didn’t want people reading my work cause o thought it I sounded dumb people would judge me and look at me like I’m uneducated. But I see it like high school going in was never wrecking, you wanted to fit in and look good, you cared what people thought about you. But eventually you come across some people who you’re comfortable with and life gets easier from there.
I feel as though a lot of people have this problem being put in a new surrounding because sometimes you don’t know what to expect. You just have all these thoughts racing about what you hear from what people tell you the situation is going to be. For example I thought that my professor was going to be extremely mean and not caring. I had people tell me that all you do when you go to college is sit there, listen to the professor, take notes and leave. For me I can’t learn that way. I’m a hands on learner and I felt as though if that’s how it’s going to be I just might fail because I won’t get the education I need. And asking for help would scare me because then I don’t want to look stupid. I feel as though we make ourselves nervous, it’s all in our heads. But when we get put into the situation we all adapt and eventually overcome all of our fears. Meet new people and learn a lot more things. I think people should open their minds more coming into situations like this, rather than having fixed mindset on what you hear. Be mindful of your surroundings, learn from your own experience instead of dwelling on what someone told you how it’s going to be like or how you saw it on television. This is how I look at this topic and how I can relate and how I think we should grow and learn from it. For me, I’m still adjusting to my classes and talking to new people. But writing class is my favorite, at the moment. I’m stepping out of my comfort zone and communicating with the class and participating. I’m also not afraid to ask for help if I need it. So I’m happy that I’m growing and I’m ready for whatever is next to come. Let me know your thoughts and if I gave any you confusion. School So the past week in class we discussed growth mindset and fixed mindset. We actually did an activity where Professor Sabatino was silent for the first hour and we had to kind of figure out what to do and what he was trying to explain. During this first hour the class was able to kind of bond more and work together. We worked together and was able to cover everything he was trying to explain. We also went up to the board to show the difference between growth mindset and fixed mindset. I also think this was a very helpful exercise for the people who don't really understand to get a better understanding about the topic. I feel as though after this exercise I feel more comfortable with the class. We also went over some of the videos we were supposed to watch and the notes. Home So you are curios to what I did this weekend... Sadly I didn't do much because the pope was in town to leaving was a pain in the butt. I was planning on going to Jason's Woods, but the roads was closed. But this weekend I should be going to Fright Factory in Philadelphia, so anybody who is interested hopefully I see you there Friday lol. I also got my nails done. We had a bon fire at my aunts and just relaxed. Nothing to crazy going on in my life. Just some crazy dreams. Oh and job hunting. So hopefully next week I'll do something interesting for you guys (:.
This I believe. I believe that unstable parents shouldn’t have children. I believe that parents who can barely support themselves shouldn’t bring another life into this world if they can’t provide for them. I believe this because I have seen so many adults have children who can’t even take care of themselves. Yes it is there life and how they choose to live it, but I don’t think any child should be put into an unstable home. I believe that to have a child you should at least have a stable job and a stable home. Parents should be able to provide their children with new clothing and that child should be able to feel safe at home. I hate to see so many young people get pregnant and just get rid of their child because they are not “ready” to play the role as a parent, yet you have loving people who do anything to have a child but can’t have kids. This upsets me because no child should ever feel unwanted or even neglected. I believe that every child deserves to live a life of happiness with a loving family. I know not everyone grew up like this but seeing now and days how so many kids are put into shelters and some never finding a home makes me sad. Some people just don’t know how lucky they are and is too selfish to even realize the struggle some kids have to go through to survive. This is why I believe that unstable parents should not have children.
For a better understanding on what I'm trying to explain is that some parents have children and rely on their parents to take care of the child while they go off and do other things that they want. My mother had me when she was fairly young and she didn't plan to have me, but it happened. But as a young mother she stepped up to take care of my brother and I. She got a job, and eventually dropped out of school to take care of us. She still works hard to take care of us and she doesn't rely on anyone else to take care of us. For example you know the show 16 and pregnant, some of those kids were barely home to take care of the child. Yes we all need some help at time, but to use an excuse that "you're still young" and going out partying isn't an exception in my. I feel as though once you have a child, it's time to grow up, cause now you're a role model and you don't want to set a bad example for that child. I do know a lot of parents who got pregnant when they were young and are great parents. I'm not saying all young parents are bad and yea not all pregnancy's are planned, But the ones who can't care and step up to be a parent should not reproduce at all. Hopefully this helps understand me more clearer. If not, I'm happy to answer any questions. There are two minds of people in the world. People who have a growth mindset and people with a fixed mindset. People with a growth mindset believe that intelligence can be developed. People with a fixed mindset believe that intelligence is a fixed trait. For example people with a fixed mindset believe that you are born with a certain amount of intelligence and you can’t change that. In the video, Growth mindset vs. fixed mindset, she explained how students with a growth mindset achieve more and usually get higher scores/grades rather than students with a fixed mindset. Here’s a quote she shares, “You can learn new things but you can’t really change your basic intelligence.” Studies show that students who disagreed with this had a growth mindset and students who disagreed had a fixed mindset.
I believe that I have a growth mindset when I’m in a non-academic environment. I believe this because when I’m out doing something crazy like zip lining, I always push myself to go harder and further. Also jumping into new activities, I do get nervous but I’m always anxious to doing new things outside of my comfort zone. Growing up in a home where my mom always wanted to do new things like, camping, hiking and zip lining, I grew to adapt doing new things and pushing myself outside my comfort zone and learning new things. For example when I was very little my uncle put me on a dirt bike and I learned how to ride a stick shift. As a student I believe I have a fixed mindset. Sometimes when I don’t understand something I don’t bother asking for help, because I don’t want to look stupid or uneducated. This is how I have always been as a student and I don’t always want to hide in my shell. I feel as though if something is too tough for me, I give up right there and think that I’m too stupid to understand and I know now that’s definitely not how it works. From watching the videos I learned that your mindset can change and I definitely don’t want to have a fixed mindset all my life and do plan on working harder and participating and putting myself out there when I’m in class. I want to be more outgoing when in class, instead of being shy and staying in my corner. ClassIn class we discussed about growth mindset and fixed mindset. We discussed the difference between the two. We also talked about becoming better problem solvers and how we procrastinate. In class he also showed us a little exercise with the book bags and how it would be easier to take things one step at a time. Home My life at home has been boring these past weeks. I did attempt to go see the visit with some friends but that didn't go as planned. We ended up walking to the theater for them to tell us they are closed. The next day I took my little sister to her lacrosse try outs. I also tried to do a video log for author while walking my dog lol, but it didn't work for me. So that was my week.
ClassDuring the past two weeks in class, I learned about different writers, why they write and how they write. What inspires them and how they prepare themselves before writing. We also went over how to make this website and I personally think it was complicating. I also 5hink these blog assignments are pretty creative and hopefully I can learn and grow from this experience. HomeDuring this past week, I met some new people in my other classes. My cousin went missing... But we found her lol. She's 16 and decided to disappear for the night. But she's ok and well, ha-ha. Besides that my week has been very mellow and calm.
