Community Service

I think that I could address and help my community by trying to help the lilttle kids out. In what I mean by that is that there are to many kids in high school with no one to give them the right directions to make something out of there sel. So everytime that I go home I try to help out some one the kids by telling them that there are nothing but trouble out there in the streets and that the streets does not make u a men because you can stand on a courner and make some money, that does not make you more of man then anyone eles. There are some people that dont have anything so I try to help them out by giving them some money when I go home.

Learning Profile

One of the commen them that I read in this text is that you make changes every day in your life. There are some changes that you don't want to make but they are for the best. The one change that I had to make was, having a roomate because before I came here I lived on my own for about 2 years. That useing the internet for homework was a good thing. That there are alot of reasourses in the book and on the internet. The internet is the best thing for u to use. My strenths as a learner are that I should study and get my work down on time and not to wait tell the last day to do it. That is one reason that there are students not making it in college is because they don't have the study habits that some people have. I think that is one reason that they come to a JR college is because they need to learn study habits. Maths is my easiest class right now because I'am pretty good with math. But there are the time that i Dont do that good. I think that a kid coming in to this class needs to learn to study. Don't wait tell the last day of class to get it in. Some weakness as a learner are that some poeple have to see it and work it out on paper before they learn how to do it. Another reason is that they dont understand the material. That is one of the main reason, some people when they dont understand they just give up on it. I wish that I could be more strick and more deciplend with my work. Sometime I just put things off to the last second then try to get it done and it does not work like that and I had to find out the hard way. I learned that there is alot of sources out there for people to use. Not to drink to much, that movie that we watch was very said about that gurl. She was just a student who like to party and she thought that it was cool to drink because are friends we doing it. Now I go to study hall people the people there are there to help me with my school work and maybe I will pass. Right now it is working because I'am staying a head in class with everthing that we do. Like I said the one about that gurl did, because I have seen a girl have aclohol poison. She thought that just because see was at a party she had to drink just to fit in and all of long all she had to do was really be herself. The courses work really well. I like this class because it did not push you to work to much. To me it was like it had u work at your own past as long as u got your work done on time and witch I did. The students in the future need to just liston to what you tell them because it really could help them out. That you will show them how the materials to succed in this class and not just that and in school as well. The three thing that I think that I should do to gradueate is go to class study and do all my work and turn it in on time. I think that I really need to pay attention in class. Now I think that I will be more responsible for the thing that I do. That I will take school more serice. At one point in time school was nothing I just did it because I had to, so that I could play football.

Major topic 1 Copying with Change

My first change was when I was 17. I forced to live on my own. My mother past away on March 21, 2005. After that happend, life hit me. I had to get out and get a job. I was forced to get a house of my own. I stayed in low incoming houses. Thay were not very good appartments. The biggest change was that I had to make myself get up every moming and go to school. I was hard because I was used to my mother waking me up every morning. School was alot harder. I couldn't stay on strate with school. It was hard going to work and then waking up in the morning and going to school. I think that it made my a man because I was spoiled by my mom. She did everything for me. She washed my cloths everthing. Then when I lived on my own I had to do it. I didn't know how to wash cloths. I still don't. Then me moving to butler to go to school was apart of me growing up. I was used to know rules and now I got to by bye the school rules. Then on the other hand I have a roommate. I am used to living on my own. I hate having a roommate.

This I Believe

My believes about life changed when my mother did. It made me reilize that we are not granteed tomorrow. Who is to say if live tomorrow or not. I think that made me look at my life and living differently. I had to change the way that I look at the would. For a will i hated te would. Didn't care about anything in it but myself. No know that I'am not gareented that might not wake up. I have to go out there and think that there are people in this would that is always going to tell me what to do. That is a form of life. It took alot for me to realize that, that is what my mother was talking bout. Because of how i treated everybody, I had to live on my own. I lived on my own sence i was 17. I hated living by myself but i had to remember that you can not be a baby for ever. That right there tells alot about someone. That you can not be a baby forever. You can't. Some day you have to move out and start your own life, but at the time i was not ready to be come a man. I still relied on my brother's and aunt to do it for me. There were the one's that but me out. SO i got me a place. It was nothing, It was alittle apartment in the hood of Parsons. At first i thought that it would be fun to live on my own intell I had to Pay my own bills. I had know job, The only money that i had coming in was the money from my mothers SSI. That was not anuff to live on a month. I would go days with out eatting, because I did not have any money to pay for food. So I went and got me a job and started getting those thing that I needed. But at the same time I had to go to school and make the grades so that I could graduate.

Butler Resources

I think that I'am going to go with Case Study #1. An Unplanned Pregnancy. Right know i think that she is pregnat and I'am going to tell her think that she should do. But I'am going to look them up. From " Amoung Girls Friends to Amoung Mothers". They say that a girl should tell her mom if she wont to talk to anyone. The mom is the most important one to tell. The girl feels more confertable with telling there mother because the mother with love her daughter know matter what the problem is. (Academic Search Elite). Paternal experience of pregnancy and Labour. They say that the girl would have morning sickness, Which mean's she would be throwing up. Then that she would be spoting. Then that she should go to the hospital and get test so that she would know for real.(Academic Search Elite).

Academic Plan

My academic plan is to grauduate in two years. My degree is social work for right now. There are alot of class to take for that. Some of them are sociology. That class is kind of difficalt. You have to know about people. You have to be good will people. Make sure that your get along with people and that they can talk to you. That is one of the most important things. The family and marriage class is another one that you take. It talks about, what makes a good family and what are the basic rules for having a good marriege. I'am looking forward of taking the marriege class because I know one day I'am going to get married and that we are going to have something go wrong and I wont to know how to deal with them. That is life every body is goin gto get married have kids of there own and have problem and I want to beable to help them with them. I think that I would get the threll of helpping someone with there problems. At the sometime i would learn something from them, that could help my marriage. I think that I will get my academic support from my family. My brother's wont to see me make threw college. I think that is because I'am the youngiest of the two. They wont to see me be some one and that is making a statement in life and not someone who is living of someone. They are always telling me that you can not be a baby your hole life.

Time Management

My most important thing my life is my family. I have two older brothers, and a little sister. There names are Josh, Calvin, and Melissa. As a little kid my brother Calvin raised me and my brother. My little sister went to a girls prision when she was a little girl. My mother past away about a year and half ago. My school is important. With out my school I can not play football and it wont pay for my dorms. It is also important so that when I get done with school I can get a good job that will pay good. That I don't have to work in a factory. I really dont have a job. I look at going to school maintaing good grades, are some of the work thing that I do. I work hard on making the grades. I think that I will make a it. I think butler is helpping me, get my basic out of the way. But Iam running out of thing to say, because I don't have good time managing skills.
