Strengths within myself as a student



So we were asked to post about 3 strengths that we posses as students for our English 115 class, and so as I thought about it, I couldn't think of a single strength that I believed I possessed.

And then...

I started working....

1) Notes

I have a tendency to love how different colors look when I take notes, in other to make them stand out. That is just something I have done for a while, I simply to like to write a note on the side and highlight the note. I don't know if its like an OCD thing or not but it bothers me when the highlighting isn't perfectly highlighted on the note, and so I keep trying to make it perfect, and in the end it turns out to look like a huge yellow mess that just doesn't help at all. So when I write the notes in different colors, I can actually focus on it and I don't even have to stop, I just grab a different pen and keep writing. Which helps, since I am so easily distracted.

2)Visualizing


I tend to learn better when I can visually see something or picture, many students do, its just easier to bring up a memory of you doing something, instead of simply reading it. I think of this as a strength, because I have a very vivid imagination, when I can read something, its like a movie running in my head, I can either visualize someone making the speech or the scene that is going on in the page.




3) I want to be someone when I grown up


This might not seem like a strenght, but I consider it to be one. I actually like to come to school and get some education. While I might not like the homework , I do like learning new things. Many in my family haven't gotten a complete education, if any. So having the ability to be able to get a degree is something I look forward to. Its not something many students have. Many come to school to simply socialize or because they are forced to, not becuse they have the will do do so.

5 Countdown

5 Facts
1. Ive Had about 60 pets in my life, including goats, cats, dogs, fishes, chickens, ducks, snakes, guinea pigs, rats, pigeons, parrots, tucans, guacamayas, lizards and we even a python at one point.

2. I hate mushrooms, olives and nopales. I just hate how slimy and weird they feel, when I find them in my food, I always tend to pick them out 

3. I dont like dolls, when I was little, I had barbies that were given to me, but they always stayed in my closet in a box, they have always freaked me out. I really liked dinosaurs, and I still do, I have one that was given to me as a gift thats made out of seashells.

4. I like to do peoples nails, just painting them, I find that to be very relaxing, to be doing nails or painting something or some kind of craft.

5. One of my biggest fears is flying... but Ive never been on a plane or a helicopter or anything.


4 Bucket list
1. Go skydiving... Which is like wtf because Im scared of flying, how I will do that, I have no idea, but one day I will.

2. Being able to get a shot without having a full blown panic attack. I completely freak the hell out whenever I have to get a shot, I dont know why, I just act like a 5 year old.. Actually Ive seen 5 year olds that act better than me when they have to get a shot.

3. Be able to pet a lion again or a tiger. I really like felines, and once I had the opportunity to pet and carry a small lion when I was smaller and I would like to be able to do that again.

4. Train my cat to walk on a leash. I mean how often do you see that? Ive seen one or 2 people being able to walk their cats, and I just think its pretty funny.

3 Goals
1. Graduate from a university

2. Get a job at a medical office

3. Have a home library. I just really like reading, and to build up a library would be amazing.

2 Moments
1. A moment of frustration was when my grandmother started pestering me about how business wouldnt help me in life (really now?) and she wants me to start studying medicine. Now medicine ive never been a fan of, so now I have to start studying that if I want to stay in college since she is im fact the oke paying for my education. I could do a double mayor but thats only if im able to find a job to pay for the business classes in secret.
2. One day after math, I was so tired my brain was just on buffering mode... Let me explain, so I was walking with my friend and I opened up my snapchat to check a few pictures I had gotten, and as I opened the app I could see through the phone because of the camera... My brain didnt register that properly so I strted freaking out about my phone having a hole... Awkward

1 thing I want people  to know
1. I tend to talk a lot!
