Cell Phone Etiquette
Cell phone Etiquette Me personally i am a really big CELLPHONE person i love to talk on my cellphone. Even though i have gotten in trouble by alot of people from talking on the phone i still happen to love talking on it. There is sometimes when your not supposed to be on the phone like when your driving and when your at school or work. When you are in these places your cellphone is supposed to be silent so that no one can hear it or better yet know that it is in your presence. But me i figure if its on VIBRATE then you don't have a problem but sometimes vibrate can be louder than you think it is so sometimes i put it on silent and just have a habit of checking it to make sure no one has called or text me and that has gotten me into alot of trouble because sometimes that teachers walk up behind me and see it in my hand and think that i have been using it. But i have learned that you aren't supposed to be on the phone when you are talking to someone or maybe even just sitting in someones house because it can be very rude. I am now getting better at not being on my phone very much so i think that i am slowly progressing even though i forget from time to time to put it on silent.

Thank You Letter
Mrs. Tammie, Thank you for allowing me to come into the Early Learning Center and be able to do what i like to do best TAKE CARE OF BABES. I am glad that you let me come in and share what little experience that I might have from taking care of my younger siblings. Being in the Early Learning Center also prepared for some things in the future like taking care of children isn't always going to be easy especially of you are by yourself, and most definitely when they are sick even sometimes it was hard for us in the daycare and their was 3 or 4 of us but we got it under control. And some of our roughest days were when we had like 3 kids it was so hard. I enjoyed getting to know each and every last one of you. Mrs. Robin and Mrs Janie and all of the kids. The twins Abby And Sophie, Taylor and Brookie, Shaniya, Lupita, Charlie, Angel, Jelissa. I Hope that i can return next time when i have some free time on my hands and spend the day with the little ones. Well I hope to see you all again before I graduate.
Love Miss

Week 6 Time
Well I honestly always arrive to my service learning on time. Because it's just like when I arrive to school. I have to be at the day care center by ten so I really don't have any issues with my time management.
When I become overwhelmed with something I tend to do the most important things first or it may just depend on what I have been putting off the most. Like if I have something at home that I have just been putting off and then a lot of other things happen to come up then I will go back and do what I was supposed to do first and then finish what else needs to be done.

My Service Learning This far:
Wow so lastweek we had a ROOM FULL OF BABIES. it was kind of scary in a way but then again it wasn't as bad i had expected it to be. This just being the fourth week i am enjoying it very much but i didn't think that i wouldn't like it because like i said i like taking care of babies so its really FUN...

Week 3
Task 1:
One of the things that i would like to improve would have to be finishing. I am the type of person who thinks that if they remember something then i will be able to finish it the next day, when i should really just go ahead and finish it. It really doesn't help me with what i need to do especially if i am behind in the class and i am still putting off an assignment saying that i will maybe finish it at home knowing that i won't, or even saying that i will remember it and do it first thing tomorrow. I had even gotten to the point to where i would put assignments off and never even go back and do them, i would more than likely start on something else unless the teacher has reminded me that i still have an assignment that i haven't finish but even once they remind me i still tend to put it off. Why? because i have forgotten the information that i said i was going to remember the next day.
Task 2:
A) Some of the things that i can do to improve my note taking skills is to look over my notes from the previous day because when you start class some teachers find it necessary to ask questions about what they talked about the day before. So if they ask a question i would be prepared. Being prepared is one of the other things that i can improve i am always prepared to take notes but sometime i have to ask others for pen, or paper, so i need to be able to provide my own materials for taking notes so that i won't interrupt a classmate who is taking notes because i am asking for a piece of paper. Be on time sometime the first thing you do in class is take notes and i could be running late to late because either i had car trouble or i am standing in the hall talking with some friends. So I'm late to class and i have missed part of the notes so that means that i have to ask a classmate to let me see there notes and try to catch up. Another one would be to ask questions, i NEVER ask questions when taking notes i always wait until someone else asks a question and then just go from there and sometimes the question that they ask happens not be my question but sometimes it does. And my last one would be checking with other students to see if we have the same thing so that i will be looking over the right thing.
B) I honestly think that i am somewhat a big procrastinator. And why because some of the thing that they listed i have a habit of doing. Except a few i don't put off assignments because i think that i am going to fail them i put them off because i want to do other things besides schoolwork. I do however start an assignment and say that i am going to finish it but never do. I do put off assignments that i don't like i will do anything in my power not to work on something that i have no interest in or maybe it won't be because i have no interest it may be because i am confused and don't want to ask questions about it. And sometime i start an assignment and stop and then start on another one which won't help me in the long run because i need to finish one and then complete the other.
My Service Learning This far:
Well much really hasn't changed beside that we have gottne more kids and sometime between now and next week we will be dealing with just infants and toddlers will be across the hall. i think i am really going to enjoy that.

Wk One
Task One:
#2: I feel that i need to make an improvement on my study skills. I have the habit of listening in class, but when i come to class the next day i just go blank and i don't have any notes to look over when the teacher asks me to tell them about something that we talked about in class the other day. So how i am going to improve myself is by taking notes in class, but not even just take notes. I'm going to study my notes because one day they may ask us and tell us not to look at our notes. And if i am not understanding what the teacher is explaining then i am going to ask for some extra help on the side, and stop being shy about asking for help. Like in Mr.Siegmund's class i had a project that i had to do and he told me that i was should stay and finish it at lunch but i didn't want to and he told me that if i didn't finish it then he wasn't going to help me the next day. So i left class anyway thinking that i was going to remember what i had to do. I went to class the next day and had forgot everything that i was going to put on my project. And that's when i figured that i was going to write down what i had learned so i could have it when i need it.
Task Two:
I think that you should add, Be Yourself- Meaning that you should follow your own footsteps not the people that you hang with, because they might be headed down the wrong road and its not the road that you want to go on.
i think that another one would have to be that you stay out of DRAMA- That is something that will get you no where. That is the main thing that holds a person down because they happen to be more occupied with something besides the right thing. Graduation is around the corner, you have passed your graduation test now you just trying to get through this math class that you hate and then someone comes with drama and takes away all of your concentration. Now your doomed.
