Too Much Time on My Hands

People take today's technology for granted. Most never even take the time to figure out how all these things work, they just consume it. People consider technology as a given, but they never take the steps to fully understand the technology and its consequences. The scratch is simple, I do it every day for hours. First thing I do when I wake up is to check my phone. Then after I am ready for school I turn on Spotify to play music in my car. Once I am…

role in this one. Too much control is given to the student and they choose to miss. The schedule they planned was overwhelming; the classes were too challenging, too much homework, or struggles with work and school, which would…

troublesome time during a few weeks in high school. I found myself to feel completely alone even though I was not a loner. Eventually, the lingering feeling of emptiness soon passed over and I became fine again. Afterwards, I wondered why I had felt alone during this time if I was socializing and interacting with others in school and at home. I came to terms that I did not feel as one whole person but as someone with multiple personalities and quirks. Ironically, it was also during this time of…

In my informative briefing project, I choose to speak about big game hunting in bush Alaska. If I could redo this project to make it better, I would probably change my topic to the life and times of a celebrity instead because I think that would be easier to plan and speak about. In my informative briefing speech, I had some good qualities and some bad qualities throughout my speech. I believe that my strengths were my visuals on my google slides and the tone of my voice which was loud and clear…

use the most. They may question, “Am I watching too much television”? Yet, how would they know when it becomes too much television. High School and College students all have dived deep into the world of social media. Social Media usage can cut into a Netflix binge and television marathon watching times, but it isn’t a good jump to be made.

thought this class was going to be lecture based with little to no hands on activities. Needless to say, I was quite surprised when I found out that I was completely wrong. I was not aware before signing up for the class that we were going to receive a robot. Upon that realization, I was fairly intrigued. I was excited that I was going to be able to build a robot and then program it accomplish tasks. I do no really recall a time in my childhood when I played with Legos, so I was excited when I…

Looking back over the course of this year I came to the realization of how much can change and develop in a short amount of time. Throughout English 11 I learned a lot about how I am as a reader and as a writer. Along with the numerous other activities we did. Each activity and project is a factor in my growth as a learner. It seems that in every book there is a lesson you can learn. Over the semester I had the pleasure of reading two books independently: The Lies we tell ourselves and The First…

It is just my personal belief that politics is seldom used for the good, I strongly believe in open transparency and common vision as guiding principal. If I have to resort to politics, it simply means that the company probably have some form of a major problem trying…

more socially involved. But ironically, we associate men as being leaders but yet believe they lack social skills when it comes to listening and associate women as followers but yet they are the talkers and give too many details never getting to the point when in reality is an upper hand on communication skills and we all know that communication is key for a "successful leader". But once again how can…
