Marsha Fralick’s Introduction
Here is an example of a 100 word introduction:
I am your professor
for Counseling 120. I retired from Cuyamaca College where I worked from
1978-2007 as a counselor and instructor for this course. I play many roles
in life. I am a Grandmother with 2 young granddaughters. I enjoy
taking care of them frequently and watching them grow. My own children are
grown up and have their own careers and homes. I have my own business and
work with colleges across the country in training faculty to teach college success
courses. I am also the author of your textbook. In my leisure time
I enjoy traveling and being active.
Marsha Fralick’s Educational Journey
Here is an example of
a 100 word posting.
I attended a small country high school in New
Mexico and was a good student. When I went to the University of New
Mexico, I found that it was a whole new world and I was not prepared for
it. I struggled to be successful in college and had to learn how to listen
to lectures, take notes and prepare for exams. I also had uncertain career
goals. When I started working at a college, I remembered those years that
I struggled and decided to invent a course that would help students to be
successful. It has been a fun and rewarding adventure for the last 33
years.
Good afternoon,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Ashley Crawley I'm 23 years old. I'm new to San Diego and I enjoy music and traveling. My current hobby is learning how to play the guitar. This is something I have been wanting to do for years and I'm finally getting to it. I also love spending time with my children teaching them new things and watching them pick up new skills and talents. What matters to me most Is that I set a great example for my kids to see and show them that anything is possible if you set your mind to it and have a vision.
Hello again it's me Ashley Crawley. As you know I'm 23. What you do not know is I'm 23 with 4 kids and a husband I have been married to for 4 years. With that being said college has not come easy for me. As a high school student I was a great student. I tested up as a sophomore to become a senior. I attended Madera high for my first two years of high school before testing up. Once I tested up I attended homeschool. I graduated with a 3.5 gpa on May 29 2009 at the age of 16. College was never pushed in my household so once I finished high school I didn't leave to college. After having a break with no school I decide to go back after I got married at the age of 18. I found out I was pregnant with twins shortly after getting married so school was pushed backed once again. I have been pregnant twice after my twins which are now 4, I also have a 3 year old and a 6month old. I'm just now trying to get back in school after being out for some time. My career goal is to become a family and marriage counselor and ton help marriages and family thrive to be great. This is my first time doing online classes so I'm excited for the journey. My goal is to finish this semester with at least a 3.5 GPA. With discipline I know it possible but I will be hard work having 4 kids at home and working online, but I know it's possible.
ReplyDeleteWelcome class. It will be challenging with 4 children, but you can do it and be a good role model for them.
DeleteGood Afternoon ,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Omar Alvarez. Im 20 years old. I'm one of 3 sons ( a 27 year old sister and a twin). I'm from Tijuana ,Mexico (not that far from here), so i moved to San Diego on September 2014. Im passionate about technology. My current hobby ( that is slowly turning into sort of a life style ) is triathlon. I like to learn about new things and discuss and analize those things rationally.
I came to this country to live the "American Dream" and have a better life quiality .Im really excited to experiment the "College Life" and delevope my skills to become a great member of today's society.
Is Omar Alvarez again. I finished high school in Mexico before moving to California ( a couple of month before to be precise). I didn't start College right away because of my residential status. I needed to be at least one year old resident to clear the pre-requisites of Cuyamaca College and that happened on October of 2015. Unfortanetly the semester had already started so i had to wait to Spring 2016 , so here I am. The future i'm planing for my college/ Universty is to finish College at Cuyamaca and then be transfered to San Diego State University for the Degree. My Dream Career is Computer Networking. Im exicted about this journey( because is a new phase in my life in general ) and yet a little nervous because this is my first semester in a new country i barely know culturally, and even if the english language is not an issue, i have to practice it more frequently. But im not the first and the last foreign student so...What stops me to success?
ReplyDeleteWelcome to class. Nothing is in the way of your success. Living in a new country can be difficult, but you can do it and are off to a good start.

DeleteMy name is Maria Menchaca. I was born and raised in San Diego. I am one of twelve kids. I am one of the middle children and I am probably the most driven. I absolutely adore being around children and I probably get along better with them than I do someone my own age. I am a former foster youth and have recently got back into touch with my family. I enjoy reading and making jewelry. I'm also a movie buff and enjoy a science fiction or action movie before I'll watch a romance movie.

ReplyDeleteGrowing up, I moved around a lot so until I was in middle school I moved schools a lot. I spent my freshman year of high school at Valhalla but spent my last three years at Grossmont High School. I graduated with honors. I have been at Cuyamaca College for a couple semesters. I plan on transferring to Cal State San Marcos. I am working towards a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology. After that, I plan on getting my Master's in Medical Social Work. I hope to work in the hospital and somehow be able to incorporate my work with young children.
Welcome to class. You have overcome a lot of obstacles to be here and I know you will be successful.
DeleteHello, my name is Brandon Dally. I am 22 years old, born and raised in San Diego. I come from a family of 2, my younger brother and I, the oldest of course! I grew up in El cajon. It is a pretty big town but when you live in it for 17 years you practically know everyone. My father has a pizza restaurant there called franco's pizza, now owned by him for 29 years and current. I help him till today and thats been about 10 years. I love spending time with my family and friends. I've always had a hobby of swimming. Growing up and experiencing the real world gave me an interest in traveling and seeing mother nature for itself. Whats most important in my life is to be successful, and not love what I do. It's to do what I love.
ReplyDeleteI attended grade school in in El cajon, at least elementary and middle school. I graduated high school from Steele Canyon on 2012, located in Spring Valley/Rancho San Diego for those of you who are familiar. This is my fourth year at grossmont now due to changing my major a couple of times and being depended on with the restaurant, working lots of hours. That has changed now. I help once a week and work twice a week at Sharp grossmont as a certified nursing assistant. I have made my educational goal into Nursing so I am getting wonderful experience now. I am taking this class out of the options I had because I knew that I would learn more about success and motivation and how to better myself. This class is also a requirement for me to graduate this semester. My educational plan is to attend nursing school, get my bachelor's in nursing and become a Nurse Practitioner. I would like to do assignments with nursing throughout all the states so that I can travel and see the world!!!

ReplyDeleteHi everyone! My name is Cynthia Romero, I am 26 years old. I am a mother to a beautiful 2 year-old and I am currently expecting another child early July. I transitioned from being a banker of five years to a stay-at-home mother which was a huge adjustment. I enjoy spending my down time (if I have any) watching movies, reading and hiking. I also enjoy exploring new things with my son. It is important to me to see my child grow and learn. To have him know that nothing in life is impossible. In addition to learning and growing myself.

ReplyDeleteI graduated Mount Miguel High School in 2007. After high school I decided not to attend college because of the job I had. I got used to making money but then figured out that without a college education, I would be stuck at the position I was in. Here I am, nine years later pursuing a degree in Business Management. I hope to enter into a career within human resources. I know it will be a struggle to finish, being I am a mother. But I am motivated to get my degree and to get a career for my family and myself.
Welcome to class. It is challenging being a mother and a college student, but you can do it. You have already taken the first step.
DeleteMy name is Hannah Dupre. I am 19 years old, and some of my favorite hobbies are reading, sports, and being with friends. My interests in books is mostly on mythical or fictional stories. When reading a book, it feels like watching a movie in my head. I also have a passion for animals, they are a huge stress reliever and great companions. Just by spending time with my pets, or even someone else's pet, they boost my mood. My education, friends, and family are very important to me. My education increases my learning experience, my friends improve it, and it's always nice to have my family support me.
ReplyDeleteI went to Valhalla High School and graduated 2014. I came to Cuyamaca last year, and plan to transfer into a university after next school year in 2017. I'm taking this class because I need it for a requirement to transfer, but also because I barely know what I want to do with my future education and for a career. I am leaning towards a major involving mathematics, like engineering, because it's what I'm good at. I hope in this class that I will become more confident in my abilities as a student and become more confident in the decisions I make that are important to me.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to class. This class is great for figuring out your major. There are many good opportunities in science and engineering.
DeleteHello! My Name is Neyla Buil Macarty I’m 18 years old and I was raised in Tijuana until my family moved to San Diego, where I was born. I lived in Coronado for eight years and graduated from Coronado High School in 2015. I played Varsity Golf in high school and currently play on the Cuyamaca Women’s Golf team. I like to play golf because its an individual game and unlike every other sport the ‘arena’ is never the same, even if you play at the same golf course because the conditions are never the same any given day. I also like to travel and when I do I enjoy embracing the culture of the place that I am visiting.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to class. I look forward to working with you this semester.

ReplyDeleteMy schooling has varied throughout elementary schools, but starting from Middle school i attended Hillsdale Middle school from 6th to 8th grade and Valhalla High school for 9th to 12th grade. I never really tried my best in School because it never really interested me in what i wanted to do in life. But due to recent things I have now found what i would like to do and hope i can achieve those goals. I have always had a hard time writing essays and managing my time between work and school, but with taking this class i hope it will teach me how to manage time properly and how to use effective tools with note taking and test taking.

ReplyDeleteMy name is Ashley Shorez I recently graduated from Valhalla High School this past year. My hobbies consist of going to the beach and enjoying the beautiful weather as well as traveling any chance I get. The things that are most important to my life are my family, and of course my dog. Family plays the most important role in my life because without them I would not be where I am. They taught me everything I know and continue to help me grow as a person. My family motivates me, pushes me, and tells me it how it is.
As you know, I attended Valhalla High School before Cuyamaca College. I had some great times in high school I participated in Cheer and Tennis in my years there. I was a good student overall but high school and college are a little different and I believe college helps students grow more as individuals. I am taking this class as a requirement but I also believe it will help me in the future and I will learn a lot from it. My goal is to transfer to SDSU by Fall of 2017 because that will conclude my two years here at community college. My dreams for the future are to be successful in my field of study which is Biology.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to class. This course will be helpful in learning skills to be successful at SDSU.

ReplyDeleteHello, my name is Landall and I'm a graduate of El Cajon Valley High School class of 2014. Most important things to me in my life would be my family and the love and passion I have for basketball. I do not play basketball anymore as a competitive sport, but I still am in love with the sport and will play it whenever I have the time. Well, I spend most of my time with my friends and family and enjoy every last second of it. Ive been living in San Diego all my life and hopefully I have no plans of moving out of this beautiful city. I also want to add that when I attended ECVHS, we ended up becoming the first league champions in that schools history and I'm very glad to be apart of that. I'm looking forward to this class and I'm really hoping that this class will help me out in the long run.
ReplyDeleteHello again, this is landall again and I have had a pretty interesting educational journey. I enjoyed learning in high school and hopefully college will just as exciting as it was when I first entered college. I didn't really struggle in high school because I thought high school was pretty easy. I did manage to fail geometry because the teacher was just horrible and I honestly could not understand anything she would say or explain. I did manage to make that class up my junior year and ended up passing it with an A. I did end up graduation and was the first in my family to do so which I'm proud of. Hopefully I can take my knowledge and use it here in college and hopefully succeed. I wish you all luck this semester and lets all just have fun. Good luck everyone.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to class. Use that passion for basketball to motivate yourself to be successful in college.

ReplyDeleteHello everyone
ReplyDeleteMy name is Najib Qachi, I am from Iraq, I have been here for 3 years and a half. I am interesting in watching TV, watch the news and what is happening in my country.
The most important thing in my life is my family. I am married and I have five daughters, I do everything for them to make sure that they won't depend on anybody in the future.
My oldest daughter is going to get engagged today, my third one got married two weeks ago.
It's so sad to leave them, but knowing they are happy, makes me happy too.
I have been at Cuyamaca college for almost 2 years and I like it.
Hello
ReplyDeleteI have a long educational journey, I studied in Iraq, I was a teacher for an elementary school, I was teaching math and Arabic.
When I arrived here, I started thinking about how to learn English, so I went to schools that teach ESL, but they weren't helpful for me so I decided to go to college so I can extend my education and maybe majoring in something I would like. My current educational goal is to improve my language and be better because I feel like if I don't know how to speak, then I will not be able to understand the world and the people around me.
Welcome to class. This is a great course to practice your English and decide on a major.

ReplyDeleteMy name is Wafaa Hermiz, I am from Baghdad, Iraq. I moved to the U.S three years ago. I don't have any interests that I would like to share because I spend my days at home doing house work and I go to college two days a week. I might love cooking and watching Indian TV shows, but they are part of my life, not an interest. The most important thing in my life is to improve my language and be successful in my life. I'm still learning and I still have a lot to do, but I will never give up.
Hello again.
ReplyDeleteI studied in Iraq, I graduated from the high school in 1981. after I finished my high school, I work at the bank as an accounter. My educational journey is so short because since I had my first child, I quit and started my regular life.
When I came to the united states, I found that the language is so difficult and I didn't know what to do to improve it, so I decided to attend the college and learn step by step. I'm taking this class because I heard that it will improve me to become better and it will help me in the future. My future goal is to improve my language and study accounting.

DeleteHello everyone! My name is Hannah Padilla, I am 18 years old and have lived in San Diego my whole life, very blessed I know. I am a full time student and work 4-5 days a week at Nordstrom in La Jolla in the Active department. I am really into health and fitness, I've been a vegetarian for about 6 years and have attempted a multitude of sports, but I dedicated 12 years to soccer and 4 years to track and field. Some things that I love are my family and friends, my house in Mexico, the beach, good coffee, shoes, meaningful books and inspirational quotes. I like to think of myself as an outgoing and sociable person, but I am definitely a realist which can be both a positive and negative thing. I've heard really good things about what one can personally take away from this class so I am excited to be apart of it.
ReplyDeleteIn terms of my educational career path, I attended a private catholic school in La Mesa called St Martin of Tours from pre school-8th grade, afterwards I attended Steele Canyon High School, which was definitely a culture shock but I loved it! I graduated this past year and was really involved, through sports, clubs, leadership programs and AP classes. My favorites being AP US History, AP Government and AP English Language. Science and math have never been my strong suits, but I still manage to do well in the classes when I keep up with all the work. Financially, it was the best decision to attend a junior college first but I hope to transfer as soon as possible to either UCLA, UC Irvine, UC Berkely or Cal Poly Slo. I am currently majoring in Communication and want to minor in Marketing, but I am also considering a Marketing major and Poly Sci minor. We will see! :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to class. Cuyamaca is a great place to prepare for transfer. It is a good decision financially and you will get a good education here.

DeleteHello my name is Richard lilley. I am nineteen years old and the youngest of three boys. I have hemi-paralysis resulting from a childhood stroke that has influenced my interest and life choices. For instance I have a deep fascination in medicine. I enjoy staying up to date with scientific discoveries that can improve modern medicine. Aside from my interest in science I enjoy reading, drawing and painting. I have taken art classes all for years of high school and my artistic abilities have grown each year. When I’m not studying or creating art I like to spend my down time volunteering at a retirement home and babysitting my 16 month old nephew.
ReplyDeleteHello Richard again, I spent my high school days at Mount Miguel High School where I graduated in 2014. I originally attended college at California State University Eastbay in Hayward California where I majored in Health Science. Unfortunately I did not find this university to be a good fit so after completing my first year I decided to move back home and attend school at Grossmont College where I plan to transfer to San Diego State to continue studying Health Science with a minor in literature. After attaining my degree I plan to enroll in a physician assistant program and later down the line attend med school to achieve my childhood dream of becoming a pediatrician. Lastly I am taking this class because it was highly recommended by a few friends who said it helped motivate them in continuing their education when they were in a bit of a slump.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to class. The first chapter is on motivation, so you are off to a good start.

Hello again,
ReplyDeleteI am going to introduce you to my educational journey. My educational journey is not interesting for me because it was a long journey, I finished my high my high school when I was in Iraq, but when I came here, I was told that I have to reaped all over again because I didn't bring my certification so this is what happened, I attended the college, I tried to do all I can to reach at least one goal or have a degree.

ReplyDeleteMy name is Paloma Hernandez and I am 21 years old. I was born and raised here in San Diego, which is why I want to move to a different state once i'm done with my schooling. My hobbies include surfing at Ocean Beach, hiking, and yoga. I am very interested in learning new things all the time this led me to read a lot. I am also a huge horror film fanatic. I love all the classic horror films, the new ones not so much. What is very important in my life is my family, including my awesome dog Walter White who I adopted when I was having a rough period in my life. It is also important to me to be successful, my mom has done a lot for me to have a good education and live in a nice area so I refuse to disappoint her.
Hello again,
ReplyDeleteI have changed my major a total of 4 times which is why i'm still at community college because I could not make up my mind. I graduated from Valhalla high school in 2012 and continued my education at Cuyamaca. I finally decided on my major being Criminal Justice, hopefully I don't change my mind once again. I'm hoping that by taking this class I will be assured that Criminal Justice is the correct path for me because I don't want to regret it later on in my educational career once I have transferred to a four year college. My goals and dreams for the future once I graduate from school is to either become a sheriff or a border patrol. My current educational goal is to finish school with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice.

Without them I wouldn't be anything because they make me, make who I am now and what I want to be. I am attending college to be better and get a degree or anything that will make me proud of myself and what I have done to be in this place.
Hello again,
ReplyDeleteI finished my high school in Baghdad, Iraq. I couldn't go to the university because of the bad situation in Iraq so we had to move to Syria, In Syria I couldn't finish because I had to pay money for it especially my GPA was high in the high school so when it's higher you pay more. After two years I moved to Jordan, Jordan was worse and more expensive so I decided to attend schools that teach ESL, I improved some of my English skills, but when I came here I found everything more difficult. I am doing my best and trying to be better. I am attending this class because I need to learn how to improve myself, how to decide my major so I know what's waiting for me in the future. I haven't decided my educational goal yet, but I will ASAP.

I am an athletic fun outgoing guy. My hobbies are playing sports, working out and hanging out with my family and friends. I am a youth soccer coach and player. I also very much enjoy cars and upgrading mine (2013 Ford Mustang) The most important things in my life are my family, friends and personal goals I have set for myself. One thing I would really love to have happen this year is to visit Barcelona, Spain and watch my favorite team play a soccer game as watching them is a great passion of mine.
My educational journey started at Steele Canyon high school. From there I came to cuyamaca and now am trying to transfer to San Diego state. This class is a class I need to take for my general classes which is why I am taking it but I'm sure it is going to teach me valuable things I will be able to use throughout my life. My educational goals are to transfer to San Diego State University and get my bachelors in Kinesiology. After that I would like to go to chiropractic school to become a chiropractor. After that my final goal is to own my own chiropractic clinic and hopefully be very successful throughout my career!

DeleteBefore Cuyamaca I attended Coronado High School and graduated in 2015. I am enrolled in this class to be able to transfer to the college of my choice, as well as to learn how to manage my time and be able to succeed in college. My goals for the future are unclear for the most part, but I want to play golf for the university I transfer to. I do not know what school I would like to go to yet, all I know is that I would like to stay in California or go to Mexico. I hope that during my time at Cuyamaca College I will figure out what I would like to major in. My current educational goal is to graduate Cuyamaca and transfer to a University.

ReplyDeleteMy name is Kaley Gilstrap and I am 24 years old. I am born and raised in San Diego and I firmly believe it’s the greatest city to live in. My greatest interests involve being outside and active. I will typically make a couple desert and camping trips throughout the year with family and friends. I have a passion for hiking, and I partake in crossfit classes several times a week to stay healthy. Some additional hobbies I have are building and shooting my own firearms and skydiving when I need a bit of a rush. Needless to say, traveling is at the top of my bucket list. I hope to travel and learn about the world as much as I can.
Hello again, my name is Kaley Gilstrap. I attended Bonita Vista High School, where my sophomore year I began taking classes at Southwestern College for both high school and college credit. I graduated from BVHS in 2009 where I than began a full semester at Southwestern College. Quickly realizing that SWC didn’t have the curriculum I was looking for. I always had a passion for science and particularly Forensic Science. After countless hours of research I discovered that one of the best Forensic Technology programs was at Grossmont College, with that being said I transferred there a semester later. I enrolled in the Forensic Technology program and have since completed my Associates of Science in Forensic Technology. I applied to Cal State Long Beach where I will be attending in Fall 2016 to continue my Bachelors in Criminology. I am taking this course to help me continue my success in college and make sure I am taking all the appropriate steps to help my career. Since completing my Associates degree I have applied to several agencies in the Orange County area and have successfully attended job testing and interviews.

DeleteI am Riman Hirmiz. Iraq is my hometown but I spend the same amount of yeas in Holland as much. Both countries left a mark in my life and a moment in my heart that I will never forget because they have two different cultures and I gain a wonderful experience from both cultures. My major is business and I enjoy all business classes I take because I wish I ever have any kind of job in this sector. My hobby is drawing when I have mood and time and walking. My goal is to graduate from Grossmont College with high grades and to learn as much as I can so I will be prepared for work. I wish you all a good luck with every steps you take.
ReplyDeleteIt’s me again Riman Hirmiz. I studied High school in Iraq and I also studied some courses in Holland. I finished business secretary and financial administration course. I always wanted to learn a lot about the most sides of business because I find it a broad world and very important sector in this life. I admire any business person who succeed in business. I am taking this class, in the beginning I took it because it was required but when I read the syllabus, I found out that it could be the way that lead me to know exactly which business I can specify and focus on it.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great class to plan your future. Welcome to class.
DeleteAs for me, Justin Goro I am just going to school at Cuyamaca to get my General Ed classes done with then I wish to transfer to UCSD or SDSU to major in civil engineering, I might get my masters but I am unsure about that at the moment so I will not make any comments on that yet. My goal is to transfer out of Cuyamaca within 2 years, I believe this is possible if I start going to school full time, and not work so much. I plan to be done with school by the time I turn 25.
ReplyDeleteAgain, for me Justin Goro, I have road blocks just like everyone else does, mine are just work, and some friends that tend to distract me from school. Like I said earlier I work full time, so it does make it hard for me wanting to come full to school because I dont want to overwhelm myself with everything and start to slack in either work, school, or maybe even both. Each semester i am adding an extra class to my schedule, easing into full time, so I am more comfortable with my schedule, instead of going all out at one time and then regretting it later because I realize it was too much to handle and do good at the same time. For myself, my goals is to have at least a 3.6 GPA when I transfer and I believe that that is easily achievable. In addition once I transfer colleges I will cut my hours from work a lot, or maybe even stop working so I can focus on school a lot more.
ReplyDeleteIt is difficult to work full time and go to school full time without getting frustrated. Try to cut back on work if possible. Welcome to class!
DeleteHi! My name is Alexis and I am nineteen years old. I graduated from West Hills in 2014. I am an accounting student at Grossmont and this is my first class at Cuyamaca. I'm hoping to transfer to state after next year. I love traveling (going to Australia in June), concerts, the beach,working out, hiking, cooking, and finding great restaurants. I hate sitting home and wasting a day so I'm usually always out doing something. I am the oldest child of three and help my mom take care of my two autistic and special needs siblings, Alex and Kyla.
ReplyDeleteyou are my kids age! West hills is a great high school, my kids graduated from granite hills ! Do your best and focus on school, the rest will come on its own! Traveling is a great thing, I love to explore new countries ! I am from Europe and you should totally take a trip to there. I have 3 kids.
DeleteI'm taking this class because this course covers a lot of topics I need help with like time management and studying methods. It also fulfills one of the requirements for transferring to state. This is my fourth semester in college and I graduated from West Hills High School in 2014. My goals and dreams for the future is to ultimately be happy with my career, marriage, and lifestyle. I want to be financially stable and be able to support my family. I have 10 classes left after this semester so I hope to finish it all in 2 semesters and transfer to a college near here. My first pick would be state, but if not I just want to remain in San Diego.

I hope to transfer to another college in the San Diego area after i finish some general education and decide on a major.

I moved to San Diego in 2012-2013 with my family for about four years ago and I decided to study. I am very passionate at teaching little kids, I would either be a babysitter or an elementary school teacher or both. I have many hobbies, I’m a sociable person I love discussing new stuff and knowing about everything that s surrounding me. I came to the United States to live a better life and be able to study, because you know it’s not safe in Iraq and you can’t go to school because you could’ve get killed so the best decision was to leave the country and migrate to find a better and safer life here.

DeleteHello again my name is salah polus . I'm 42 years old and I have 4 kids andwife . I have been married for about 20 years.

ReplyDeleteHello Everyone !
ReplyDeleteI am Riman Hirmiz. I am a mother of two twins and a girl. I have been married for 20 years . I was born and raised in Iraq, and lived in iraq for 20 years than moved to the Netherlands for 20 years now I am in the United States for almost 6 years . I have finished and graduated with my Bachelor's degree in Iraq. I continued college in Holland and as well graduated but America would not accept it, that's why I am starting school over again. My career goal is business. And to end up opening my own business. I want to tranfer to SDSU. As well according to this assignment for this week I am an extravert type of person. Meaning that I am a social person around people. I like to meet new people, learn from different cultures and collect new ideas, in a new perspective way. I am an open minded person that understands other people’s feelings, how they speak and how to accept things when the person is not in the mood. I am not a hard-headed person. I like to share opinions, and discuss about them. I like variety. I like a variety of things, I usually don’t like to stick with one thing. I like to change my mind and see or do something different. Even if it goes wrong, I incredibly encourage someone to fail and learn from variety than to not try and say I should have tried. I also like to explore variety of places in the world and learn new ways to learn things.
What is your most important value in life and how are you acting on this value to achieve your life goals?
ReplyDeleteMy most important value is my family. They make a big part of my life, they actually are my whole life, I can’t imagine my life without them around me, they make me feel that my life worth living it. I have five daughters beside my amazing wife, these women are amazingly smart and beautiful, and they make me do anything for them because they deserve it. I go to school because they support me through my journey. They never leave me half way, they have always been there for me no matter what, and they give me the strength to accomplish all the big things in my life. They have been amazing people all the time.
It was great meeting everyone in this course. I am looking forward to working with all of you this semester.
