I think that learning about a place’s history is important because to fully understand the place you have to know where the place originated. Knowing the background teaches you everything that it has gone through and it is common knowledge that history repeats itself so in order to escape the problems from the past you have to know about them and learn from them. Your role will be affected by the roles that were played by other alumni members. I will be someone at Morningside who has grown and taken my lessons learned with me where ever I end up going after graduating.

Who am I now? Is really a great question. I am still the kid that came from a small town in Nebraska. I still don’t talk a whole lot, but I do talk more than when I first got here. I have matured a lot in this first term. I have to be more responsible on certain things and I have learned not to procrastinate as much. Although I still do it some, it doesn’t happen has often which is really nice for me. I really do not think I have changed that much, and I feel like the same person I was when I first got here.

My major right now is to study business administration or at least something to do with business. I know it is still early in my college career so that could probably change at anytime. I’m not even sure what I would change to. So for right now it is going to stay at a business major. I have chosen to follow on the lines of a business major because of all the different opportunities that can come out of having a major in business. There isn’t just one or two jobs that I use a business major for there are several.

I have learned that my writing process can be very slow if I don’t stay focused but, when I stay focused I actually can get something done. What I thought i did well in this paper was that I created an outline of what I was going to write about before I started which i think really helped me get started on this paper and to get it done in good time. I’m not sure for myself what I would have done better because I think it sounds like a good paper. So I guess I will just have to wait until after tomorrow and see what advice I get out of my peer review.

My first article that I chose to read about has to do with church attendance and happiness among Northern Irish undergraduate students. In this article it talks how they have did some studies and have taken surveys at different colleges of kids who attend church services and how most of them are more happy than those kids who don’t attend a church service. This article also kinda talks about depression in and how that is not seen as much in kids who attend church services than those who don’t have a religious faith.
The second article had to do with happiness, health, and religiosity. This was a test for an association between, gender differences in, happiness, physical health, mental health, and religiosity. They had four separate self-rating skills where they used males and females. Males had a significantly higher self-rating mean score of happiness and mental health than females, while females had a significantly higher religiosity mean score than the males. All the inter-correlations between the four self-ratings were significant and positive.

I don’t think all positive thinking destroyed the economy but I do think some did thought. There are people out in the world who think positive to try and help the people around them and just the economy in general. They will go out of their way to do make things better for others. While at the same time you have some positive thinkers that only do things to help themselves. These positive thinkers don’t really care about others they just want to get the big bucks and keep what they have going. Just depending on the person that you are I think is what helps the economy and what could help destroy it.
