INTRODUCTION:

In Eng1101 we had to write about our brain and put it in to a project. To explain how our own brain functions threw out and entire day and to tell the readers about why you think certain things. Also to give the reader a chance to look at something they may never have done before.

THINKING IN WRITING:

This is the second part of the project were we had to pick a day to write about what we were thinking every thirty minutes at least and put it down on paper and then write a post about it for homework. my thought were about my financial aid problem, playing basketball, sleeping and finding work.

THINKING VISUALLY:

My first picture is called  “May I have less money please”

My second picture is called “I need sleep”

My third picture is called “Basketball is my favorite sport”

And my last picture is called “I need a job asap”

THINKING RHETORICALLY AND REFLECTIVELY:

My name is Dymond R. Torres I am eight teen years old and have three older siblings, my brother actually goes to city tech as well. I just started going to city tech just about two months ago. I’m also majoring in liberal arts which is a major for students that don’t have much of an idea about what they want to be in the near future. Sometimes I get frustrated at all the work that needs to be done when thinking about what to be when im older. My sister always told me college wouldn’t be easy but i didn’t listen, of course because I felt like since you choose what you want to take it will be better for you. Well that is the opposite, school is hard which is why I try to make it my main focus out of everything else that I do on a daily bases. Like playing basketball, changing my financial aid, trying to get more sleep, playing the ps4 and working. I also tend to over think a lot of unnecessary things because I fear I will be wrong. This act use to lower my participation grade since I was in middle school. i always had a hard time raising my hand and answering questions just because I over think what others might think about my answer or even the teacher. I sill barely participate in my classes now since there all new faces I’ve never seen before. So the habit should stop which is probably what you, whom ever reads this essay will think. When I over think or think way too much for my brain I start to think zone out a lot and that is not good. I already day dream enough so thinking will just cause the problem to become worse as time goes on. I argue if over thinking about what people think or what you think about yourself will cause problems in your future.
When we had to pick a day to write our thoughts for this project I kept thinking that I think about a lot of things but are they different, no they are not. The thoughts are always similar each day, I thought it was kind of weird at first but then it seems like some people could think about their life so many times in different ways. I had a lot of thought and only wrote down the ones that popped up the most in my head or that were important to me. The most four important ones that I had taken a pictures of was my bed, the basketball court, the financial aid office, and finding a job. These four things are something I always think about because they connect to one another. I have trouble finding a job to help pay for financial aid and with everything going on in school I pretty much don’t have time to myself and when I do I love to be alone and whether it is in the park or in my room. I also try to relax as much as possible so I’m not as grumpy when my family comes home from working. This argues that I think about others and there feelings but sometimes I wonder if they do the same. When they ask how my day went or how was school i get a little bit mad because I usually don’t like to talk about my day because it is always the same each and everyday. So should I stop thinking and just go with the flow or should I continue  to think about others opinion.
Playing basketball is very hard for a female because I for one only play with boys, no female plays the sports outside of school were I live so it is kind of frustrating because I don’t really have someone in common with me. When I think about what the guys think about how I play they say im good for a girl, but honestly thinking how would they know. No one had ever seen me play with other females before, but I take the compliment anyways because it makes me feel like I can actually play with certain guys who don’t judge me because I am a female. Although I think that I’m not that good because of other people’s comments toward me like “she is a girl i will not hold her” “lets go easy on her because she is a girl.” It lowers my confident level a lot and give up on myself or feel upset. Most people do not and will never understand how they make others feel with their negative comments. So as time went on I learned that the only way to shut someone up is to show them that females nd males can do the same thing. And of course there will always be that judgement everywhere you go and I have learned that but it is up to that person to believe in themselves boost their own confident. I learn by watching my brother play and my cousins because they have the most confident I know and it seems like it is good to not think so much about what others think of you.
Financial aid situation is really taking up my time. Every time I went to the office something new kept coming up and because I am a freshmen I don’t really know how the system works. On day i went to the office and all i asked was a simple question, this person was being really rude and kept giving me attitude like he did not want to help me. I was quite and didn’t talk back because then I felt like I would be judge for talking to a grown up with disrespect. Later on that day I told my parent and they explained to me that when people are rude you have to be rude back to show them that it is not okay to talk to someone like that. For me it is really hard because I’m not the type to snap and someone so quickly because of the judgement I will receive from them or even the help that they will provide for me. So i learned that you have to treat people how they treat you no matter what the situation is because then they will think that it is okay to do it to others all the time.
Job searching is so difficult nowadays. Why do we have to be a certain age to work, how come nobody needs help in any store, why when you go to get an application they stare at you. I wonder all the time is it because they need good,smart, hard working people to hire. Of course trying to find a job is not easy none said it was unless you have connection, but I don’t so I struggle to find one that will make me feel comfortable and will work between my school time. I would love to work in a place were everyone is nice to you people don’t judge but that will never happen there is always someone who seems to think they are better than you. I start to over think about these things and end up not even finding work. So now I am stuck so h’m starting to learn that over thinking can lead to not getting the things you want in life because you listen to the people who don’t want you to succeed at anything. This will help me in the future and to start being focused on what I have to do because in reality people are always going to judge.
