My name is Shekinah Belson and I am one of the traditional students of Sinclair community college. 
I am 21 years old and I have lived in Ohio four about four years now.

]]> 2016-12-05 01:52:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kinahj1/ov29santh8bd/wish/141641777 what I am majoring in kinahj1 https://padlet.com/kinahj1/ov29santh8bd/wish/141641827 I enrolled in Sinclair college a few months ago and my major I chose is creative writing.
  •  The reason why I choose this major  is that I have plans of  becoming a writer after I graduate.
  • I thought that if I could participate in this major , I would find the creativity , confidence, and  skills that would help me write novels without feeling confused or unable to think of anything.

  • The first area that has improved was how I have been studying with my notes. 
  •  During my first days of this course, my study notes had a high school notes type of quality. 
  • My notes didn’t clarify on important topics since I've crammed in so many details in my  study journals. 
  •  Because of the untidiness of my study notes, it  took practically hours just to understand  what my college lessons were about.
  •  During the courseI, I've learned more about different note-taking methods from my textbook.
  • My study notes soon  became  a lot  less cluttered  and easier to understand. 

    • ]]>     2016-12-05 01:54:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kinahj1/ov29santh8bd/wish/141641872     Mastered Areas kinahj1 https://padlet.com/kinahj1/ov29santh8bd/wish/141642286
  • The second area that I have improved were my tests. 
  • When first worked on my tests at my first weeks in this course ,  some of the tests landed somewhere between seven out of ten  points which is somewhere on the lines of a b in college classes. 
  • The reason why I have such low points, what that i was disorganized on my note taking and I that haven't studied enough for some of the topics to settle in my mind.
  • During this course, I used better-studying methods on my notes and the amount of time I've been  studying. 
  • Soon most of my tests were most nine out of 10 or even higher. 
    • ]]>     2016-12-05 01:59:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kinahj1/ov29santh8bd/wish/141642286     Mastered Areas kinahj1 https://padlet.com/kinahj1/ov29santh8bd/wish/141642310
  • The third area that I've mastered is Self-confidence.
  • I used to think that I couldn't handle the stress and difficulty that comes with college life.
  • Because of this, I sometimes felt myself lacking motivation and energy while doing some of my work.
  •  As time went on during this course, I learned more about how self-esteem plays a major role in college life, and that to succeed , you have to have more faith in yourself.
  • During my time in this course, I soon discovered successful tips needed to navigate my way in online college like note-taking, locating college resources, and Test-taking) 
  • Soon, I begin to feel more confident, and as a result, I became more focused and dedicated on my assignments.

  • The first area that I need to work on is my writing skills.
  • I am mostly a passionate reader and writer, but some of the time I struggle at on writing assignments.
  • Either my mind is blank on what to write about or I can’t find the right words to use on the writing assignments.
  • I need to focus more on  creative thinking  because if you want to become a writer you need to have ideas that get readers more interested in your stories, and I need to work on paragraph organization ,so some of my essays or novels would work more smoothly.
  • The  first resource that would help me be the writing center, since  here are professional tutors would help me learn how to write a better essay. The second resources the library , since there are a plethora of books about how to become a better writer.

    • ]]>     2016-12-05 02:00:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kinahj1/ov29santh8bd/wish/141642345     Weak Areas kinahj1 https://padlet.com/kinahj1/ov29santh8bd/wish/141642383
  • The second thing that I need to work on is listening skills.
  • My learning type is Multi- model, which means have a different set of learning styles.
  • While I am a have a very strong set of reading/writing skills, my weakest point of learning is listening skills.
  • The reason is that I sometimes and that I usually get distracted by everything that is around me or that I become bored easily.
  • As a result, I sometimes forget the most important facts within a lecture or a discussion.
  • I know that I need to be more attentive on what people are discussing about and put my thought away until after the talk is over.
  • The resources that would probably help me is the disability service because they have audio headphones so that I could home in on the class lectures .
  •  The library will also help me with my listening skills by the podcasts and recordings in the college computer.

  • The first thing that will benefit me later is how to communicate with your roommate.  
  • When having a talking  to your roommate or  someone about a problem,  never make it like it is their fault, ex. Why don’t you be more tidy!
  • instead tell them about what you feel about this problem  as in “ It makes it difficult for me to focus when the room is unorganized”
  • I think that taking thought problems will not only work for roommates, but it could also  for co-workers if you happen to work with groups.
  • It would not only make your message clear to your co-worker, but it would create less frustration or con fusion why you're working in a team assignment.

    • ]]>     2016-12-05 02:02:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kinahj1/ov29santh8bd/wish/141642439     helpful lessons for the future kinahj1 https://padlet.com/kinahj1/ov29santh8bd/wish/141642471
  • The second helpful lesson that could help me in the future is to Balancing your budget.
  • In order to balance your budget by spending less on stuff that you “want” and focus mostly on the stuff that you actually need.
  • The less you spend on frivolous stuff, like a pair of designer shoes or a big deep dish pizza, the more you'll save money on stuff that is necessary to live on during college life, Like books or even some healthy food options like a salad.
  • This also applies if you are living on your own; you would need to have enough money to pay things such as the electric bill, your car repairs or even housing rent!

    • ]]>     2016-12-05 02:02:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kinahj1/ov29santh8bd/wish/141642471     helpful lessons for the future kinahj1 https://padlet.com/kinahj1/ov29santh8bd/wish/141642490
  • The third lesson that would help in the long run is to calm yourself down while doing a huge task.
  •  While you are working on a test or other similar assignment, Take deep calming breaths and don’t focus on the negative thinking that would hinder your focus, and instead think motivating  and or/ relaxing thoughts.
  • The reason why this is beneficial is because when you are working a company or even  a career , you will still face  stressful and demanding situations ,such as a work assignment that is due be three days from now.
  • The best way to face theses kinds of problems is to have a sound mind about them and not let the stress get to you.

  • The fourth lesson that could benefit me later is how you prepare for an interview.
  • People who are hiring would like to see confident people who know what they are doing, as this could make a good impression on their company.
  • That is why you need to make sure you practice your answer before the day of the interview so you could remember it and gain new-found confidence as well.

    •   I think that this sequence will not only benefit you during an interview, but it will help you even after you get the job.
    • If you practice the words of  your presentation or your ideas before a work  discussion, it will make you a lot confident  and respectable in the eyes of your bosses or co-workers

    ]]>     2016-12-05 02:03:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kinahj1/ov29santh8bd/wish/141642501     helpful lessons for the future kinahj1 https://padlet.com/kinahj1/ov29santh8bd/wish/141642517
  • The final lesson that will help me in the future is to do relaxing activities before you get to sleep.
  • To make sure you get a good night’s rest, don’t try and watch tv or surf the net as it only simulates your brain and make it difficult to sleep. Instead, try reading a book or doing a crossword puzzle,or any relaxing activity.
  • The reason is that not only do you need to a hearty dose sleep during your college years you would need to sleep in work days as well.
  • It is a simple fact that the more hours that you sleep, the more work you'll produce on your job.

  • The third and biggest, area that I need to work on is to stop Procrastination.
  • When there is an assignment introduced in the beginning of the week, I sometimes think to myself that I would get it done some other time.
  • Soon I wait until it is almost Thursday or Friday to finish up my work or studies before it gets due. 
  • Sometimes I might even get distracted while working on my assignments
  • I noticed that I have been doing this frequently and that this habit could seriously mess up the quality of my assignments if I put them off  for too long. 
  • It could even make the assignment overdue.
  • I know that I need to have motivation  and self-control in order focus on what I need to do in order to succeed in a course.
  • Also, that I need to stop letting distractions such as technology hinder me from my work.
  •  Counseling service will help stop  procrastination they give me advice that will help me to be motivated enough to stop my habits.
  •  he library will give me a distraction- free place to work on my assignments.

  • When it comes to books , I was always a dedicated reader.
  • I usually have a large stack of books after I visit the library, and just lay in my bed while I read every genre from Poetry to cookbooks.
  • My love for books is why I wanted to become a writer in the first place. 
  • The reason why I decided to become a writer is that I firmly believe that books can give people the lessons needed in life .
  •  I always get passionate when it comes to English because of its the power to educate ,empower, and inspire others.

  •  I like to go sightseeing when I have the time. 
  •  It gives me something to do besides staying and watching Netflix or anything trivial.
  • It lets me appreciate the wonders the world has to offer and it makes me feel so uplifted and free.
  • My favorite places to go are museums, festivals, parks, and libraries.
