Choosing the wrong

Summary: Joannna a 5^th grader lost her life due to a fight in school over a boy

Refection:

She was just 10 years old. That’s horrible. But whats worse is the reason why she died. She got into a fight with another classmate over a boy. This is wrong in so many ways. No one should solve problems with violence, look where that led them too. Violence is never the answer, especially when its over a boy. No matter the cause, you should never fight. Choose the right and talk things out. Don’t let your anger get the best of you. Choose the right.

Katie Watkins, a standout storm volleyball player for two years, now spends her free time studying to be a nurse at DCCC where she says she applies some of the concepts she learned on the court.

“Just like volleyball, nursing can be tough,” said Watkins, a 21-year-old who works in teams with her classmates in problem-based nursing exercises. “I learned that everyone has different strength and brings something different to the table. I also learned that we have to respect each other.”

 

Watkins is a May 2012 candidate to receive her Associate Degree in Nursing. She hopes to pursue her B.S.N at Winston-Salem State University and eventually get her masters degree in nursing.

Setting educational goals and working hard to achieve them brings a great feeling of accomplishment It builds self-esteem, and increases self-confidence. Education opens up many doors of opportunity that normally would not open up for people.

How to always succeed in school

Part 8

·         Many people avoid making decisions their whole lives, so their decisive faculty of mind, the faculty of discrimination , becomes rusty and dies. Such people become totally dependent on others. When we study the four functions of mind—buddhi, the faculty of decisiveness; ego.  The importer and exporter of sensations and experience—then we become aware of the power of will. Will power is that something within us that comes forward and says, “Do this. It will be helpful for you.” Training the internal functions help us to understand the decisive faculty of the mind, without which we cannot be successful.

·         Watch what you do on a daily basis. We become what do and think about.  If you think about nothing-you will become nothing. If you think about becoming a great student – you will become a great student. If you think about becoming honest-you’ll will be honest. The activities and thoughts that fill your day are keys to living successfully in school and throughout your adult life.

Summary/Reflection Shooting in Phoenix, Arizona

Summary

There was a shooting in Arizona. Fourteen people turned out to be injured in a nightclub. There was hundreds in this club. The police were only able to catch an arrest one of the suspects. The other two suspects were able to get away.

Reflection

I believe this situation has WRONG written all over it. A night club is a very dangerous place to be. Nothing but bad things done there and is bad consequences waiting to happen. I find it sad how over a dozen were victims of this shooting. I am surprised how this horrible shootout didn’t result with any loss. I am glad that most of the injuries were relatively minor.

·        Students know they should learn to decide on time, but they don’t do it. They always say, “Well, I knew it. I understand the key, but I did not act in time.” Though they may think correctly, and accurately understand the situation properly they suddenly lose confidence. This is a world of competition; someone else is always trying to attain the same thing we are. So if we do not decide on time, someone else will attain what we want. Time is valuable in the external world. A tender bamboo can easily bend, but if we try to bend a mature bamboo it will break. That which we have to do today, we should not postpone for tomorrow, but we should also not make decisions in haste. We may have a setback if we make a wrong decision, but our mistakes will teach us.

·        We must learn from the success and mistakes of others.  When we see another student succeeding greatly and honorably, learn how they do it and pattern your studies after theirs. Also, on the other hand, when you see other students failing miserably, learn how they do it and AVOID doing what they do or else you will join them in the failure’s club.

·        Make the most of your time and opportunities while at school. Don’t waste valuable time.
