If I Could Change One Thing About Me

At this point in time reflecting on my past experiences I think the first thing I would do differently with my life is believe in myself and not doubt my decisions or my looks. Growing up I have always been made to feel ashamed of my dark skin, my bigger body and my hispanic heritage because it was different from what society had taught me and my family. If I knew no one would judge me I would embrace the darker pigmentation of my skin, accept my body for how it is and wear my heritage with pride. During the summer might go out swim Instead of staying inside and worrying about getting a little bit darker; I would stop wearing long sleeve shirts on the hottest day to avoid having people see the darkness of my skin. I would wear red lipstick

I knew that the hardest mediums to cleanse myself from were going to be Snapchat, Instagram, and Twitter. My free time spent during breakfast allowed me to plan out my day in advanced rather than mindlessly scrolling through twitter. This new habit continued throughout the day, instead of surfing the Internet I replaced my time with productive assignments only. Occasionally, my mind would subconsciously go to Instagram or Twitter, but this only happened a handful of times during day. By employing this routine of replacing my social media use with something beneficial to my time, my homework was finished before I even left school! My school day was completed with minimal media use, but when I found that being at my home was a bit more challenging to abstain from all new media. I decided to go for to the gym for to work out but it is very hard for me to complete a workout without some sort of distraction like using my Spotify account. Unfortunately this was when the media black out challenge defeated me and I succumbed to referring back to my old habits by using media. Though I was able to make it through most of the day without my media, I could not sufficiently complete the full twenty-four

In my opinion, the thing I would love to change In my life this year Is that I want my dad to understand and not to put me down and not think nothing bad of me as an embarrassment In what I mostly want to be In the future which Is to be a barber/cosmetologist I've been wanting to be one since a kid that's all I would bring up to my parents In my perspective to me I think they would say under their breath she Is not gonna get to that goal she Is not gonna reach that I also want my mom to think better of me not to think of her daughter of “ Oh she was born in the streets of Los Angeles and a typical Chola so she Is probably gonna get pregnant at 16 and dropout of high school” I want her to think better of me and not negative, I want her to think

For example, I try to get most of my homework done in study hall or right when I get home from school. Turning in work on time can take some of the stress from school

As a busy mother, partner, worker etc. I find it hard to allocate appropriate time especially for studying.

In my home my mum is both mum and dad. She takes care of as much as she can. She dose some things such as: cooking, cleaning, and others. She can’t do much much anymore so I do most the work around the house.

To be honest, I wouldn’t change anything. I feel more confident because I came this far

At home I have four younger sisters, so growing up I learned to become responsible at a very young age. Being the oldest, I did most of the chores in my house for a while. For an example, I was in charge of babysitting, cleaning, and making sure that everybody's homework was complete. I always felt the necessity to do everything accordingly, due to the fact that I had so many people

Question #9 One thing I would change about myself would be me being an introvert, I would change myself from being a introvert because I really not fond of confrontations, and the anxiety can be really annoying most of the

The three study weaknesses that I have are turning off my cell phone during studying, highlighting entire paragraphs when taking notes, and a photographic memory. While studying for an assignment or quiz in high school, I struggled with having my cell phone on and near me. At any vibration, I would have to stop studying and pick up the phone to make sure I was not missing an important text, email, or phone call. Because of this distraction it caused me to reread sentences over and over, which leads to my second weakness as adult highlighting entire paragraphs instead of identifying the key points. This negative habit began while in a college English course.

to be blessed with everything that I have did. The only thing I would change is being a

Your environment is distracting and noisy. You keep running back and forth for equipment such as pencils, erasers, dictionaries, and etc. Your desk is cluttered and unorganized and sometimes you even sit or lay on your bed to study or do your assignments. All of these examples that you just heard promote time wasting and frustration which prohibits you from staying concentrated.

Every morning I wake up searching my bed for my phone. Flipping sheets and pillows until my phone appears. I lay back in bed and check my Facebook, Snapchat and Reddit. Telling myself that i'll get out of bed in fifteen minutes but I get absorbed into my phone and that fifteens minutes turn into thirty minutes. I start to do the rest of chemistry homework but in five minutes I lose my concentration and I reach for my phone without thinking. I end up doing my homework last minute before class. I always tell myself that I got to do my homework right after school. But that never happens because the same thing that always happens in the morning, Its a endless cycle. While I was typing up this essay, I thought of batman and went to Netflix and watched Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Five hours wasted that i could've used for homework. Some people self diagnose themselves with ADHD and blame their attention span and willingness to learn on ADHD. I blame it on the internet and ourselves.

The character I choose for this project was Moshe the beadle. I choose this character, because in my lifetime I have come across people who did not believe me when I was trying to warn them. I feel as though I can relate to the Moshe when everyone thought he was insane for saying things he actually saw. In addition I chose Moshe the as my character, because he seemed very humble, in the book he always gave his advice, and never seemed to doubt anyone even though he was very poor himself.

I believe the hardships I have in college are because I'm either lazy or they're too many distractions when I'm doing my work or studying. For example I get too lazy to study so then I for myself and believing I know the content when I really don't know. Leading me into when it's time to take the test I believe I’m going to get a better grade than I actually do. Also the distractions in my work or study place play a big role in the hardships I face in school. For example when I'm doing my homework I have my phone and my computer next to me. This causes me to take a break from the work and check my phone or play music on the computer. I hope these weaknesses don't affect me in college although I'm starting to work towards changing them. Should I early start and traditional math program and the assignments I have to do at home I have look for a quieter and a free distraction place. Also if I don't know the content I research it and tried even though I don't know
