Reflections on Week One

Are there any factors that you think are going to affect your participation or experience in this class? Access to a computer?  Mobile/smart phone?  Transportation?  Friends/family? Schedule?
     I don't think you will have any issue with my participation or experience in this class. First, because I do own a computer myself, I own an Ipod which I carry everywhere and the other questions don't pertain to me I believe. 

Think of an awesome best ever learning experience that changed you. What did you learn? Where were you? What happened? Who else was there? Did it teach you anything about how you learn (or pay attention... or remember, or think?) How did you know what was happening?
     The best learning experience I had that I believe changed me was when I went to Science Camp.  In Science Camp I learned many outdoor skills, the constellations, animal facts and many more things.  Science Camp took place in Rancho El Choro. While at the rancho we went hiking, we were able to be in the wilderness, saw creatures that perhaps we had never seen before and participated in many scavenger hunts.  At Science camp all the sixth grade classes were there including chaperons and our teachers.  I don't recall Science Camp teaching us how to learn, pay attention, remember, or think.  I knew what was going on at the time because I knew I had to listen in order to have the best experience and get something out of Science Camp. It was an amazing experience.

What are you most [excited/concerned] about in this class? What do you look forward to in learning?  How do you think it can/will make a practical difference in your life?
     This year 2014-2015 some things that I am most excited about is learning new things that will help me later on in college in my major. Something that I am most concerned about this class is getting anything lower than an A since English has always been my subject. In addition, somethings that I look forward to learning in this class is how to become a better writer to strengthen my essays/writing.  I believe it will make a practical difference in my life because this class will allow me to learn how to write better essays, and essays are what you write in university's for finals.
