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: The Gold Giving Serpent

The story I have chosen for this week is The Gold Giving Serpent by Joseph Jacobs The poor farmer and the serpent are the main characters of the story I especially liked the serpent, he was clever and also was not to be messed with He taught the farmer a lesson about greed The farmer tried to betray the hand that fed him I could change the story to were the serpent was immortal and played dead and began to seek revenge on the farmer I could change it to a huge battle of the boy and the serpent for all the gold The snake lets the man be free after killing his son, I could re write that and have the snake take revenge on the farmer and kill him as well.  Photo from Wikimedia

Week 5 Story: The Tale of Johnny Gloke

Check out the stroy on my portfolio Here! Johnny Gloke was a farmer by trade, but, like a man of spirit, he grew tired of his trade and wished to follow a path that would lead to honor and fame. So for a time he was much fonder of sitting around thinking of what he could do rather than tending the crop. One day Johnny Gloke was walking around his farm trying to find something to do. He was in the barn and came across a leather football. He walked outside and saw a beehive hanging from a tree about 40 yards away. He wound up and three the football and stuck the beehive right in the middle and knocked it down. He was overjoyed at his success and his heart rose to the doing of the great deed. He now knew what his path would be to fortune and honor. So he set out to find the best college football program to go play for. He grabbed his football and headed for college. He came across a college, The University of Oklahoma. Oklahoma needed a quarterback and Johnny Glock knew he was th...
