How Do You Measure Up?

   This week I received a graded evaluation from my teacher and I think that she was being a little to nice when grading me. I mean, I guess she was being honest but there is still a bunch of things that I am lacking in the classroom. Other than that, I agree with everything else she put.

    Mrs, Curtis didn't leave me any comments on the evaluation, but she told me in class that she enjoys me being in the classroom with her and the kids. also that she thinks my reason for wanting to teach in a Deaf Ed classroom is amazing.

    The areas I really need to improve on my signing with the kids. In the classroom I've encountered the issue that I have been learning American Sign Language in school, and in the field site they use Sign English. I have been studying and trying to self teach Sign English so there is no confusion with the kids and me signing.

My Plan for the New Year

In response to Mrs. Kallas' Blog Post.

 

          This new year I'm hoping to be a whole new year of change. Ready to get out of school and start off college. Everything is planned, set, and all that's left now is to take my SAT and submit!

One of my three goals would have to be to get a great score on my SAT! To score so well that it will be no question whether or not I can get into a 4-year school. Hopefully a 1500 or higher! :)

The second goal would have to be becoming a better friend by being more open and not so closed off. Become less introverted and let some of my favorite people in the world in. Ways to remember that is to not to not take them for granted, by giving them my time and personal attention.

Becoming a better time manager is the third goal on my list. Time is an invaluable asset and should be spent wisely. Learning where to expend energy, and where not to, has innumerable benefits, including less stress, more free time, fewer mistakes and improved production.
Forbes writer Jeff Boss suggests spending a week making a list of everyday distractions – the things that occupy time throughout the day but serve little purpose. Then eliminate them, or set aside an hour every day for tending to those diversions.

I plan to complete these goal in the new year by

remaining determined and stubborn-headed to get

what I want to get done, done.
