Famous Last Words; Finally Done

Well, this will be my last blog post in this class and maybe ever. I am finally done and I did it with 45 minutes to spare. This class was difficult for me because I was very busy with all the other classes I was taking and also some personal stuff going on. There was a lot of writing and I think that I got better as the class went on. This class also gave a lot of tools to use and tips like time management and other things that I can still look back on and remember as I start this next chapter in my life. I had never even thought about mythology and folklore before and now I have learned something new that I can use. Its never a waste when you gain knowledge about a subject. I was hesitant to take this class when I started because honestly it was just something that I was not interested in. But I wanted to challenge myself by going out of my comfort zone and proving to myself that I could learn something I wasnt particularly found of in the beginning. But I have a new found respect for this course and the subject. There are so many interesting stories and a lot that I had never even heard of before. I tried to be as creative as possible and actually really enjoyed going back and reading my writing. When I write I feel I am not doing as well but when I go back and read I actually think that I am pretty good. There are still some things I need to work on but blogging could be in my future if I find a subject I am super passionate about. Who knows maybe I will help someone out someday with my words. That would make me happy. Anyways, I really did enjoy this at the end of the day and would recommend this to a friend that wants to be better at writing.

What a class! link

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

Reading Notes, English tales: Three Little Pigs

The three little pigs is one of the most famous tales I want to keep the beginning of the story the same " ill huff and ill puff and ill blow your house down" After the wolf gets to the third house I can change the story around the wolf gets tricked every time and I could change that around to where the wolf was doing so on purpose The wolf talks about different ways to get the last pig out. I could change the way he tries to get him out of the house. Maybe even spy on the pig to devise a plan.  I don't want to take away from the original story but I feel like I could have some better ideas to make it more interesting.  Joseph Jacobs, Three Little Pigs; Link to reading The Wolf
