Excuse Me Miss

one feels overwhelmed. College separates you to being on your own. Limited personal time, stress, and being separated has made me change my priorities in many ways. It has made me realize the value of personal time, relationships, and independence. College consisting of having to balance school, work, relationships, and such, it gives little time to myself. College keeps me occupied from when I get up till when I can’t stay awake anymore. Getting personal time in college especially is like…

both the organization of my writing as well as how I comprehend and receive ideas. The way I will will increase my writings clarity, is by thinking about the subject first and then go on to making an outline.

With this method of practice I will be able to look back on my main ideas and check whether I have reached the correct objective of every subject from every line, from every paragraph. Future…

money combined did not make me as happy as that 20 dollar and that guy did. (ok, I had 540 bucks not including that 20. I had to say it. Not to brag but for you to have an understanding what that gesture meant to me. Haha. Plus it will motivate you to read that book). I feel like that I am done getting better at my job and maybe I should quit. I barely learn anything new and I don’t like that business anyway. I looked up the restaurant you work at. Nice reviews! Tell me how you like your job.…

be an inventor long before I found Engineering. I wanted to be someone who made the coolest of things and made so many people happy. I dreamed big as a kid, always getting lost in my little world of imagination. Growing up has changed some things for me. I still aspire to be an Inventor of sorts, but I want to do it better through becoming a world class Engineer. A world Class engineer would be able to effectively make goals and stick to them to strengthen their effect; the Engineer is also able…

how things can change so fast in just a short amount of time. The things I went through at that time were almost unbearable; but I can deeply thank Alex, my counselor, for all the motivation and strength truly in me. Moving to Florida changed, what felt like- almost everything to me. I left behind my father, brother, and many family members to remove ourselves from an unhealthy environment. As soon as we got to my grandmother’s house all I could…

Being restorative means being able to figure out what is wrong and fix it. Very skilled at dealing with problems, practical or personal. Being restorative is being able to say that I can go back and fix things that I’ve had problems with in the past and applying what I’ve learned to help understand it better. To me it’s good…
