Introduction

                                          The project “Writing The Brain” attribute me the opportunity to pay a close attention concerning my thoughts. Thinking was to me a sort of natural process that normally occur in my head, although it is a familiar activity, I have never considered to spend my time in order to examine those thoughts. This project helped me realize what my thoughts are really about and to keep analyse them in the future.

Thinking in Writing

Thinking Rhetorically and Reflectively 

 

 

                                         My name is Jules Julenane, I am a student at the New York City College of Technology. My major is concerning medical, I am pretty sure that I want to be in the field of medicine but I am sort of hesitating between pediatric and maxillofacial oral surgery. The main purpose of the project “Writing the brain” is to reflect cautiously on the diverse reflections that occurred during a particular day, to write those thinking down and to take picture of scenes related to that specific day of thought is a part of the assignment, which is called “Thinking Visually”, the last part of the task require to write an essay based on the thoughts that have been noted, this part is referred as “Thinking Rhetorically”. This Project enabled me to pay a remarkable and a special attention to the ideas that habitually go through my mind, I argue that my thoughts are mostly focused on the things that will allow my future success.

 

 

I usually do my utmost to put on mind on the things that matter the most to me, such as how good I want to be in each classes that I am taking, how I have to manage my time in order to handle my job and at the same time, get the highest grades so that I will be able to enter into a medical school, plus how I will proceed to achieve my goals, realize my dreams and not to mention the fact that I have to entertain myself sometimes, so that I can   keep myself from going  crazy. It is like I have to, I do not get to mess up, and it is a must, a duty to stay focus, to be as much responsible as well as independent that I can be. My mind is mostly occupied by the sort of thoughts that can lead me somewhere concrete and helpful. I attempt to keep myself concentrate, even though it is quite hard sometimes, there is always a whole bunch of ideas that jump up in my brain and it is often about some crazy, lazy or funny facts that have nothing to do with my daily occupations, matters that cannot in any way be useful to me, such as to get a new pair of boots, “ I should get a doughnut, I want a doughnut, well.. maybe two.. I love the coconut flavor, I should definitely get one”, specifically     “ The G train is trouble, why is it taking so long??? ” or “My biology teacher has a funny voice.” Therefore, I ordinarily try to filtrate all of those thoughts so that I can get something beneficial out of all those mass ideas. One of the principal subject that invade my thoughts is to be good at my job, which is nail technology and which focus on creating beautiful fingernails and toenails for clients, performing procedures to take care of cuticles and applying nail polish as well as gel polish, applying and removing artificial nail extensions, all depending on what satisfy the clients. My thoughts are fairly focused on my work due to the fact that, even though it does not have much to do with the profession that I chose, it is still a part of the things that will facilitate my future success.

 

 

In order to support my statements, I will based my arguments on some of my specific thoughts that I have been taking notes of. Like I mentioned, trivial or lazy thinking happens to catch up my attention, which lead me sometimes to some aimless thoughts. For instance, “Why do I have to get up so early every morning?” or “I should stay in my bed a bit longer… I still have time to get prepare.” Those sort of thoughts habitually occur early in the morning, in those cases I usually take a deep breath and think about some conceptions that I deeply believe in, which are “The world is owned by those who have the courage to wake up really early in the morning.” Morning people anticipate problem and try to minimize them, they are proactive. Benjamin Franklyn once said, “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” Rising early is a quality of highly successful people. I also have faith in the notion “ Those who fight or strive for they want, are usually those whose thrive.” From those perceptions, I get the strength to get up early every morning, whether it frizzing or not, whether I am tired or not. I usually get rational to illustrate, “ I do not want to be late, let’s do it. It is time to move.” Or “I should study biology real often, it’s tough.” “I will need a lot of those bio stuffs to get into medical school.”

 

Besides the fact that it pleases me a lot, my job as a nail technician, in spite the fact that it does not have much to do with my major, I believe that it is one the things that will increase my sense of responsibility and will attribute me the wings of independence, it will also smooth the path toward the medical school. To be independent is one the thing that I usually think and dream about, “I need to be stronger and more independent.” My job also occupy a part daily thoughts, mostly in order to figure out a way to get better and better at it “I should practice more on the French manicure, practice make perfect” In my point of view, it is fun and constructive to do something in the meanwhile despite the fact that it can be a bit complicate to handle two things at a time. It is actually a challenge to be good in school as well as my job, if you asked me about which one count the most, I would not really have to think about it, I keep in mind which one of those is the most important to me, it is indubitably the grades that I get in school, it is what will allow me to reach my long-terms goals.

 

 

In conclusion, there is a sort of long way between the facts of being an adolescent and being an adult, it can take some time to get used to it. I mean, last year my life was lot more simple, all I had to do or think of was a way to get as much fun as possible, hang out with my friends, or spend a lot of time in front of the TV. Whereas now, my thoughts are directed towards the things that should enable my future success, such as school and work.Can my job affect my grades? It could have, if I did not take ownership of my actions or be aware of my obligations. I know what it entails, I am capable and I am totally ready to make all  the sacrifices necessary to handle both of them, as well as possible. I do my utmost to devotemy thinking time to the goals that I want to accomplish.
