Journal #4

before i took this class my reading skills were not high. i had to struggle with things and after a few months of reading the text book and listening to the teacher i learned everything i always wanted to.
the problem i struggled the most was, i could not understand the whole topic and the issue on the essay.
i had the most succes in my criminal justice class. that was my major and i really liked it. i read everything i could and repeat them to myself for more than five times.
The SQ3R helped me a lot with classes such as English and CJ(criminal justice). those classes required students to write and read so much and since i was already skilled at those stuff, they were really easy on me,
i will try my best and pay attention.

Blog #25/26

i had succes since the first day i started to read the text book! because they are helpful and very nice and professional.
i had trouble to understand the right way to do things and actually th problem was solved because i asked other people and asked their opinion as well, so i understood.
they were helpful. because you moved on smooth and step by step. no rushing. and we had a summary as well. so it made it easier.
if i continue to read and study like that, i will have a better situation in school. most things will be easier and i dont have to struggle with anything anymore. at least in most senarios.

2.body
sometimes it was very hard for me to understand all of the materials at the same time so i started to use another kind of reading and studying and that way i was hopeful to learn and study better.
the way of studying in high school is not going to work once we enter to the college. because we do have so many materials and we cannot remember all of them. thats why we usually summerize them or ask the teacher about them.

3.conclusion
At the end i realized using the right technic takes so many hourse and practice. but once you are used to it, you will have success.you cannot do it all at once. you need to break them down in parts. but how do you know when you are actually succesful. that is why you need to test yourself. how? simply write a question and try to answer it. if you can not do it, you need to find the answer by simply going over the book and see it! it is that simple. you will have success.

when i was younger and back in high school i used to read with my own style and no teacher told me about the true way of reading. i only read the materials and thought that was it. but now we know it will not work out with the college materials. because they are so much more and it is impossible to learn all that stuff just like it is written in the book. so we use different kind of technics in order to memorize those stuff. usually back in high school, we only go over the book and that was pretty much it. but in college we cannot do that. it takes so much more time and it will be also harder if we want to learn like that. we need to be prepare for the test and see a big picture of the topic. we need to understand if the materials are making sense. and after that we come up with our own ideas and words which will make the essay look better and longer. we call this 5Ps.

Draft #3

Learning is one of the things that most people have struggle with, and it is because they do not know the right way to learn. Now here’s a question. How do we really learn? The answer is pretty clear. By reviewing the topic a few times. But it’s not only that. Some people prefer to study at the night right before the test and sadly they’re having so much stress and that can end them up with failure. Because there are some mechanisms in our brain and by stress we might forget most things. This is very true because it happened to me before and I forgot all the materials on the test. But let’s say we are about to have an important test in a few days and we have no clue how to study in the right way.
First relax and Take a quick nap or have a snack. Briefly exercise to increase circulation. This can help a lot. Because your brain is just relaxed. second,Use descriptive words to trigger a concept. Use brief, concise phrases that are easy to memorize. Select specific examples. Leave spaces between concepts. An uncluttered page is easier to memorize.third, Use a circle, highlighter or star. Mark important information that is difficult to remember. Create comparison charts or graphs. Use abbreviations, such as VC to remember "vertebral column." Use mnemonics, such as "Do It now or later" to remember "Differences in Numbers or Latitude”. Rewrite and organize your notes. Group similar concepts together. Read notes out loud because it’s very important. It is helpful. Tape record a lecture and listen to it later. Incorporate what you've learned into your everyday life. Tell others what you are learning. Arrange time in your schedule to review up to ten times. Take frequent, small breaks to give your brain time to absorb. Use a pencil to easily erase. Cross out information, and then rewrite your notes at a later time.

Danielle sievert was a nice lady who came up with a good idea of providing  health care as an industrial-organizitional pychologists hold master's degree in pychology.
i think what Ms sievert did was a nice caring thing. everyone shall do whatever she did for her people. also this was a great career for her too.
anna sui was a professional fashion designer. she did whatever she could to come up with great things and designs and also she wanted success in her life.
i think she had a goal in her life and that was to become a fashion designer. sometimes its not easy to follow our dreams. but she did it.

 summarize in your own words.
edit and revise your notes.
create sample test
Use visual cues
Review your notes
monitor and evaluate
  The main point of each chapter is because it wants you to keep everything organized and that way it will be easier for you to read and study them.
   i believe my note taking is very well and i always prefer to use cornell notes because it helps me a lot.
   before starting to do cornell notes i used to take regular notes but after i found out there is a better way to take notes i realized that was a very good idea to change and start a better way of taking notes.

every single class has its own problems and in this class learning the right stuff was a little hard. we always need to focus on what we want and sometimes others can interupt us. but with with your fully attention you might be able to get your stuff done.
We need to what is the best type of reading and writing. and if we know those we can do way better.
i really like the cornell notes because its very easy and we can figure out everything from the notes we are taking.

          We all have different passions in our lives and we like to discover about more things every day. But there is only one thing that we are truly love to work on and that is your favorite major, the one that you really love with passion. For example my passion is to discover more about the world of criminal justice and discover what is going on, on the other side of the scene. i like to go to school and study more about what i like every day and every hour. Because i love it and i am skilled in that topic. I try to my best but sometimes it is way too hard to study all of the materials because they do not make sense to me that much.
 I am busy most the time working as a cashier and on the other side I am trying to go to school to achieve success in my life. My personality is great and it is filled with experience, because I have been through a lot of things and at the end I grew up and decided to what I can do the best. For someone like me, I think career matters a lot. Because I want a good life and I want to have a goal in my life. When I am in school, I listen to my professors and teachers and take notes. They are very important to me. Because I know that is the key to success.
Working hard and focusing on what you think its best, is perfect.  I have financial problems and it bugs me very much. Thankfully I am able to apply for  financial aid and get money but sadly college always tries to make you give up on that and they make you to wait and that really makes me upset at some point. But that doesn’t change my goal. Because I would do anything to achieve success in my life and that is what most people like to do. Carol Shelby says “I am not an engineer, I am imaginer.” Which means he doesn’t care what he builds, but all he wants is more power and that’s the goal. I have the same personality as carol Shelby. I am not going to give up, because I am following my dream.

          My weakness is being scared of failing my classes, becasue i am taking 16 units and it is hard. but the thing is i am always ready to study for my major.
          i like to study and search about criminal justice because that class is my major and i like to know about it. CJ was always a passion for me and i love to study that major alot! i want to become a police officer or a lawyer. i have not decided which one shall i pick because i need to get older and i am still too young to decide what i want. one of them is easy and the other one is easier to study and requires so many physical actions.
          i would love to study criminal justice becasue it is related to what i am doing in future. i would definetely go for criminal justice because i understand that class and i actually love to be in the class and listen.
          At solano i would like to take criminal justice classes and there are 35 units and 6 or i think7 classes. by the time i would like to take all of those calsses. it is very important to me to take those calsses.because i believe my education and major is my future.

         After i read an article by Randall S.Hansen i realized his thought are really helpful and i am agree with it as well. People have different skills and different careers. but the thing is you have to be ready for it and at some point you have to start. you need to pay attention and have no fears. We all know it is hard but having a great education and paying attention is the key to success. we need to know that might even change our major as well. your major is very important and basically it relates to out future career most the time, and it really matters alot for the student. Also you need to know that if you are really interested in what you are doing and what you really like. you need to know yourself and see if you can handle all the situation and also know what you are weak in, that way you can stay away from the. it is really easy for most people to know what they really like to do in their everyday lives. for someone like me who loves cars and speed, i realized i can become a highway patrol or a lawyer because i like law. also you need to see if you are working with people or not, and in most careers we actually connect with others.you want to see where is the place for you to study that particular major. some prefer to move out from their parents and study around some other place. for example my cousin moved out 50 miles away and now lives with his friends. you need to know if you are still interested in whatever you like in your major. pay attention to the values.

          -i think having a good calendar is one of the best things for every single person. it is such a great invention and we can use that advantage to make our life easy as much as possible. i use that everyday because that way i can see what and when and why i am doing that particular thing. for example school at 7AM and buy lunch at night or go to gym on wednesday is a very good example.
         -i think since i work alot i usually go to bed earlier than the most people. working all the time plus going to school everyday makes me very tired and also i have homewrok.
         -since i had a calendar i made some time for myself to rest and do my stuff on time and it is actually pretty helpful.
          -i dont like to do something other than what my plans says to me. becasue once i do that i will get used to it and i will always do that and wont be able to do my stuff.

final drafting

          Finally i know alot of things about a woman who did her best for one word and that was success! lotzi knew life could not just be comfortable. so she started to attend college. If i could give an advice to lotzi before her success i would say this: hey linda! i know you are in so much presure and pain, and that happend to me too. my family were poor and we started to do the things that we thought they were essential, we worked alot and spent hourse to study and work. and now our family is super successful in business and our old ones are happy and our young ones are in school and college studying. 
          linda lotzi's story is just an awesome advice for people who feel down because of the economy or something else.linda changed my piont of view to everything. her success makes me to look up to what she did and i do that too. it actually works and i am very happy.linda felt down because of her classes , maybe it was hard for her. on the other side her son was pushing her to finish up. so she went to college. Graduating is always challenging but she could no longer afford it. it was even harder fo her because she had many things to do at the same time. that experience is very challenging and not many people can do that. but linda lotzu did! she wanted to find ways to work and study at the same time. she was sort of nervous and scared of losing her job and more. On the early 1990's she was working as a mail carrier with the postal service before landing a position at the national institutes of health.
          linda lotzi gave up on alot of things for success. i tried my best do be like her. it hard and we can not understand unless you are in that situation. the other thing is we all have different problems in our lives.  linda lotzi was such a hard worker and a student who thought Education was the only way to success.its hard when someone is a single parent and at the same time work and go to school. i think linda was in a really hard situation and most people cannot handle that. so these days single parents who go to school apply for financial aid or ask government for help.
          linda felt down and she was very tired. it was to hard for her to handle that. its all about working hard and never give up on what you are doing. some people like lotzi were smart in math and that can be a good talent. her son was pushing her up to finsh also. graduating is always challenging, even for lotzi.but the problem is she could no longer afford it. but nothing comes easy.finally lotzi decided to attend college and she only took one course which was math and she was good at it. she also worked hard and tried her best to be a good student and she always asked questions to her teachers.
          she was too busy to find ways to work and study at the same time. she was scared of losing her job. we said it before and we say that again, life is hard. a normal life comes with a good income, afew kids and man and wife. and everybody is happy. but in our case it can be hard as rock. but it is still possible to have a great life. sometimes life give you children and they use their idea's to make money and success and thats how you can have a great life. some go to church and pray like me and their life is filled with happiness. some work really hard and do their best like linda lotzi. people are different and have many different talents. but the thing is you have to want it. nothing comes easy and no one can be successful without others help. so thats why we have to work hard and ask others for help. thats what linda lotzi did. she went to college and took math courses and asked her teachers to explain the problems and they showed ways to solve those problems. it is easy if you got the enegry. but once you become lazy things are not that easy anymore.but linda did her best and came out with success. but my problem was different.

back in high school, most girls were drama! including my own girlfriend. i honestly did not have any problems because i always tried my best to study and woek the things with my teachers in high school. i never failed a class and never had a D. so my problems was how to deal with my girlfriend.because i felt like im spending way to much time on her and when i tried to my own stuff and school work she thought i was doing something else or hanging out with other girls.problems were hard and sometimes there is no solution to fix it.
          i decided to only focus on school and finally my girlfriend cheated and kind of dumed me and i was hurt but by the time i was back on track and started to focus on my stuff again and it worked up.i spent everyday talking to my teachers about my homework problems and all that stuff. and i asked questions and never gave up.
          i think the story of Linda lotzi was great and we have some facts in common. she was afraid to lose her job and her future. she was very nervous and sometimes she was careless. she was a returning student and that made the problem even more difficult but at the end she did not want to gave up and even her son was pushing her and lotzi was afraid of most things. it was a very hard situation for her to handle those stuff. she was a mother, a worker and also about to go back to school to learn more and study for her future. she wanted a good future for herself and her loved ones.
          lotzi never gave up and always tried to find a way to solve the problem. it hink i did the same thing as well. after my hurt was broken i still wanted one thing or shall i say one word that was success.we did what we could do the best, which is education. we both went to school and worked hard and by failing it means you start and do better. it is life and thats just the way it is. never give in.
