Journal 4/22/08

I pretty much did the same things that I do every Wednsday. Which is make sure that the kids are being nice to each other, make sure that they use the bathroom ok, are fed, and get their nap. I also cut some leaves out for a art project that the kids were going to for the next day.

Week 11

Task 2
I don't have a cell phone so what does it matter. If I did then I would already know what I can do and can't do.

Journal 3/25/08

Last week I helped take care of the kids and made sure that they all didn't get hurt. I helped the kids with their little golfball painted eggs. Thats where you take a golfball, a box lid, a peice of paper cut into the shape of an egg, some paint, and a spoon and you just take the spoon full of paint and put it on the egg cut out and the golfball and roll it all over the box lid until the egg cut out is covered in paint. Then I helped get the kids lunch ready and get their cots ready for their nap time. That was pretty much it.

Week 9

Task 2
1. Do you normally react positively or negatively to the situations in your life?
It depends on what kind of situation it is and where it is being handled at. If its at home I might have a negative attitude because my husband might be working my nerves and I'm ready to scream, but sometimes I might have a positive attitude when I get good news. Its the same way here at school I might have a negative attitude if someone or some people are being rude by talking while the teacher is speaking or when someone is presenting their project, but sometimes I might have a positive attitude when its time to go home.
2. Is that an area you could show some improvement in over the next weeks?
Yeah because I can always make sure to keep my cool when it comes to ignorant people being disrespectful towards the teacher, another classmate, or my husband. I can also just ignore the people being rude and I can also ignore my husband when it comes to him being a hard head.
3. Write a paragraph expressing how the attitudes of others in your life have influenced you.
When my husband is mad at someting or someone his attitude, usually starts to get me all mad and I start bite off other people's head for no reason and I usually end up having to say I'm sorry to them, that its not their fault that I'm just having a bad day .

Week 8

Task 1
In the nersary we have eletric socket covers to prevent the toddlers and babies from getting eletorcuted, a little fence area for the babies so that they don't get hurt by the toddlers, there are child proof locks on the cabinet doors and on the drawers, and we also make sure all the toys are starailized and picked up so that no one gets hurt.

Journal 3/4/08

Last week I helped out with the kids all the way up nap time, then there wasn't anything else that I could do because all the kids were asleep. So I went out into the media center and sat at one of the tables and started making shamrocks for this Wednsday. Then Dr. Maudsley had came by and got some pictures of me with Dontavious and a picture with both Dontavious and my son Nolan but that one didn't turn out to well.

Week 6

Task 3
II. What would you do if you became overwhelmed with obligations?
I would come with a scedule of what time I do things. Get my husband up so he can help with the baby while I get ready for school. Try to have breakfast fixed before 8:00 - 8:30 because my husband likes to watch t.v. while he eats. Try to leave the house by 9:30.

Journal 2/19/08

Last week for my service learning I had helped out with the kids in the nursery here at school until most of them went home because of pink eye or their moms were part of the GED class. I helped put bags together for Valentines Day and I had a lot of doing that. I also helped putting other things for the Valentine's party. So pretty much that was all I could do because there wasn't much I could do to help out with any kids because they went home.

Week 5

Part 1
Commit yourself to finding a career that's appropriate to your interests, personality, and values. The first step in career planning is self-assessment, which helps you examine who you are and what you know about yourself.According to John Holland's theory, most people in our culture are one of six personality types: realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, and conventional. People of the same personality tend to flock together. For example, artistic people easily make friends with and work well with other artistic people. When people of the same personality type work together, they create an environment that fits their type. For example, when artistic persons are together on a job, they create a work environment that rewards creative thinking and behavior — an artistic environment. A. Click Career Key for a survey to determine your interests and to match them to the six personality types called Holland Codes. Begin by logging on to the gacollege411 website. If you do not have an account, you will need to create one before taking the survey. At the bottom of the Career Key page, select “Begin the Career Key”. Keep this website open so you can return to it later. B. Record your scores at the top of page 3 of the Holland's Six Personality Traits. Keep this document open so that you can continue adding to it.
Part 2
People who choose to work in an environment similar to their personality type are more likely to be successful and satisfied with their jobs: For example, artistic persons are more likely to be successful and satisfied if they choose a job that has an artistic environment, such as choosing to be a dance teacher in a dancing school, an environment dominated by artistic people where creative abilities and expression are highly valued. This combination creates a productive and satisfying environment. A. Now that you have completed the survey, read pages 1 and 2 of the Holland's Six Personality Traits to learn more about your personality type. B. The Student-Career Matching Assistant will use your Holland Codes to link careers to your interests and personality. On the gacollege 411 website, start the "Student-Career Matching Assistant". You will see your Holland codes and interests already populated. Select and "Industry Focus" and view the matching careers. Review the careers generated and see if they are truly of interest to you. Record your "Industry Focus" and top three career choices on page 3 of the Holland's Six Personality Traits. Repeat this process two more times. In the end you will have 9 possible career choices listed.
Part 3
Now that you have assessed yourself, it is time to explore your career options. A wide variety of information about industries and occupations is available. Exploring several industries and occupations will help you to discover the options that most interest you. A. Return to the gacollege411 website. From your list of nine possible careers, choose your top three. On the Career Key page, choose the "List of Careers" tab on the left. Select one of the careers you are interested in. You are now going to investigate the occupation descriptions, worker characteristics, entry-level education and training requirements, work environment, physical demands, and related occupations. B. Complete page 4 of the Holland's Six Personality Traits with your first career choice. C. Complete page 5 of the Holland's Six Personality Traits with your second career choice. D. Complete page 6 of the Holland's Six Personlity Traits with your third career choice.
E. Save your completed document into your My Documents by selecting "Save As". Name this "Week 5 - Career Explortaion". F. Notify your advisor when you have completed every part of this assignment.
Part 4
I. Write a two paragraph blog post that discusses your experiences thus far at your service learning placement. Be sure to write using complete sentences, proper capitalization, and proper grammar. You may want to include some of the following in your journal:
-Does your personality type you discovered today in the survey agree with the type of work you are doing in your internship/service learning?
-Knowing your personality, do you think you will have any challenges in the career you want to pursue?
-Discuss any positive experiences you've had in the last week.
-Discuss any negative experiences you've had in the last week.
-What do you look forward to in the coming weeks?
-A picture or visual that relates to your service learning.
II. Give your post an appropriate title.
III. Be sure to proof read your work before publishing your post.
IV. Notify your adviser when you have published your service learning weekly journal blog post.

How Do You Learn? Profile Description

The Visual Learner
Visual learners draw mental pictures when trying to remember things. They learn best by looking at pictures, graphs, charts, and designs. Visual learners usually absorb information best from books and class notes and by translating ideas into visual formats. Color-coding works well for visual learners. So does writing information on flashcards and highlighting key concepts.

The Auditory Learner
Auditory learners learn best when they hear spoken words. They focus best by listening and by verbalizing concepts out loud. Auditory learners probably learn a lot from lectures and class discussions. Taping lectures and discussions works well. So does reading study notes out loud and stating math problem and concepts verbally.

The Tactile/Kinesthetic Learner
Tactile and kinesthetic learners benefit most from "hands-on" activities. They usually clarify ideas by writing them down and understand formulas by manipulating them. Tactile/ kinesthetic learners learn best in laboratory settings and by doing fieldwork and class demonstrations. Making models to illustrate concepts works well. So does typing information on the computer, reorganizing material in different ways, and taping class lectures and listening to them during exercise.

Making Your Learning Style Work for You
Once you have figured out the way you learn, you will need to use specific strategies to help you with your way of learning. For example, if you are a visual learner, you could visual materials such as pictures or charts to help you learn and retain information.
Below are some practical suggestions for the various types of learners:
Visual Learners:
Use visual materials such as pictures, charts, maps, graphs, etc.
Have a clear view of your teachers when you are speaking so you can see their body language and facial expression.
Use color to highlight important points in text.
Take notes or ask your teacher to provide handouts.
Illustrate your ideas as a picture or brainstorming bubbles before writing them down.
Write a story and illustrate it.
Use multi-media (e.g.. computers, videos, etc.).
Study in a quiet place away from auditory disturbances.
Read illustrated books.
Visualize information as a picture to aid memorization.
Auditory Learners:
Participate in class discussions/debates.
Make speeches and presentations.
Use a tape recorder during lectures instead of taking notes.
Read text out aloud.
Create musical jingles or raps to aid memorization.
Create mnemonics to aid memorization.
Discuss your ideas verbally.
Dictate to someone while they write down your thoughts.
Use verbal analogies and storytelling to demonstrate your point.
Tactile/Kinesthetic Learners:
Take frequent study breaks.
Move around to learn new things (e.g., read while on an exercise bike, mold a piece of clay to learn a new concept).
Work at a standing position.
Chew while studying.
Use bright colors to highlight reading material.
Dress up your work space with posters.
If you wish, listen to music while you study.
Skim though reading material to get a rough idea of what it’s about before settling down to read it in detail.

Learning Styles Work Plan
Use the space below to create your personalized work plan for the subjects listed. Include at least two strategies for each subject that could be used for the different learning style types. Use your handouts and www.studygs.net as resources when researching strategies.

Part 2
Taking Notes in Class
In classes, your teachers will talk about topics that you are studying. The information they provide will be important for you to know when you take tests. You must be able to take good written notes from what your teachers say.
Taking good notes is a three-stage process in which there are certain things you should do before class, during class, and after class. Here are the three stages of notetaking and what you should do during each stage.
1. Get Ready to Take Notes (Before Class)
Review your notes from the previous class session before you come to class. This will help you remember what was covered and get you ready to understand new information your teacher provides.
Complete all assigned readings before you come to class. Your teacher will expect that you have done this and will use and build upon this information.
Bring all notetaking materials with you to class. Have several pens and pencils as well as your notebook.

2. Take Notes (During Class)
Keep your attention focused on what your teacher is saying. Listen for “signal statements” that tell you that what your teacher is about to say is important to write in your notes. Examples of signal statements are “The most important point…” and “Remember that . . . “ Be sure to include in your notes information that your teacher repeats or writes on the chalkboard.
Write quickly so that you can include all the important information in your notes. Do this by writing abbreviated words such as med for medicine, using symbols such as % for percent, and writing short sentences.
Place a ? next to information you write in your notes, but about whose meaning you are not sure.
3. Rewrite Your Notes (After Class)
Rewrite your notes to make them more complete by changing abbreviated words into whole words, symbols into words, and shortened sentences into longer sentences.
Make your notes more accurate by answering any questions you had when writing your notes in class. Use your textbook and reference sources to obtain the information you need to answer your questions. If necessary, ask your teacher or other students for help.
Check with other students to be sure you did not leave out important information.
Having good class notes will help you to be better prepared for tests.
Procrastination
What is Procrastination?
Procrastination is putting off or avoiding doing something that must be done. It is natural to procrastinate occasionally. However, excessive procrastination can result in guilt feelings about not doing a task when it should be done. It can also cause anxiety since the task still needs to be done. Further, excessive procrastination can cause poor performance if the task is completed without sufficient time to do it well. In short, excessive procrastination can interfere with school and personal success.
Why Do Students Procrastinate?
There are many reasons why students procrastinate. Here are the most common reasons:
Perfectionism. A student’s standard of performance may be so high for a task that it does not seem possible to meet that standard.
Fear of Failure. A student may lack confidence and fear that he/she will be unable to accomplish a task successfully.
Confusion. A student may be unsure about how to start a task or how it should be completed.
Task Difficulty. A student may lack the skills and abilities needed to accomplish a task.
Poor Motivation. A student may have little or no interest in completing a task because he/she finds the task boring or lacking in relevance.
Difficulty Concentrating. A student may have too many things around that distract him/her from doing a task.
Task Unpleasantness. A student may dislike doing what a task requires.
Lack of Priorities. A student may have little or no sense about which tasks are most important to do.
How Do I Know if I Procrastinate Excessively?
You procrastinate excessively if you agree with five or more of the following statements:
I often put off starting a task I find difficult
I often give up on a task as soon as I start to find it difficult.
I often wonder why I should be doing a task.
I often have difficulty getting started on a task.
I often try to do so many tasks at once that I cannot do any of them.
I often put off a task in which I have little or no interest.
I often try to come up with reasons to do something other than a task I have to do.
I often ignore a task when I am not certain about how to start it or complete it.
I often start a task but stop before completing it.
I often find myself thinking that if I ignore a task, it will go away.
I often cannot decide which of a number of tasks I should complete first.
I often find my mind wandering to things other that the task on which I am trying to work.
What Can I Do About Excessive Procrastination?
Here are some things you can do to control excessive procrastination.
Motivate yourself to work on a task with thoughts such as “There is no time like the present,” or “Nobody’s perfect.”
Prioritize the tasks you have to do.
Commit yourself to completing a task once started.
Reward yourself whenever you complete a task.
Work on tasks at the times you work best.
Break large tasks into small manageable parts.
Work on tasks as part of a study group.
Get help from teachers and other students when you find a task difficult.
Make a schedule of the tasks you have to do and stick to it.
Eliminate distractions that interfere with working on tasks.
Set reasonable standards that you can meet for a task.
Take breaks when working on a task so that you do not wear down.
Work on difficult and/or unpleasant tasks first.
Work on a task you find easier after you complete a difficult task.
Find a good place to work on tasks.
Above all, think positively and get going. Once you are into a task, you will probably find that it is more interesting than you thought it would be and not as difficult as you feared. You will feel increasingly relieved as you work toward its accomplishment and will come to look forward to the feeling of satisfaction you will experience when you have completed the task.
