Acknowledge
I usually read when I need to for my classes. There are books on my shelves that I bought it and want to read it when I have time. There are few type of books I like to read, love novel, religion books, self-help, education books about kids, cooking books, and many other. However, it is hard to read when I have two young children. The time I read the materials for my classes are at late night, after both my kids are asleep.
When I read, it brings me into the book and it kind of in a way to allow me to take a break from my busy life. I miss reading for pleasure!

    Analysis Of The Article 'Is Google Making USupid?'

    I use to read a lot of books as a kid, but as I have aged I find myself reading books less and less. However, I don’t think that means I am reading less than before. I think the way I read has changed. Instead of reading a long book, I read subtitle on movies or short articles. A lot of that has to do with my lack of concentration.…

    Don T You Dare Read This Mrs. Dunphrey Book Report

    I can read a whole page and by the time I am done, I barely know what’s going on. I usually have to go back into the text multiple times and reread just so I could understand. Doing that usually takes a lot of time, that’s why it usually takes me a long time to finish one book. While I am reading something that I’m good at doing is making connections to other texts, personal experiences, and the world.…

    Terry Tempest Williams Why I Write Analysis

    It is around noon and I am sitting in my English classroom reading Why I Write by Terry Tempest Williams. Listening to her reasons about why she writes, I can relate to some, but most I can’t connect to at all. When my english teacher gives us the homework assignment I think to myself, why do I write? I answer because I'm told to. I then slept on it for a night and realized that if I had to pick writing or reading, I’d pick reading.…

    Reading In Tim O Brien's The Things They Carried

    I always read as a kid. I was the small boy who plowed through books day and night, my mom scrambling to and from the library just to keep up with me. The only thing fixated on my mind was reading a new book and being totally captivated by the plot. Since then, I read less and less, sometimes going months without finishing a book. I feel sad that I spend less and less days staying up to midnight just to read one ... more … page.…

    Being Mindful About Mindfulness Summary

    In Ellisa Strauss’s article, “Being Mindful About Mindfulness”, she focuses on children being taught mindfulness through meditation in the classrooms. She argues that while meditation may help and benefit a child mentally and emotionally, she is worried that these children will shape into what she calls it, “corporation humanoids”. Although Strauss explains why meditation is becoming a popular practice within businesses and schools and uses evidence to back up these claims, at the same time she is worried whether meditation will shape children in the right or wrong way. By assuming that teaching meditation in schools will turn children into “corporation humanoids”, Strauss ignores that fact that meditation has been around for centuries and whether the practice is used within businesses or schools, it benefits the individual one way or another.…

    Federalist Text Analysis

    I know that I am more of a visual learner than an auditory learner, but I usually get bored really quickly whenever I read a long text that is full of information or does not have any pictures or graphs. So instead of reading “The Federalist Paper” in one go, I break it down into sections and then use a highlighter to highlight important facts and take notes as I go. These learning tips are not new, but I always find them helpful when I need to analyze the text later on. I also tend to get lost a lot when I read and end up skimming and skipping throughout the text. To prevent this from happening, I often put my cell phone, which is my main distraction, away or on silence and give myself time to sit down and actually read the text.…

    Reflective Essay On The Gun

    The Gun by Paul Langan was the first book I read alone back when I was in 7th grade. I was in my English class examining the shelf of books in the back of the room then a thought came to my head that I never read a book that I wasn’t force to read for homework or read over to prepare for a chapter quiz or test. So I asked my teacher if I could borrow the book for a few weeks which she allow. This book was my first that I didn’t have to stress over about reading 50 pages for the weekend or taking chapter notes to make sure I got and understood what I was reading. This was just for me, so I could take my time, come back to it at any time and I don’t have to rush through pages in order to fulfill an assignment.…

    Example Of A Theoretical Journal

    An emptiness filled the air. My hands shook as they wiped the wetness from my face, and I stood in the silence of my room. Another long Friday night with no plans and, seemingly, not enough friends. Sighing, I slumped on my bed. The unmade blankets entangled me in a tempting warmth, and, as I lay there, forcing the tears from falling, I scanned my room’s walls and furniture.…

    Obstacles In English Class

    In the quote by Christopher Columbus he states “By prevailing over all obstacles and distractions, one may unfailingly arrive at his chosen goal or destination” I thought this quote pertained to me because I know this year there are going to be many obstacles in English class, but if I just push myself I know I can reach my goal. As a reader and writer, I believe that I have grown stronger over the years. In the past, I did not like reading at all I would try to get by with reading as little of the stories as possible in order to pass. I felt this way until this summer when I started to read the books for English.…

    Warm Bodies Character Analysis

    When we think of stories, we think of words. We think of the characters and we think of the setting. But do we really go into depth when we think about words? Do we think about how the struggles that are faced? Do we think about the mean, wretched, nightmares that the conflicts become?…

    The Mindfulness Movement

    Religions can change over time and location. Every time a change occurs, a certain number of people are unhappy with how their current religion is fitting them and their lifestyle, and thus make small or big changes to it. Buddhism is no exception. There are many different types of Buddhism: Theravada, Mahayana, Vajrayana, Pureland, Zen, and others. Every one is similar, but also has some key differences, not only in geographical location, but also in key ideas and practices.…

    Mindfulness Reflection Paper

    Meditation/ mindfulness exercises are something I have wanted to incorporate into my life weekly. The first time I have even done a mindfulness exercise was in counseling with my therapist. I would do it once a week before every session. I found it really helpful to start out each session with a quick five-minute exercise. Without even knowing I went through four of the five stages in the transtheoretical model: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, and action.…

    Spiritual Wellness Reflection

    Spiritual wellness is the most important dimension of wellness that is helping me throughout my journey here at the University of Michigan. I chose spiritual wellness because my relationship with Jesus helps me to give him credit in the good times and to endure through the tough times. This dimension has really helped me balance my relationship with Jesus and my schoolwork. I have a lot of support coming from God, my church family, my parents, and my friends that helps me to maintain and develop my spiritual wellness. Bridge Scholars PLUS has helped me to remind myself to keep assessing my spiritual wellness, so I am where I need to be in my relationship with Jesus.…
