Famous Last Words: Life


Coming into the last week of this class I feel a sign of relief from not only school, but life as a whole. I have never been this frustrated with school then i have been this year. I think the closer i get to finishing up this four year degree the more overwhelmed I get with life. I fight each and every day to get through the week and try my very best in very thing I do. But somehow there is not enough time for me to do anything in a day. Being in college i noticed the time moves faster than when being in grade school. This semester has not only been overwhelming but it has been one of the interesting times of my life, i have opened a lot of new doors and closed a lot of toxic doors. I hope by this time next year God will bless me with everything I been asking for. But only time will tell. I have learned a lot in this class and I feel like being able to learn in a different way has brought out another side of me I never thought I knew. I could go on and on about how I have changed since this past year, but I just want everybody to know that I enjoyed this class even though I slacked for two weeks I been pushing through this semester and it is slowing coming to an end. I would recommend anybody to take this class simply because the way she teaches this is totally different from the rest of the professors at the University of Oklahoma. This is a new aspect of learning and I think it helps a person grow when it comes to different learning aspect. In a classroom setting it sometimes is harder to learn but being able to learn on the internet and interact with people helps a person grow and help expand their learning aspects in different classroom settings.   

growth mindset:Progress


Coming into this class i thought it was going to be easy with a little bit of work to do. But as the weeks went by I noticed my time management with this course was becoming out of hand and it was getting harder for me to include this class with the rest of my hard classes. this class ask for to much and a lot of the links have me confused on what they are asking of me. but overall I made it through after 16 weeks and I am so happy to almost be done with this semester.

Tech Tip: Canvas Calendar

i think this is a good tool for the class were in and canvas is easy to go through then D2l. but i think Canvas should send us reminderings to our phone when things in class are due because my time managing and reminding that things are due is bad because we do not get reminded. This would help a lot for my connect homework in class because we never get reminded that it is coming up.

week 14: The Girl Face Elephant


Testing one to act out of character is a good way to see if their head strong or very influenced by other people around them. So, in this story their is a sweet ole elephant that is being played about him being to nice and sweet. Then one day his own demerer was switched by listening from a different points of view on how he was supposed to act. Hearing somebody talk about you and how you should be could hurt you as an individual.
Being in a situation where you have no control over it will drive a person crazy and usually after a person has did them bad activities comes to realize what they did was out of character. A person should not let other people effect them in away where things will be up going wrong. But this is a lot of the times people need to pick and choose their battles wisely.
Men: Aye why do you think the elephants is so big but so scared to do anything
  • the men all laugh
  • Men: I tell you guys all the time that just because a person is big does not mean they are what people perceive them to be.
  • Different Men: I know, but i want to see some action
Days went by and the elephant sat there and thought about all the nasty thing those people said about him and how could he be so big and not do anything. But in reality that is not what the elephant wanted. But at the end of the day so many people will judge people off of their likings and well beings. Trying to think other people's problems helps brings out a person emotional and most of the time the do not need to be expressed.
Its crazy that a person can listen to a group of men and act the way they hear because they know no better. In this story an elephant lived in a stall and loved his owner but one nights his whole mind set changed. One night there were these men that jumped over the fence and they were trying to rob person and they said some of the nasites things you could think of. And the elephant not knowing any better liked what they were saying. In the elephants head he heard them say spare nobody, take their life, be mean and cruel. So, the next day the keeper of the elephant came of the see the animal and he attacked him with no warning then the other person heard him killing him and tried to help but ending up getting killed to. So, there was this one keeper that was trying to find out why the elephant was acting like this. And he was like maybe the elephant heard some bad things so of he was to bring positive people around him it might change the attitude of the elephant and to be honest that was all the elephant needed. Some positivity !

Author's Note: I think the author was really trying to preach a real life story that happened in their lifetime . We all know that human beings are very talked into things it is not that easy that things are happening. I think the author was trying to tell us that pressure is hard when a person is trying to prove something to people. And its crazy that after the elephant did what he did, People want to be confused on how the owner died, But all that nasty talking about him drove him up the wall. And after those men see what the elephant was capable of they felt so bad about what they said to each other the night before. I find this story fun to read because of the simply fact there are so many thrills that make a person be intact to it.

Famous Last Words: Trying to push Through

Last week reading, i was not able to do. But doing the project for the week helped me work on my sentence structure and grammar. Usually my best work is done whenever i do my different readings on stories. I like to remake my stories from a story i read. As far, with reading other peoples work i come across a lot of reading and remakes that are really good to. especially if it is a popular story i see a remake of it and it is interesting to read and see everybody's view on stories. My reasoning for getting so lazy with this class is because i am a biology major and a lot of my classes have been getting harder each day. There are times throughout the week i have mental breakdowns because of all the things i have going on in other classes. But i see a small connection with the amount of writing i have to do in my other classes. there are some connections on the way to write things but as far as similar material no. And this weekend on campus i attended a Probate and got entertainment from some sororities putting on a show, it was like an introduction to being included into the greekdom life. Going to things like this warm my heart and it is pure entertainment. For this week in class i hope to do all my assignments in this class and work on time management.

Reading Notes: Part B (Dhritarshtra and Pandu)

In this story called Dhritarashtra and Pandu there is a king that goes by the name of King Pandu and he is the ruler of his kingdom. He had two wives that he married and one of his wives named Kunti was of celestial origin but her mother was a nymph; and her father was a holy brahmin. In the story a palace was built and she ministered unto the king faithfully, with servings of food at any hour. This story was a great story that dealt with a lot of love and confusion but in the end a good ending happened.
