This is such a big world, but it is funny how we know so many people that know the same people we do. Like your bestfriend’s sister’s boyfriend. Weird i know. That is when you say it is a small world. So the experiences that you go through is not just one of a kind, everybody has similar experiences and you can help them by telling them the best way to handle it. For example, if you handled it the wrong way or even the right way then by telling them what to do or not to do can help them and prevent them from making a mistake. It always a good idea to get help from people even if you think you don’t need it, it is still a good idea. 🙂

There are not really any connections between classes. There is education, chorus, basic writing, passport, and literature. So I guess basic writing and passport are connected. Other than that not really anything. However, all of my classes will help me in the future. With writing, musically, and teaching. This will all help me in my job and in life. 🙂

My expectations for college have not really changed. I still have the same expectations and I have followed them. I am making new friends conatantly, I am getting good grades, and having fun. Some of the answers that I have found out to my questions are it is a chanllenge to be a student athlete, but it is do able. You just have to stay on top of things. Also as long as you have good time management skills you can get anything done. It is hard at first, but you get used to it. All you have to do is find out what works for you and then you will have no problem. The best way to keep up all of this is just to do it, love it, learn it, and most of all have fu with it! That is all you can do. 🙂

Literacy is to read and write. That is as simple as it can be, in my opinion. So it change in different diciplines depending on how you are looking at it. When you are writing a IEP for education it is dieefernt if you are writing a police report. Also reading something for eduaction is different then reading something for business. Also the way of interperating it is different. 🙂

In my opinion, I think professors expect way too much out of us. Just because we are in college does not mean we know everything. A lot of what we are learning is new. For example, my education class is ridiculous. My professor expects us to know everything about different types of schools and not only knowledge like that, but also electronic things. For example, I was having trouble with turnitin.com because it wouldn’t let me log in and it was going crazy so I asked one of my other teachers to help me because I have never used it before and it still wouldn’t work. So I asked my professor if he could help me with it and he told me to go ask a classmate or figure it out on my own. I told him I asked one of my other professors and he helped me and still couldn’t figure it out. He replied saying I am sorry figure it out on your own. First of all, if one of my other teachers and I couldn’t figure it out how am I supposed to do it on my own? So he finally helped me, but he expects way to much out of us. They should expect out of us what they think we know and then see if we know more. Don’t get ridiculous, first see what we know. If we knew everything we wouldn’t be in college. So first see what we know and go from there. I think that I should approach my classes with an open mind and ready to learn. Does that always work? No. But I sure can try. If you come into a class with an open mind, ready to learn, and excited/willing to learn you will have fun. Trust me! 🙂
