I have not been thinking differently but I am surely endeavoring. I have an arduous time changing things about myself so at this point I am just gradually endeavoring. After reading these two chapters I endeavor to disunite my emotions from my thinking due to the fact that they incline to get me into an abundance of trouble. Prior to making decisions, I stop and notice first if I am allowing my emotions to get in the way. I ascertain no emotions are tied to my decisions just so at the end I get a good outcome.…

Life is simply perspective. Some say that you have your whole life to do something, while others will argue that life is short and you should enjoy it to the full extent of it’s worth. You can look at something as exquisite, or atrocious. It doesn’t change what it is, but it changes your reaction to it. No matter how sure you are about the morality, someone else could view it differently.…
Some things such as sports, friends, and other interesting activities are things that students look forward to, not more work. But when there is too much homework, they are prevented from doing their extra-curricular activities. Life for most students is now revolving…
My outside interests would be playing sports, volunteering, making crafts, and art. I am on a swim team and participate in intramural sports at school. I like being part of a team and meeting new people who have the same interests as me. Volunteering is fun and I hope to continue to do it; the feeling of knowing that I have helped people is really great. When I have free time, I love making crafts, the challenge that I get when I try to create something new is exciting.…
I must be there right? My part is of the same importance as any other of my other classmates, I was sure of it. No I’m not Mary or Joseph, but of the disciples I had an equal amount of responsibility. My lines were a crucial part of the story, essential to explaining the birth of my then savior, Jesus. Only I had practiced to say the two sentences assigned to me.…

A big challenge is the drive to do things from Fit. After going to class and hanging out with friends I find myself not leaving enough time for it. Who is going to choose running around the block over going to a friends house to watch a movie? I just need to work on being more motivated about Fit. One way to get more motivated about fit is to mix play with it.…
Throughout my high school years, I’ve seen myself grow grown in numerous aspects such as maturity and a sense of responsibility through the habits of heart and mind. My strongest habit of heart is interaction. I am able to work and be completely open and accept constructive criticism with others more efficiently than I was ever able to. Working with others was a weakness especially since I’d end up doing most if not all the work and felt they didn’t deserve my grade. Fortunately for me, I had teachers by my side helping me open up to the idea of working with others.…
I could actually have a life then instead of doing homework all day. I could participate in extracurricular activities like I used to when I participated in lacrosse, but now I can’t because my grades are slipping due to not finishing homework! I could do fun things instead of homework because it keeps me cooped up inside like a prisoner in a penitentiary cell and I hate it (“Too Much Homework, Too Little Time”, pg. 2)!” In conclusion, there are many reasons why students do not…
Having great time management skills, the homework does not bother me as much as the 5:30 wake up does. When my siblings start attending high school, I will advise them to work on their time management skills. This would include doing all of the homework the day they are given it, no matter when the due date is. This will open up time to do other things with friends…
There is one principle foundation I try to follow in life: balancing things. One of the most challenging human characteristics for me is controlling my desires, which results in high expectations for things. When I want something to happen, but it ends up not occurring, I tend to stress out and have bad moods. To minimize future burdens, I consistently remind myself not to hold high hopes; however, that does not mean I cannot look forward to anything. It just means to moderately inhibit the desires to manage any risks of it affecting me negatively.…
Being social creatures, humans need to interact with other in order to better themselves and society. Groups of people tend to sprout out around common interests, be it sports, reading or other hobbies. Unfortunately, when I started middle school I did was not the best at making friends. I did not seem to be interested in the things that all my peers seemed to find fascinating so it was hard to find something to talk about.…
In today’s fast paced world, it seems as if there is always something going on. Technology is a big reason why we have become so accustomed to the constant influx of information. With the likes of the Internet and its social media outlets, information is provided to the population faster than ever before. Due to the fact that this form of information sharing is new to the public, many adults are not accustomed to this quick and fast paced form of information sharing. I believe that this form of learning has caused me to become impatient while listening to others.…
