Learning

The biggest hurdle I have with learning is that normally when I'm at school, I'm way too tired to focus on my work. It's hard to focus when you are falling in and out of sleep. I can stay awake and enjoy learning mat, however. If I could learn anything in the world right now, I would want to learn how to become a sports radio broadcaster. I think this would be a lot of fun. When I get out of high school, I would like to go to college. About five years from now, I plan on being a very successful person in an electrical engineering job. It would be nice to work for a place like Plexus. If not, I could look up ideas on this electrical engineering website.

Web 2.0 Tool

The choice I made was the Animoto video. Animoto is completely free. You can present pictures and create videos. You can use this site to show a video for a class project so the people have a visual of what you are talking about. Overall, this tool seems very useful for presenting things in a whole new way for people.

Me as a Writer

Lately I think I have become a better all around writer. I'm still not a great writer, but I have learned a lot of good new techniques. I have faced "writers block" before and it's not fun. I still think I have improved in my writing a lot though. One thing I do well in writing is making good conversations, especially moving the tag around and not always putting it at the end. One thing I still struggle with is using more imagery.

The Country I Want To Communicate With

I chose Ethiopia because it is a really cool country. I like how they use the Amarigna, Oromigna, and English languages in their culture to communicate. If I could ask them something it would be, "How did you learn to use all of these different languages?"

Donald Driver Autograph

I get to see a lot of my family at Christmas time, but my grandpa and grandma normally can't make it. So, yesterday at my uncle's house, we got to have Christmas with my grandpa and grandma. I was very happy to see them. After everybody there settled down, we started to open presents. I was handed my gift and I opened it up. It was an official Donald Driver jersey, but that wasn't all. I've gotten a jersey signed by Donald Driver before, but this one was signed personally to me by him. It read "To Lance, Go Pack Go, Donald Driver #80." It was definitely one of my favorite gifts ever because Donald Driver is my favorite football player of all time. Now, I just have to find a frame to put it up in along with my picture of Donald and I.

Goals

My goal for the end of the semester is to have at least a 3.4GPA. I think I had a pretty good first semester, but it still could have been better. For the second semester I am hoping for at least a 3.5GPA.
