Senior Finale

There isn’t very much advice to give except to be willing to talk about your personal goals. It seems like this class is something that brings out the things you haven’t been able to reach for. This class is a great way to vent and even seek advice. The blog post that was my favorite was the Riff On Opening Lines because it brought out my inner child. I never knew my imagination could stretch that far to create such a great child’s story. The one most valuable thing that I’ve learned from this class would have to be learning to love the internet. This class is all online and if you don’t have the slightest idea how the internet works you’re in for a great surprise.

Epilogue

During this class I have learned many things that I was not aware of before. This class really had me look deep within what I am as a person and also helped bring back old memories. An average person is always looking for new things to help better their lives and themselves as a person and there could be a list that goes on and on but the main thing I would want to work on the most would have to be my attitude towards people. I don’t have an attitude per say I just get so stressed out and let all my emotions bottle up inside to where I’m real short with people and I don’t want to put up with anyone or anything.  To be honest this assignment hasn't really helped me on my writing, it has just gotten me to write more and dig for better details to finish an assignment. It seems that all this class is therapy in a blog. Some of these assignments have been a little hard to endure because the blogs that we post are a little repetitive. Although, this class has helped me think more in depth of what my future plans and goals are going to be and where my life stands today. I had a strange childhood and growing up I have learned to block out my memories because there seemed to be nothing but bad to remember and these assignments have helped recover those memories that I have forgotten and let me share them with people so they can understand why I am the person I am today.

Impatient: Going through this assignment I've noticed that there are many times that I have mentioned how I have a short temper and I think this best describes me because I do have a small tolerance for irritating people but what irritates me doesn't usually affect an average person.

Extrovert: I can get along with just about anyone. I have never really been one to be in a said “clique” I have always been friends with everyone but there is always that time when I let my emotions get ahead of me and it can push people away but in the end if they were to be my true friends then they would understand and stick around and except for the apology that follows.

Caring: I have always been one to care more about another person and their needs then for myself .I care more about making another person happy even if it does not make me feel good at all. I have been treated so poorly several times throughout my life that I want the best for other people. It takes me a little to warm up so someone but once I do I’ll become a better friend then you could ever think of becoming for me. Not a day goes by that I am not used for someone’s own benefit but as long as they’re happy, I’m happy. 

Valuable Lessons

1.       Be careful with who you trust:

a.       Your friends are not always who you think they are they can be more of an enemy than a friend.

2.       Always drive behind the car speeding ahead of you:

a.       If you are in a hurry and you’re speeding down the road always drive be hind the car that is speeding as well because that car will be the first one on the police radar and that car will get pulled over and you get to drive on without a ticket.

3.       Always use Google maps for your GPS on your phone.

a.       I took a three hour drive to go to Iola Kansas for the first time by myself and never being out that way before I used my GPS on my phone. Well turns out that GPS wasn’t accurate so I missed my exit 3 times on the way up there and twice on my way back. I did so many illegal U-turns it on the highway it wasn’t even funny. Always, always have a good GPS system.

4.       Don’t be the “middle-man”:

a.       My parents have been divorced since I was six and I was always the “middle-man” for all my step siblings and that caused me a lot of stress keeping up with everyones secrets.

5.       Don’t pick sides, stick with your own opinion.

a.       Having a split family was hard because  my parents always wanted me to pick sides between them and they both had their own good points they were also wrong with some of their other opinions so I just learned to stick with my own and do what I thought was right and through the years now, I’ve realized that neither side was the right way to go.

6.       Not all advice is the best advice.

a.       Referring back to dumber 4 and always being the “middle-man” I was always asked for advice from my older and younger siblings. I would always try to give them my most honest and heartfelt advice to help them out but when the shoe was on the other foot I would usually end up getting into a lot of trouble.

7.       Always watch the side roads while driving:

a.       Even though you might be driving in the city or through town Mother Nature will always find a way to surprise you. Drive through Joplin from work a deer ran out of nowhere and just about hit my car. Now I always make sure I pay attention to ALL sides of the road.

8.       Don’t wait until the last minute:

a.       I have found that when I wait until the last minute to do things they usually get done really good but it is always such a huge amount of stress on me and that’s why I always try to get things done in a timely matter that way it gets done completely right and I don’t have to stress over it.

9.       Check the weather before you was your car:

a.       I live on two dirt roads so it’s hard to keep my white car clean from mud, dirt, and bugs but when I do end up cleaning my car I put a lot of time and effort into it. We’re talking the whole nine yards with hand washing it and polishing the wheels and waxing it down, everything. And then with just my luck, it always seems to rain the next day.

10.   Drive partially slow on back roads:

a.       I love driving down back roads because it gets out of traffic but it never fails that you seem to find the biggest pothole there is and blow a tire out..
