Hey! Everyday i give me all. I live in the now i may not go in to class everyday with just the thirst for knowledge, but i always come out with it. I go to each class to learn and not remember. I may not feel that way at that moment but i always seem to be able to pop up with that information at later dates. In my core courses i find that the meaning of it is to help you know the basics for an extra boost of help along the way. Even though it not be with your majoring in i believe that your going to always need your core courses at some point. I will take advantage of it by actually taking the time to process and learn everything that is taught. It will benefit me just by expanding my knowledge. I plan to take advantage of a four year college by soaking up all the information i can. I don't plan to just learn it long enough to take a test. I plan to carry it with me through out my life. Everyday i plan to challenge my self by not only taking what the teacher gave me. I will go further in depth with the subject and find out more. I will study, i will listen, and with that i will grow into a better student and a more knowledgeable person.

Hey so i think this weeks high for me was our group trip to the bowling alley. The whole time i was there i couldnt help but laugh. I had a good time (even though it was cheating because it wouldnt let me knock down the pins. my low this week was..humm i dont even know i guess my low was just getting aggrivated. I have a way of letting certain things get to me sometimes but i hope to get over that soon.if i had one do over i would come into utop quiet as a mug.

In my Global connections class we have began to talk about diversity. We have talked about the influence of culture on our lives and the lives around us. In English i am learning how to shape my writing skills. We are learning diffrent techniques to allow the flow of writing to sound better and become more agreeable to the audience. My learning is going pretty good. i've learned how to manage my time and knowing the write time when to either study or have fun. I believe that as long as i keep up my current pace that the college ride mite continue to move smoothly. To improve my learning i could take more time to study and comprehend and not ride to remember facts for a short period.
Friendship
Friendship is a laugh
a joy that will never end
an argument that should have never began
making-up bcause you never forget that you're friends
laughing so that you cry
crying and knowing that someone to help is near by
getting to know the flaws
knowing that every remark is not cause to withdrawl
a journey that will be more fun as you a go
& finally a person that you will always be there for
againt tears and foes
just plain & simple Friendship

Hope everybody has a great night..ttys

Hey again everybody I hope that you are all having a great start to UTOP. So far I’ve had a great time in all my classes. I am not drowning in class work. My classes are about the same as high school. We had block schedule so that we would be prepared for college and it actually was pretty effective. My first rough draft in my English class was pretty smooth. I completed it the first day I received it so I wouldn’t be cramming in four pages at 4am the day of. The peer group was pretty good to. We each read our story and found out different little tweaks we could all make from grammar, emotion, or connection from paragraph. . Now that we have finished our first peer group I have to go back and check my grammar because I had a few..or a lot of run on sentences. Revision is the look and search while editing is the actual act of fixing the mistakes you found. College reading assignments are a lot less strenuous then High school because its not lets remember the plot of a story but knowledge that will help your writing progress. For fall semester I’m just going to do my reading after the class is over then if not finished I will continue soon as I get back to the dorms. I have no questions for college I just want to let things fall as they may and when something comes up learn how to fix it then for future refrence. (learn from my mistakes)

Hello everybody! As a college freshman i dont feel much different. It was never a big stresser in my life & i never thought that i wouldnt make it to this point. To me its just another phase in my life that i have to get by to reach my goal & all though its a sort of obstacle i plan to have a whole lot of fun on the way!! This summer i am dong the UTOP program & out of it i am expecting to make friends and gain credit hours that will help me towards my goal of completing my criminal justice major. One of the classes i am taking is English 1101 & expect to gain a better grasp on the writing process because to be honest i dont have any of it down packed. I just usually write what i think feels write and not what is write. I have written poetry about many of my family members & events in my life because sometimes that is the only way i feel i can vent. An example of this is a poem i wrote in 6th grade about my nana. She passed away so i just sat & wrote of what we cant do &  the memories we will always have.
In writing i believe my strengths are to right what i feel off of what i know & not just the facts of the matter because i believe that every ones opinion should be heard and not just another repeat of what we've already read. Although i have strengths i know that i have many weaknesses. My grammar is no where close to what you would see in the rule books & i tend to wonder in thought & lose focus when i find another point that i want to enter into my writing. To make UTOP or any event successful all you have to do is have a possitive attitude & outlook on whats in front of you & everything will turn out right. 
Right now im just excited about fall semester & being out on my own..lol..because when is that not fun (well unless you got 600 bills..but for now its great!!) A list of good stuff in my life:
*Family *Friends * happiness * & the well being of me & everybody i care for..what more could i ask for. Fear is something i try to embrace i usually dont feel it & im not going to start now over just a new transition..but anxious is excitement for me when i just cant wait to experience something & thats just simply doing me on my own with out rules of my family tuggin on me as much.
I am going to be majoring in Criminal Justice. since i was little i've always wanted to be in law enforcement; from being a sniper to a cop to a lawyer..But now i'm focused on becoming an FBI agent & then maybe coming back for a law degree so i can settle down later in life.
The only question i have is am i going to be able to withstand being in dorms instead of my own comfortable room because i know with all my heart im going to miss the comfort of my home.
Well to remember just know im me & i wont do you wrong or try to bring you down & hope that i leave a lasting & good impression on all of ya'll just as me being me. & you should remember my name because..lol..its not what that needs to be forgotten unless you just absolutely cant stand me.
