Keep it real with me or carry on

I may get hurt by being told the truth, but I rather that than to be comforted by a lie. Understand that some people tell you what you want to hear not wanting to hurt your feelings, but deep down inside they know you're about to fall. the person who truly cares for you will tell you what you need to hear, because they want the best for you whether you like it or not. They rather you get mad now and appreciate their honesty later than to see you about to fall in a hole and let you. These are the kind of friends I want to have.

The truth

Don't be Naive. . . Some people will remember you only when they need you. Not every person you talk to is your FRIEND. Some people will act as if they care, but you would be surprise to hear the things that they say behind your back. Don't expect more than someone is willing to give you, because that will only lead disappointments. Guard your heart, keep your circle small, watch what you tell people, and some things ALWAYS stay personal. You may not like it, but this is life and you can always learn the hard way.

What's on my mind.....

Everyone hate the sight of a caterpillar crawling on the floor, but enjoy seeing the sight of that same caterpillar as a beautiful butterfly. So it's okay if you are not there yet. You may be shoved to the side and forgotten but, I promise you just when the caterpillar thought its life was over it became a  beautiful butterfly. Through adversity you learn who you truly are, what you are capable of and the strength that you never thought you had. Are you able to stay positive in the midst of it all? Only strong minds can. What I'm trying to say is that your time will come, just be patient and wait for your turn :)

Take a little, Give a little :)

Take the time to think
For it is the source of power
Take the time to play
For it is the secret of perpetual youth
Take the time to READ

For it is the fountain of wisdom
Take the time to play
For it is the greatest power on earth
Take the time to love and be loved
For it is a God-given privilege
Take the time to be friendly
For it is the road to happiness
Take the time to laugh
For it is the music of the soul
Take the time to give
For it is too short a day to be selfish
Take the time to work
For it is the price of success
Take the time to save
For it is the foundation of your future

food for thought...

Before you feel like you should have a say in someone else life, ask yourself these questions. Are you paying their bills? Are you there whenever they need you? Did they even ask you for any advice? Well if the answer is no then you really don't have a say in their life now do you. This world is upside down. What used to be wrong is now the norm. People stop following God, but follow each other. Every day you hear some disturbing news. But it shouldn't be a surprise. This is just the beginning of the end.

Doc 2 topic

As I'm in the process of this assignment I notice that the topic is quite interesting and think that my classmates are going to enjoy it as well also. The assignment will allow us to provide peer feedback to each other and respond to feedback we receive and this'll show the professor of how much we've learned in this class. With flipped classrooms, the challenges become and this encourages a dialogue on student work and focuses on the process. It is also ensures that we receive feedback regularly. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to provide ongoing feedback.

professional blogger handles purpose & voice

Purpose is the reason for writing, focusing on your purpose as you begin writing helps you know what form to choose, how to focus and organize your writing and what kinds of evidence to cite. Who says that professional blogging is tough? It is not at all hard to become a blogger, but there is a simple catch. You must dedicate yourself completely to become one, then you won't face any hurdles between you and your blogging success. You have to test yourself in the world of blogging to see whether it has something for you or not. That's my advice.

Writer's Voice

What is it to me? To me, your writer's voice is the expression of you on the page. Your voice is all about honesty. It's the unique of your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, fears, and attitudes coming through every word you write. you are unique. You aren’t exactly like anyone else. I think it’s because most of us spend our lives presenting to the world anything and everything except who we really are. We present images of who we want to be. We show the world what we want them to see. We expend lots of energy upholding our facades, and in the process, we can lose touch with our true, unique selves. Many of us are afraid of real, total, gut wrenching honesty. I also think one of our biggest problems is that we’ve been media consumers since the day we were born. So how do you find your voice? You can’t learn it, you can’t copy it. Voice isn’t a matter of studying. You have to find it and the only place to find it is within you.

"My favorite quote"

"You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind." - Joyce Meyer

This is one of my favorite quotes and here's why. . .

I love this quote, because it means something to me; it means what you think, you become. If you focus on negative things, you are more likely to have a negative life. If on the other hand, you choose to focus on positive things your life can become positive. For example: what if you tried something new, and replaced negative words with positive words? How long would it take for you to create a habit of positive self-talk? Not as long as you might think. It does not take years of practice. If you are ready to change your mindset and focus on positivity and goals, rather than negativity, then go for it. It does not cost a thing to gain self-confidence and to build a positive life. You can do this, but only if you believe it. Change how you think. Change your reality.

"Writing in a group"

I do not like writing in groups..... Here's why: don’t get me wrong, I’ve been in some wonderful groups with fabulous people, who are brilliant, not to mention of fun to hang out with. Frankly, I don’t think you could find better groups. Yet I did not enjoy them, It turns out that sitting in a room with a bunch of people taking turns to tell me what they do and don’t like about what I’ve written is my idea of hell. I hated it for several reasons, but I have seen it happen in very well-balanced groups as well. I do not find it healthy or helpful. I get to the point where I understand what they’re saying much quicker when the comments are written rather than verbal. It’s less intense and less confronting.

The flipped classroom technique

"In a flipped classroom" to build that knowledge, students are given a "coverage assignment such as going through a reading, watching a video or another activity and is to develop a formative assessment, consisting of two conceptual questions and one feedback question. A good conceptual question directs us to the kind of thinking you want us to be doing. Us students should not be able to answer conceptual questions if we haven't done the assignment. These questions typically aren't a matter of memorization; they require more analytical thought.
