Week 8 Reading and Writing

The reading and writing so far for me has been interesting. I fell behind a bit so I am having to catch up but I will get there. I have enjoyed reading these stories and most of the stuff I have never even heard of before. I believe I have been more creative in my writing and it has actually been fun to make up my own stories.

I chose this image of the lion because it is my favorite animal. It was relevant to my story of Androcles as well!

Looking forward I need to be more organized in class and try and manage my time better to do the writing and reading.

Growth Mindset: My job as a growth mindset place

I have a part time job at a store in Del City called Gregorys sporting goods. I sell team uniforms and various things to customers and have been doing so for about two and half years while I have been in college. I work part time along with school. There is a lot of talking to do and selling and I have used those skills to be successful at what I do. I have been searching for a career and finally found one upon graduation and going through interviews you have to sell yourself. I believe my job at gregorys has provided with mindset that I will succeed in my career. I loved to learn and grow and this part time job has lead me to learn patience and organization. I am going to be sad leaving but I am so excited to start my new career. Gregorys Logo

Cannabis Smoking; Link I chose the cannabis smoking link because I figured it would lead me down a complete different road from where I began. The cannabis smoking article got to the different ways to ingest cannabis and that is when I came across "Place under the tongue". Sublingual Administration; Link I chose this subject because I wanted to get even deeper into how strange I could end up from the original search. Reading through this article obviously lead me to the different drugs that are taken by placing them underneath the tongue. That is when I came across "LSD". Lysergic Acid Diethylamide; Link I chose LSD because I knew that this is where I would of ended and to...

Wikipedia Trail; From Vishnu to Slang

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vishnu I got to vishnu through the class twitter page. I have always wondered about vishnu and for some reason this weekend it got brought up. So when I saw it, it caught my eye. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoga When I was reading through Vishnu on wikipedia it began to talk about the different positions the statues of Vishnu come in. One of them was a yoga sitting pose. Hinduism and these gods have a lot to do with yoga and yoga is important in many religions in the middle east and asia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatwa As I was reading about Yoga and religions I came across the muslim religion where they issued a Fatwa for any muslims trying to practice yoga. I had never heard of a fatwa before I started watching "Curb your Enthusiam" where this season there was a Fatwa against Larry David. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slang Fatwa can be used as slang and that is how Curb your Enthusiasm used it in there se...
