Final hooray

This will be make it or break it time! In my final presentation I will be speaking about the pros and cons of commuting. There is a lot if things to touch on this subject. One of many is having a job against staying on campus and not getting your own money. Yes it can be hard to commute at times but for some people it is very beneficial. As for me I use to live in the dorm and that was not for me so I moved back home and started to commute. I rather commute any day then stay in those dorms. I guess forming wasn't for me which for some people it is not. People say that commuting is the worst thing ever but it is really not ! I know plenty of people that commute and not only do you have a car, most people have a job, but you are also saving a lot of money to go to school. There is such a huge difference in the tuition from people that live on campus versus the people that commute. So I will be touching on those three main points in my video come back and see the final project I promise you it will be worth it!

Bilingual speakers

Personally, learning more then just your basic language (English) is great. Schools should definitely keep this in mind. It's Important knowing more then just one language. The most common language is Spanish. I've noticed how mostly every work place has a bilingual person working for there company. That reason is because theres a high rate of Hispanics in America today. In the work force knowing another language defiantly gives you a edge over other candidates. How Spanish is not the only language that can be beneficial to you in a work place or in the running for a job, you also have French, Japanese , and Portuguese which are all big also. Due to all these I agree that yes universities and highs schools should have language courses. There are not that many cons against knowing another language on the contrary it has many pros. Many people don't really look into that they just say " oh this is hard and a waste of time" but no knowing another language will get you alot closer to where you want to be at the end of the day.

Open Mic Night?!

One thing that has had my interest for a very long time is poetry. I just love poetry I love to read it, write it, and I love to hear it. I love how words can just make such an impression on people, it can move them and it can also lead them in the right direction. Many people don’t see how much words really influence other people.  I love to hear people that have been through things say their poems and the ones that actually get really into it I think they are the best. I will love to be able to grow some and be able to stand in front of people and read my poetry. Maybe one day I will but that is definitely one of my goals to do one day in my life. I remember the first day of orientation here at Southern Connecticut State University there was one girl that read a poem I think that was the only thing I really remember from that day. It really moved me the way she said it and the way she manipulated the words so you can feel each and every one of them. I think they should really have more poetry classes. Or even like a open mic night here for people that want to express themselves with poetry or other things such as painting. I know I would love that I think many other students would appreciate something of those sorts here. Maybe it can happen once a month or maybe even once a week. This would be something else that the students at Southern Connecticut State University can enjoy together as community. Well that is one of my interest that I think links to our community at SCSU. Now you tell me what do you think about this idea of having open mic night!

MID-TERM GRADES! :/

            When I saw my mid-term grades I didn’t think I was doing as bad as I am. I knew that in some classes I was slacking but didn’t think it was that bad. I cant say some only two classes I thought I was doing better in them but I am not doing as well as I would like. I have always been a “A”-“B” student and seeing the grades I have so far in my first year in college is really a eye opener. I can not approach things such as school work the same way I did in high school. Even though I might not like certain subject or classes I must put the same effort I do into it as if it was my favorite. I believe that that is going to be the only way I start to bring those grades up. If not I just wont care about them and leave everything to the last minute then do poorly on the assignment even though sometimes under pressure I come out with better work. For the rest of the semester I want to concentrate a lot on school consider softball is not as time consuming as it was. Yes I might be tired some days but I am just going to have to learn how to do my work ahead of time and night wait till the night before. I noticed that all the time I waited to do an assignment if it was not a big project or something really important for the class I tended to just not do it and go to bed. Now I am going to try and do things a couple of days before they are due so I do not have to stress out the night before hand. 

Coming out of my comfy zone!

            Last year I had to make a speech in front of over 300 people. For me public speaking is nota strong point. I get really nervous and my voice changes it is just a huge mess pretty much. However I had to make this speech not only I had to but I actually wanted to. It was in front of young children that some I coached and seen most of them grow up. The reason why I really wanted to make this speech was because my uncle passed away that same year and him and I had coached in that league for three straight years. He was a huge part in this league, he coach baseball, and basketball and was part of the board for this particular league. So I had to talk about myself and my part in the league, which I played baseball for two years with them and then played basketball for three. But I always had to talk about my uncle and present a PowerPoint that was dedicated to him. This was probably the hardest thing I had to do because not only was I nervous because of the speech I had to make but because this was still a very sensitive subject for me to talk about. I actually started to choke up mid-way of what I was saying about him but I kept my composure and followed through and finished. So yes I think that was a time that I had to go out of my comfort zone a lot and complete a task. Even with my fear of speaking publicly and the topic at hand I presented a very good speech it was not only informing but it was touching well that is the feedback I received afterward.
