 I learned from the book head, heart, and connections that you can feel emotions such as empathy when you are reading because you are able to effectively put yourself in the character shoes. This is most prevalent when you have went through similar experiences as the character in the book that you are reading. There are also mental images that come into your mind when you are reading an interesting book. The interesting thing about reading is it does not just cram information in your brain but it can change how your brain work and interpret what you are reading. You can also learn interesting information about yourself when you are reading because you can experience different emotions that reminds you of an event in your life. This can help in the classroom because when students learn how to interpret what they are feeling when they are reading it can enhance their academic success in the classroom. This can also help them in comprehending what they are reading especially when the story reminds them of an event in their life.

 I basically have a habit of keeping my Bomer book or other essential books in my backpack since I am taking courses that are very busy on blackboard. This keeps me from running back to my apartment for my book when I have an assignment that is due. I also keeps these books in the outer section of my backpack so I do not have to dig around in my backpack for it. My reading appointments with books are usually in the late evenings since this is the time of day that I am the most relaxed and less busy. This is also the time I read any type of books.

The ladies in the HBU library often know what I am reading because I communicate with them often and spend plenty time in the HBU library. Sometimes I tell them about ...

blog #7 Slice of life

 Sometimes I have no idea what to write about. Once I find a topic that interest me, I am as focused as a rat trying to get to a piece of cheese. Finding the three main points to list in my introduction can appear as challenging as putting together a puzzle. Once I brainstorm and get my thoughts and ideas together. it feels as if I can write blind folded. When I get stuck in the middle of my writing, three minute meditation is always the key to me refreshing my memory on things I already know. If my writing can make the audience feel like they are a part of my story, I am confident I have done my job as a writer.

one word

 The one word that I picked for the semester is integrity. I chose integrity because strong moral principles and honesty is something that will carry you a long way in this world regardless of the career path you decide to take. Integrity is related to literacy in the secondary schools because it is essential for students to behave ethically and do the right thing even when others are doing the wrong thing. I am going to keep this word in my mind this semester because I am passionate about living according to my deepest values by being honest regardless of who I am around. My goal is to be considered for essential promotions and leadership positions so integrity is a great factor when it comes to encountering these wonderful type of opportunities.
