Public Schooling and Homeschooling

Public schooling and home schooling are two different things. When you attend a public school, there are more opportunities, more activities, a chance to be around peers and get one on one help with teachers, etc. Public schooling is the best way to get an education properly in my opinion, as opposed to homeschooling. Homeschooling can be very boring and especially when everyone else is at school your stuck at home by yourself. You dont get to do everything all your other friends in school can, you cant participate in the different activities and you wont be able to get the help you could get at school. I would much rather be in school. Even thought school can be boring sometimes at least your at school bored with your friends. Your friends make school worth going to, no matter how boring the school may be if you didnt have people around and you were just by yourself all the time, everyday, it would 10 times worse. I think public school is better, however they are both school and you get educated either way.

Understanding and Knowledge

Understanding something is like comprehending or being aware of something. You can understand a problem or understand the equation of a math problem or understand why someone is mad. People understand things they dont have knowledge of in the beginning. I could go to a teacher not knowing anything about what Im going to ask but after they explain it now I understand. When reading a story and asking questions afterward thats something like understanding what the story was about which is also refferred to as comprehension. Knowledge is knowing. Knowledge is intelligence. Understanding leads to knowledge and when you have knowledge you can go further than just understanding something. Both of these relate because they kind of mean the same thing, except with knowledge you already know something and with understanding you figuring it out or just now getting the knowledge. You can have knowledge about anything you learn and understand.

An interesting person

An interesting person to me is my mom. My mom is interesting to me because she is the only person I know that has had numorous career choices and she has a unique personality. My mom has been a sheriff, a teacher, a flight attendant, and a FedEx driver. She is the only person I know that has had a wide range of career choices and this brings me to her personality. Because she got everything handed to her and because she is the type of person that doesn't like drama my mom surrounded herself with a small crowd of trusted people which is understandable. She had more guy friends than girls because girls usually come with drama and can be messy sometimes. Boy are more chill and laid back and they definitely do not have as much drama as girls. My mom has the type of personality as mine which is the ability to get along with anybody. Even though she surrounded herself with a certain crowd she still got along with everyone. My mom is the type of person you can talk to about anything in the world, she's real and she has been able to be successful in all aspects of her life as one can see. She is an interesting person to me.

my most effective teacher

My most effective teacher would have to my U.S. History teacher Mr. Berry. I dont usually like history or social science classes, they were pretty boring to me but after having Mr. Berry I realized it wasnt the subject but instead it was the teacher. Mr. Berry had a unique still to his teaching, he explained everything we needed to know by power points, lectures, games, projects, and even outside sources. I actually learned a lot in his class, and I was able to take what he taught me and inform other people that needed help in that same area. I took a lot of notes in his class, and when I tutored this girl she asks questions that I could go right to my notes and answer. We use to play Jeopardy which was like a study guide that really helped me study for his quiz and tests. We had projects to keep us interested in what we were learning and mad eit fun as well. Not only did we have lectures and notes but we watched movies and had questions to answer pertaining to the movies which helped us learn and relax at the same time. Mr. Berry had a unique way of teaching his class and I think it was very effective for me because I actually learned and payed attention in history, thats a good achievement for me.

Not enough sleep

Not getting enough sleep affects how you operate in school and at work the next day. If you go to bed late your most likely to be sleepy, tired, lazy, grumpy, not focused and just not in a good mood. You can fall asleep in class and miss out on important notes or assignments, you can be grumpy and take out your frustrations on other people, you can be lazy and tired which affects your performance in class and just throughout the day. If your work and especially if you have to work with the public, you might move slower than usual and put yourself under a lot of pressure by dealing with different people. Dealing with the public you need patience and being grumpy may cause problems with customers or different people in general which may affect your job and cause you to get fired if the problem persists. I know not getting enough sleep before a test really affects your attention span from experience. Being sleepy is one thing but taking a test is another, its very boring and your not focused, just reading and trying to figure out a problem makes you ever more sleepy and you may even fall asleep and fall behind. When you have enough sleep, your energized, awake, alert and focused.

Passing the test

Study !!! Studying is the best way to remember information, however some people do not like to study. I for one do better by practicing and playing games to remember what ever it is I'm studying. I think you should avoid distractions and focus on the outcome of your test. You can take a practice test and have a study buddy to help you study. Practice problems are a great way to get use to a certain subject or area of study. Playing games gets you interested in what ever you need to study its a good way to remember things and finding ways to memorize them. Studying is the number one encouraged way to pass test and get opinions from other people who previously took the same test. On the day of the test you should eat a good breakfast, and the night before you should get a good nights rest and dont try to remember too much the night before.

Ending Relationships

Ending relationships isnt an easy thing to do unless of course you really just want to get out of that relationship because you do not like the person anymore, which makes it easier. If you want to a relationship you should sit down and talk to your significant other and explain to them why your ending it, and make sure its a good reason too. Many people make the mistake if just avoiding the person to get out of a relationship. This action not only makes the person look like a coward and look bad period but it makes the person its being done to feel bad. I think being honest is the best way to go, whether the truth hurts or not, there might be a way to make it sound better. I respect honesty even if it hurts me. If talking to them is hard for you then you can probably write them a letter but I think talking to them would be better. You guys can come to an agreement on the terms of your relationship and if you want to remain friends or not, it might be hard to do and its easier said than done but once you do get around to doing it, you feel better than having that thought and weight on your shoulder.
