Something I Hope to Learn This Year

This year I hope to learn anything I can that is computer related, that will get me prepared for my major in Computer Science. I hope to have a better understanding in Calculus and learn some new painting techniques.

My reaction to the video above, is normal. That's how society sees things and people, even if they won't admit it. Everyone has preceptions about a person or a race, either from experiences or things that they have heard from others. It's not right, but that is the poisoned mind of society. There are people in a race that do live up to the negative preceptions people have. There are people who do all the wrong things and give a bad image for everyone else who is nothing like them, but still belong to the race. There are people in a race who try to rise above the negative preceptions of others, they try to do the opposite of the preceptions.

And maybe people who are victims of those negative preceptions only act in a negative way because of the way society treats them. They can be different people, but when society is putting them down, then there seems to be no point in changing anything they do. Instead of being victim to teasing, or anything like that,  they choose to rebel and give themselves an even worse appearnce, to show that they can't be messed with.
Everything is inner-connected, the negative preceptions of society are caused by the actions of a group; the actions of a group are caused by the negative preceptions of society. Everyone has these preceptions even if they won't admit it, you just have to get to know some one before you judge, which is what we have been taught since we were little, but never thought very much about it.

Discussion Question:
Do you think society is responsible for the behavior of people in a certain race.

First Grading Period Experience

Feeling pretty good about the first grading period. My grades are doing pretty well, considering they're mainly AP. As the year goes on I get more stressed out about college, I don't know where to apply, except for one school. I know I'm almost gauranteed acceptance because of my grades, but it also depends on what my parents think...college 5,000 miles away isn't very appealing to most parents...yea just mainly stress about college and finishing this year off strong are the biggest problems I have.

SWOT Analysis

My method of studying.
Depends on what I am studying.

• When I read, study vocab, or read in French, it has to be absolutely quiet, or close to quiet, so that I can concentrate.

S: Comprehend things more, better concentration

W: My mind tends to wander when it's quiet.

O: can understand things better, than when there is noise.

T: Can spend all night in my room, and not get to see my family at all.

• When I am doing Calculus problems, Microeconomics problems, or painting, I have to have music on, or the TV on.

S: My mind thinks more creativly with the math problems, making it easier to solve a problem

W: Can get wrapped up in watching TV, or singing to the music, and forgetting about the homework.

O: Can have more fun with the studying because I'll dance while trying to figure out what the derivative of Tan(x)ln(x) is.

T: Makes homework take a longer time, or I don't put as much effort into it.

Regardless, I have to be alone when I am studying, otherwise I can't concetrate. When people try to talk to me I lose my train of thought, especially in French or Math where you have to be in a different mind set.
