Category: Intro

I feel encouraged to be taking this course this semester. I believe that it will bring my writing to another level and elevate it.

While I was doing virtual learning, I was not picking up much of the content and it was a tough time. It was very easy to slack off because you’re at home and can lay down, use your phone, etc. Being in a physical classroom raises my motivation and can help me better understand things. My main concern when learning online was completing assignments on time and giving it my all. I am now taking 2 classes that are hybrid and 2 in person to better balance it out for me. I am looking forward to learning this year and completing work in school.

A photo that means a lot to me is this photo of Kingda Ka, the tallest rollercoaster in the world in New Jersey. I first rode it in 2021 and I was terrified of such a ride because of the height and speed. After a few minutes of contemplating with friends, I got on it and rode it 4 times in the same day; plenty more to this day and it taught me to never be scared of opportunities and to take them while they’re there. You never know what it can bring to you. It was also a very cool experience. Never be scared to do something you haven’t done and always have an open mind!

Going into this course I feel mundane. From what I’ve been told so far, I hope it really is different than the writing we’ve been doing all of highschool.

My time during virtual learning was awful. I believe I need a classroom environment in order to help me understand and learn easier. Especially with all the distractions that come with learning at home. My lack of motivation to do any form of work was detrimental to my grade. Most of the time I’d just have the class in the background and do my own thing instead. Of course it’s pretty much my fault for not caring that much, but regardless I’d rather be in a situation where my options are limited and I absolutely have to focus.

This is an image of my cat if that wasn’t obvious. His name is Miko and we got him in January of this year. He has already integrated himself into the family and has brought us nothing but fun and cute times. My whole family is team cat for the win!

One word to describe how I feel about this course = Interested

Being on online student was very difficult for me because I just couldn’t stay focused on my work. I was at my worst academically and couldn’t get anything done. Transitioning from online to in person was quite easy for me because I was in the classroom with no distractions like there was at home. I personally like doing in person more than online.

This picture means a lot to me. This is my dog Zazu, he is a 14 year old yorkie. He has been with me during my toughest situations and has always been with me since I was 4 years old. Zazu isn’t just a pet, he’s my best friend. He will forever be a baby to me.
