Class Evaluation

1/2. In my exploring computer science I liked how we would get free time to code. I also liked how we got to do a blog. I enjoying having a life planning journal only because it helps you plan your life. Also, having free write in my journal it helps me express my everyday events. Things I did not like about my exploring computer science class is that we have assigned seats. 

 3. Some recommendations I have for this class to improve are having more free time. Having random CTR card checks. Have free blog post day for people who are not really into computer science. 

4. A highlight for me in this class was when we have a discussion when we are sharing what we write on our computer science journals. 

5. I feel like I did do my best in this class. We never have homework everything was class work and I always did that so I feel like I always did my class work. Except the days i was absent. 

6. I read and write in my journal in class only because it is every other day. I feel like I do not have enough like to do it everyday because I have homework and senior defense artifacts to finish. 

7. I am committed in being a CTR person because choosing the right at all times is the best choice I ever will make. I will constantly seek personal development because becoming a better person everyday and learning how to become a better person is always good. 

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Habit 1: Be Proactive 

"Habit 1 is the key to unlocking all the other habits and that's why it comes first. It says, "I am the captain of my life. I can choose my attitude. I'm responsible for my own happiness or unhappiness. I am in the driver's seat of my destiny, not just a passenger."

  Be Proactive is about taking responsibility for your life. You can't keep blaming everything on your parents or grandparents. Proactive people recognize that they are "response-able." They don't blame genetics, circumstances, conditions, or conditioning for their behavior. They know they choose their behavior. Reactive people, on the other hand, are often affected by their physical environment. They find external sources to blame for their behavior. If the weather is good, they feel good. If it isn't, it affects their attitude and performance, and they blame the weather.

Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind 

"Control your own destiny or someone else will." (Jack Welch)

  Begin with the end in mind means to focus on what you want to be and do. It is your plan for success. It shows who you are, puts your goals in focus and moves your ideas into the real world. Your mission statement makes you the leader of your own life. You create your own destiny and secure the future you envision.

 Habit 3: Put First Things First

"Organize and execute around priorities."

  To live a more balanced existence, you have to recognize that not doing everything that comes along is okay. There's no need to overextend yourself. All it takes is realizing that it's all right to say no when necessary and then focus on your highest priorities. 

Habit 4: Think Win-Win

"Think win-win or no deal."

  Win-win sees life as a cooperative arena, not a competitive one. Win-win is a frame of mind and heart that constantly seeks mutual benefit in all human interactions. Win-win means agreements or solutions are mutually beneficial and satisfying. We both get to eat the pie, and it tastes pretty darn good!

Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, then to be Understood

"Diagnose before you prescribe."

  Some people like to be understood more than to understand others situations. In order to be an effective person, you need to understand yourself then be sure to explain yourself to others and other people will be sure to understand you.

Habit 6:  Synergize

"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts (1+1=3)"

  A habit to be a person who is involved in teamwork is important to work with others. It gives you opportunities to be open-minded and seeing different solutions to problems. Effective people are synergized just because it helps them be a better person and smart at what they do. 

Habit 7:  Sharpen the Saw

Four Dimensions of Self-Renewal: Physical, Mental, Spiritual, Social/Emotional

  Being a highly effective person comes with being physically healthy. As in you know how to control your thoughts are manageable towards stress, exercise and maintain a good nutrition. Having a good mentality comes handle as well, knowing how to read, visualize, planning, and writing properly. 

Reflection

  All seven habits add up to be a highly effective person. A proactive person is always taking responsibility for their actions. beginning with the end in mind always makes it precise that you are committed to finishing what you start. Puting first things first, putting your responsibilities ahead of anything. think win-win, don't think about failing always think positive and winning is something you will always do. Seek first to understand, and then to be understood, meaning always understand others and if you understand them they will understand you. Synergize, be creative and cooperation. Sharpen the saw, be a good and healthy person.

Importance of Setting Goals

  The importance of setting goals helps you know what you want in the future. It helps you be organized. When you set a goal for yourself you are entertained in accomplishing it and you would do anything to do that.

Reflection: 

  I would want to come to this University just because it is located in Miami and it would be fin to got to school where people vacation, but then not really because they don't have courses in what I like.  

Vacation

  A goal I have for my self when I have my career going is to go on vacation to Florida. I have seen images of the beautiful waterfalls they have out there. I think they are so beautiful I just have to go out there and see it for my self. The three main waterfalls I would like to see are Falling Creek Falls, Falling Waters State Park, and Devil's Millhopper Geological State Park.

Six Rules to Make People Like you.

If you want people to like you.........

Rule 1: Become genuinely interested in other people.

  If you want people to like you you have to be genuinely interested in the friendship they have to offer.  

Rule 2: Smile

  If you are a type a person with a smile you give people that do not know you comfort to have a conversation with you. When you smile people tend to attract that very well. Having a smile also tend people to perceive you.

Rule 3: Remember names

  If you don't remember peoples names it just makes you look like a rude person, unprofessional, and not serious about what you have to offer. In order to associate with others, you would have to remember what their name is. If you do not remember what their name is you would not know what to call them by and you would not be able to associate. 

Rule 4: Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.

   In order to be liked by other people you, when you talk to them you don't just want to be talking about yourself. You want the other person to be comfortable with you, make them feel like you are interested in what they are telling you and you need to be polite.  Listen to what they have to talk about. I am they would go back to you so you can listen to them more and you will end up with a friend next thing you know. 

Rule 5: Talk in terms of the other man's interest.

  If you want people to like you, you really do not have to try hard. When making the conversation seem interested in what they are saying people enjoy being listened too and enjoy the company. Become interested in what they are talking about. 

Rule 6: Make the other person feel important and do it sincerely. 

  If you want people liking you, you would have to make them feel important. Not so much they start to think otherwise from you and get another intention. You can pretend someone is important to you and you are faking it. They eventually end up seeking the truth. Making a person feel important to you overall makes them feel good loved and open. They would eventually enjoy your presents and be your friend. 

Reflection:

  These six ways to people liking you are really helpful in being a good person and having many friendships. People are not always going to like you but these are somethings you can do to help you as a person who would be liked by everyone. I am committing in starting to do these things when I start meeting new people when I'm off to college. I feel like it would be very helpful when going into adulthood.

Las Vegas Mass Murdering 

  October 2, when people went to Las Vegas for a music festival to enjoy their vacation. While they were at a concert some one by the name of Stephan Paddock was planning a shooting. I think this is very terrifying and unfair.
