Favorite Place



One of my favorite places in the world is the University of Oklahoma Campus.  I spend most of my time at the campus, and it's a really beautiful campus.  There's a lot of activities to do here.  It's a pretty special place.

    I totally agree about activities, Nathaniel: every day I feature some campus event in the announcements, and some days, it is hard to choose because of all the things that are happening! If you are in a campus organization with events going on, let me know: the best announcements to include are the ones connected with students in the class. :-)

Learning Challenge: Happiness Jar part 2

Image
Last week, I started the "Happiness Jar" learning challenge.  I decided to write down things that made me happy onto the notes on my phone.  It was pretty hard to do, since this season of the semester is very busy for everyone, and it does indeed get very stressful.  However, the few things that I wrote down made me more thankful for the good things that happened to me.  I'm not sure if I'm the only one who experiences this, but I tend to be more happy about something if I'm concretely thankful for it.  The Happiness Jar reminds me to be more thankful of my experiences. I have more happiness whenever I am thankful .

Growth Mindset: Motto

Image
Always as a child, I've been conditioned to always make straight A's because it will "give me a good job".  Growing up, I didn't pay too much attention to making good grades, but now, I see that my parents just wanted the best for my future.  I read stories of people in poverty who struggle each and every day wondering how they're going to pay off the house or even feed their own family, and that really sucks and is unfortunate.  I definitely never want to have to put my family in that situation.  So while the meme is talking about money, it really has a deeper meaning.  Money isn't always greeding to have.  As long as you don't base your life around money, money is an amazing tool to have.  In my case, I view money to take care of my family and make sure that my family is secure.  In order to do that, I have to do well in school, and so that is a big inspiration for me to do well.
