There are so many reasons why we should embrace adventure in our everyday lives. First of all, we are all stuck in our safety bubble that we rarely try to experience anything new. It's very easy to get stuck in our safe routine and sometimes we forget to live. Stress, laziness, and lack of passion can be a challenge that gets in the way of being adventurous. You have to throw yourself out there and stop making excuses of why you can’t do something]]> 2018-01-12 16:54:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ortiz_marissa_2018/wuxqvswpog45/wish/221044186 ortiz_marissa_2018 https://padlet.com/ortiz_marissa_2018/wuxqvswpog45/wish/222129244 Last year I would always wait last minute to do my work. Waiting last minute to do stuff would cause me to stress about not finishing on time which leads me to turning in a late assignment or a poorly done project. I want to be more productive and get my assignments done when they are first assigned to me. This will help me get my assignments turned in on time and keep my grade high. ]]> 2018-01-17 16:37:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ortiz_marissa_2018/wuxqvswpog45/wish/222129244 ortiz_marissa_2018 https://padlet.com/ortiz_marissa_2018/wuxqvswpog45/wish/222147556 2018-01-17 17:16:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ortiz_marissa_2018/wuxqvswpog45/wish/222147556 ortiz_marissa_2018 https://padlet.com/ortiz_marissa_2018/wuxqvswpog45/wish/222262699 I spend a lot of time on my phone and not being aware of my surroundings. I miss so many things going on around me because i'm always looking down at my phone. spending less time on my phone will help me interact better with people and improve my people skills. A challenge I would face is that I'm used to being on my phone all the time, but I can leave it at home or turn it off so i get used to being without out.]]> 2018-01-17 22:56:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ortiz_marissa_2018/wuxqvswpog45/wish/222262699 ortiz_marissa_2018 https://padlet.com/ortiz_marissa_2018/wuxqvswpog45/wish/222276152  I dealt with paralyzing fear whenever I was forced to speak in front of a group. Now, that didn't just mean major presentations or speaking in front of an auditorium full of people. It also extended to relatively simple tasks such as raising my hand to ask or answer a question in class. I need to be able to gain confidence in myself to get over this fear so it won’t affect my future in college and my future career. A challenge I will have is actually going up in front of a group of people and speaking. This challenge can be overcome by practicing speaking in front of a small group of about three people, then moving to bigger groups when it becomes easier.]]> 2018-01-18 01:07:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ortiz_marissa_2018/wuxqvswpog45/wish/222276152 ortiz_marissa_2018 https://padlet.com/ortiz_marissa_2018/wuxqvswpog45/wish/222303145 From childhood, I was taught the art of “people pleasing”, of saying yes, even if I mean no, holding back from saying anything that might offend and toning down my thought in case it might come across as being considerate or arrogant. I have to learn that I cannot please everyone and say what is on my mind. Although it’s can be intimidating at times, becoming more assertive in discussions can change my life. It will elevate my confidence, make me more resolute in my beliefs and cause people to take note when I open my mouth. A challenge about speaking your mind is you can become frustrated when talking about something you are passionate about and that can make it hard to get your point across. To overcome this I must stay relaxed, control my words, use an assertive tone, and be confident so I can conduct the conversation.]]> 2018-01-18 05:47:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ortiz_marissa_2018/wuxqvswpog45/wish/222303145
