The reward was sometimes a marshmallow, but often a cookie or a pretzel. In follow-up studies, the researchers found that children who were able to wait longer for the preferred rewards tended to have better life outcomes, as measured by SAT scores, educational…

first semester final exams are completed, I plan on reading a novel that I’ll enjoy. This goal is important to me because reading is something I gave up on in exchange for pursuing a career that is better suited for the job market. Hopefully, the reward will be a stress reliever and rekindling of a lost interest in “reading for fun.” The second goal that I intend to accomplish is to keep a journal of my daily activities. I plan on using as few words as possible in a word document to record what…

did helped me to understand their views. I was able to realize who were in favor of the initiative and who were not. Besides conducting private interviews, I also hold town hall meetings.
