community service

My plan is sortha something that already happened. Back in Nov there was a fire in downtown El Dorado, the building that burnt down was my job and my grandma's bussiness. It was a hard time but a bunch of my friends and I clean what we could out in a few hours. it was messy and hard. We had to pack boxes upon boxes of different stuff that we sold. We had fun. By the time we were done we were all dirty and smelled of burnt paper. During the cleaning and packing process we had to take many breaks because of all the ash and dust. Differnet places around the building the ceiling had fallin thru and there were weak spots all over from the water. IT was sad and hard to look around and see a whole years worth of memories be gone just like that. That was my first job and my best friends too. We had alot of bounding at that place. We also spent alot of time with my grandma. It was fun and now means alot to me.that was my community service i did.

Case Study #4

I choose case 4 is because i was a failing student last semester and i understand how hard it is to tell you parents. Brooke was discovering that college wasn't as easy as high school. I should have went to a conciler just like brooke shoud have to see if they could mabye help them and give them some ideas where to look for some help. I would have to point brooke in the direction of the learning lab to get help then mabye even go find a tutor and even ask some of my teachers for a little bit of help.

in class essay

The one that i view differnetly now is how i feel about my family and how much they mean to me. Recently i went to jail. I only have a 21 day sentence and get out almost everyday for class so its not as bad as i thought execpt that i miss my family so much. I knew that my family meant alot to but i didnt really know how much tilll now. I've never been away from m family before. I never went to summer camp or anything like that. I would stay differnet places around town but i always knew they were just a phone call away if i wanted to go home. Now they're still a phone call away but only at certain times and they just can't come pick me up anymore. So my love for them has grown and got a lot stronger because of jail. I would have never thought that going to jail would effect me like this but now i understand what the meaning of family is. Its having people who love and care about you no matter what you put them through. I admit i wasn't the best kid in the world. I put my family thur hell with my drug problems and now i am paying for it but my family is still there. I never realized how much i put them trough til now. I think about all the horrible things I've done since i was 15. I'm glad i always had them to run back to. i really love them nd care about htem som much more than i did before. I guess before i just took them for grant. I hope i never do again.

time management

Time management umm lets see I use to suck at this. I would put off homework till the last few hours till it was due. I did all thru high school till I dropped out. I still did this last semester. So far this semester I’ haven’t had a later assignment besides in this class because I was sick. Now so I don’t forget to do my homework I do most of it when I get home from school. If I don’t do it then I don’t let myself forget. I’m always remind myself that I have a paper due Monday or a test Tuesday or I have to read chapter 2 or something like that. The best strategies that work for me is probably not forgetting about it and to stay on top of things because if you lose track you can get behind. In my spare time since I have a lot of it besides doing homework I mostly stay at home or hangout with friends mainly Talli, my best friend. We watch TV most he time but there are the few occasions were we go out to a party this happens at least once to twice a week mostly on the weekends. I’m trying to find a job but its hard when I don’t want to work in fast food. I wish I had a job then I wouldn’t be bored all the time. When I’m not hanging out with friends I use to play games on my laptop but that was before Talli’s pretty little dog chewed my charger up. So now I read a lot of books when I not studying.

my changes in the last year

I’ve dealt with a lot of changes in the last year. To start it off last April I ended the almost five year relationship with my boyfriend. It was hard to deal with for a both a month. I had to deal with my ex crying almost everyday or if he wasn’t crying he was making me feel like a piece of shit. It was hard then I thought I was over him and tried to move on but I kept comparing every guy next to him. I played with a great guy's emotions because of this. I’ve also had the hardship of going back to school after dropping out. I ended up getting depressed and dropping out fall semester because many things. One of the main things was my first job and my grandma’s business burned down. It was a ruff time for a few months. I spent most of December in my bed blaming all my problems on myself when I knew that wasn’t true or right. I’m still trying to deal with the break up of my boyfriend of four years. We have a better relationship than we had before. I have a problem though I always think he’s going to be there for me. He will when he can but he is trying to move on too and he just can’t drop whatever he’s doing to come help me. Now after a wild and long year I’m at the begging of a new one. This year I’m focusing on my school work and trying to find a job. Maybe I’ll think about a relationship towards the end of the semester but not now.

Academic Plan

wow this is sortha a hard one because my major is undecided.i want to get some sortha degree i just dont know what yet. im taking my math classes and english along with a bunch of different classes at butler to see what i like. Im taking a substance abuse class to see f im interested in going into the feild of conciuling. my first choice was zoology because i want to work with big cats but last semester i took a class that i thought would be fun but it wasn't it was a boilogy class that i thought would be about animal but it wasn't. My teacher even sucked he didn't make any sense most of the time. so i ended up dropping the class then a few weeks later just dropping totally because of family issues. im planning on beging at butler until summer or fall of 08. I'm thinking about trying to be an animal behavioalist. so i could still work with cats. It's alwas been one of my dreams to raise and take care of big cats. I want to work at a big cat santurary in florida. I'm hoping the next few semesters sat butler will help me find what I meant to do with my life. I want it to be something i like so it might be alilttle hard.
