College Transition

Coach Evert’s

The reasons why I want to go to college is very basic like any other persons reason for going to college. I want to have a good education an excellent paying job and learn about what I want to do with my life the rest of my life. But while there I also want to have some fun and just get away from all the work and stress from being at school. The reasons why who I am going to college is for my parents and my whole family they helped me so much to help me get where I am at this moment with my life the help and support me through anything that I am having a problem with or just need some feedback on. What I look in a college is that the college grabs my attention with the programs that they provide for the students and how the teachers are ranked on their teaching skills. The person that I will ask for input about going to college is my older sister BERE since she is currently going to college but about any mechanic school or mechanic industry classes will have to be my dad or get zeal since he attended UTI. And these will help me in many ways since I will be making money and the days that I don’t g to school be relaxing or working to pay my tuition or student loan. These will help me since I will be certified and will be easier for me to find a job and pay more than minimum wage and still have money to pay bills and have fun or save up and buy a Toyota supra..

4^th period          

Short Term goals:

In short term goals for my education I would like to pass my sixth week report cards and pass all my classes for each sixth week. The way I am going to accomplish this is by studying more getting out of work early so I will get enough sleep and not go to sleep during the classes while the teachers are going over notes or lecturing to us. Doing my goals every day I consider short term since we get more every day and turn it in every tomorrow. Am going to do as much as I can in class and enrichment so I won’t stress out it. For my career short term is going to be my job at Wendy’s I’m staying their till I turn 17 and I can get a better job than flipping burgers. What I am going to do so its short term is looking for any job openings when I am 16 while I work at Wendy’s.

Long Term Goals:

In long term goals for my education is staying on task doing all my work and not doing stuff that will get me distracted from being a good honor roll student. I will also like to graduate and go to college once I get out of this school. The way I am going to try to accomplish this is staying in the environment of doing my work staying on task and already start looking in to colleges that I will like to attend in the future. In career I will like to be a mechanic engineer or a welder and I am going to accomplish this by learning reading these types of careers and having this type of skill is well paid and not that very stressful. 

Auditory

Hello!!! I’m an auditory learner so I will be writing about visual and tactile learner. I do not know much about visual or tactile learners. These are my definitions of what I believe is tactile and visual learner I will also explain the internet and blog detention or research that I make.

Visual learner-has to see everything to be able to understand or has to see a picture or graph or anything that you can see so that you can understand what the assignment is about or anything else that you are thinking about. Can easily be distracted by any moving objects or anything that is around them that will catch their attention. Especially computers or anything technological can easily blow their minds away. Some strategies that you can use if you’re a visual learner you can take notes in a way that you can understand them by graphing stuff or drawing them to your knowledge. Or  you can use objects or symbols to signify stuff.

Tactile learner or also known as Kinesthetic- are people that have to do a physical activity or has to do work or an assignment with other people or in a group so they would be able to understand the lecture. They also like acting stuff out and experiencing the world. Tactile learners are easily bored by anything. Being a tactile can help a lot because they won’t be shy or nervous since they like being active and like interacting with others. Strategies that you can use in your mind act them out make a little picture and use that or you can also work it out in a group or as a class and be one smart kid when your finish.

I Since I am a auditory learner I could have a recorder and then have It play when I am alone so It’s one of my strategies. Also I can always use my skill of listening because all teachers speak and all I have to do is listen so I can understand and BOOOM I’m done I can understand the process of  listening, so being auditory is a very good thing and benefit for me and all the other people who are along with me.

Procrastination

For my organization for school and any other out of school or work events I have them scheduled out so I know when I can go out and have fun and be able to do other stuff besides school  and work. The method I use is a calendar and a planner supplied by the school. The way I use the calendar is I date all the important days for me, the planner by scheduling my days and all the things I have to do and if I have any spare time from morning till the hour I go to sleep. Also don’t try to schedule many because the busier you are the less time you have to be able to save up for college. When you are trying to have time and get money at the same time it is hard to balance it especially when you want to graduate and get money so you can get money to go to college and be a very successful person.SO ORGANIZATION PLAYS A BIG ROLE IN YOUR LIFE!! My method for me really works I’ve been using it since I was in the 4^th grade and ever since it’s been a big help for me.

Procrastination really hurts especially if you’re a parent you have to do everything before it’s due. Examples is paying bills before they are due and working to pay bills and having time to spend with the family and other special events that families have. The way you can prevent it is by scheduling stuff out or having a personal agent that can help you out pay stuff and organize your busy schedule. Or if you have a wife have her help you out.
