I'm here because... "draft"
I graduated of high school in 2010 in Tampa, Florida. I used to life here in Richmond, and i always knew it would be cheaper to go to a community college than nothing else. So I decided to come back to Richmond and get in "sarge". I like it because is a local college, i life and work around here so for me is very convenience. I am planing to transfer and why not save some money on my way to that expensive four year college.

career path
"What answers do I still need to help me plan for my career path?"
At this point I have all the answers I was looking for, I have all the resources to find anything I might need to plan my career path.
"What questions do I really want answers to in terms of my own career path?"
The only thing I feel like it needs to be answer is what do I really want to study. I mean I know I want to do something related to Architecture, but i am not sure yet what specifically. I need more information about what every field does, specific jobs, assignments, abilities needed, money, how long is the whole career, and which one is the best university.

Updating my bad habit
This bad habit is going so good, i am surprise. Every time i have some time to do something i always think about my homework and what i have to do for school. And what is best is that i actually do it and work hard on it before having fun or going out. I think i am reaching my objecting here and doing pretty good. i had my dead line set up like a month ago when i saw that procrastinating was not going to give me a good grade in any class. the first couple of weeks was very hard to concentrate and stop procrastinating my homework, but now i feel much confident and i know i can do it.
Updating my budget
My budget is in a good shape right now, mainly because i am getting more money with my new job. For me this means that i have to be more responsible, save more money and try to spend it the right way. In this moment of my life i am trying to sell the car i have right now and buy a buy a new one... because of this i am not in a position of controlling my money to much, specially my savings. What i can do is save tours my car down payment and have in mind what is my priority.
Reflective essay draft
This semester in the class of English 111 we have learned how to get a clue to be good in college, we have got so much information that our group broke down into three main categories, which are Myself, College life, and Social life; we have learned many good things in each of these categories. All the information we got is very helpful and we know is going to help us for the rest of our careers as students and human beings, as well as in our everyday life.
In the category about myself we have three main things that we learn, the first one is personality. We learned about our learning styles, each one of us now can tell how they are, and how they act around other people, it gave me answers to questions that I wonder for most of my life as a student, this activity helped me found out that I am a ISTP, knowing this have made me a better person, I can understand other people’s reactions and way to behave around different situations, I can also control my emotions a little bit more.
Knowing about what habits we have and what we need to work on is good for ourselves, is always good to be aware of the bad or good habits we have so we can correct them and be a better person. The habit I have being working on is procrastinating in doing my homework. Before this assignment I did not realized that I was procrastinating as much as I do. It is a very bad habit to have specially because I am a student and I want to go far and do things the right way. Now days I am more worry about my homework, I put all my effort to do it before the dead line, and do it the right way. I just have to get my schedule right and get space for my homework, be responsible and work before playing.
A very nice topic that I liked was success, how to be successful, what do I need to be a successful person and student. There are a couple of things that we all need to work on and do to be successful. I learned that I need to work hard to get what I want; I have to start with something that I can accomplish right now so later on I can reach the “top of the mountain”. There are going to be many obstacles on my way but I have to put them on the side and keep going. Always doing what is right and do it at the right time.
College life is a wide topic to talk about; I learned where all the resources were here at J. sergeant Reynolds, there is a place to go for each different thing, we have advising options, financial aid opportunities for every single student, we also have the college’s web site where we can find jobs, requirements for our careers and majors, we have an email where we can get in contact with our professors and many more things. We also have a big library and many computers for research or just go and do a project, print out assignments and do your homework. How or what we need to do to transfer to another college if that is what I want to do; we even have a game room to go and relax for a while after a hard day of school. We have so many resources and opportunities to be successful and good student, have a responsible and organized student life and help management my time as a student, as a worker, as a girlfriend, as a friend, as a daughter, this is something that is helping me for the rest of my life.
Social life, this class helped me to be more social, met more people and interact with them. Few months ago I would not get together with my classmates and study, but this class changed that fact of me, now, today I am seating in a study room in a library with four of my classmates, and it feels good to be able to count on other people just like me, students and teenagers. This makes me feel better because I know that in the future I am not going to be as shy as I was before.
Organization in college is the key for success. We need to manage our time in a way that we can finish and accomplish what is more important in college and our lives. Do homework or study first than playing Xbox 360, watching TV or hanging out with friends.
In overall I enjoy this class very much, it was very helpful. The learning community is a great idea, combining the classes to help the students to do well in college and get more involved in each of our classes, where we are, and where do we want to go. I put a lot of effort in this class, and made sure to understand all the material that was presented to me to do all the homework and assignments the correct way. I worked hard and gave the best of me to deserve an “A” as a final grade.

cover letter
This is semester in the class of SDV 100 we have learned a lot and got a clue on how to manage college life so later on we can success and be what we want to be. We have got so much information that I broke it down into three main categories, which are: Myself, College life, and Social life. We have learned many good things in each of these categories. All the information we got is very helpful, and I know it is going to help me for the rest of my career as a student and human being, as well as in my everyday life.
In the category about me I have three main things that I learned, the first one is about my personality. I learned about my learning styles, now I can tell why I act the way I do with certain things, and how and why other people act around me in different situations, it gave me answers to questions that I wonder for most of my life as a student, this activity helped me found out that I am a ISTP, knowing this made me a better person, I can understand other people’s reactions and ways to behave around different situations, I can also control my emotions a little bit more and get the best out of my personality.
Knowing about what habits I have and what I need to work on is good for myself, is always good to be aware of the bad or good habits we have so we can correct them and be a better person or change them into good habits. The habit I have being working on is procrastinating in doing my homework. Before this assignment I did not realized that I was procrastinating as much as I do. It is a very bad habit to have specially because I am a student and I want to go far and do things the right way. Now days I am more worry about my homework, I put all my effort to do it before the dead line, do it early instead of later and do it the right way. I just have to get my schedule right and get space for my homework, be responsible and work before playing; now what comes first and realize that if I do not do my homework is going to affect me later on, and I will be the only one responsible for this.
A very nice topic that I liked was success, how to be successful in life, what do I need to be a successful person and student. There are a couple of things that we all need to work on and do to be successful. I learned that I need to work hard to get what I want; I have to start with something that I can accomplish right now, something easy, improve as we go and those improvements will accumulate and then we will reach the “top of the mountain”. There are going to be many obstacles on my way but I have to leave them behind and keep going. Always doing what is right and do it at the right time. Kaizen is the method we learned to manage process as well as routine. The idea of this method is to always pick the lowest hanging fruit so little by little we get the highest one. Practice and get better on what we do. Start from where we are that is here in college as a student, so later on we can be professionals and reach that success we are looking for.
College life is a wide topic to talk about; I learned where all the resources were here at J. sergeant Reynolds, there is a place to go for each different thing, we have advising options, financial aid opportunities for every single student, we also have the college’s web site where we can find jobs, requirements for our careers and majors, we have an email where we can get in contact with our professors and many more things.

Social life; this class helped me to be more social and met more people, with different personalities and type of lives. Few months ago I would not get together with my classmates and study, but this class changed that fact of me, now, today I am seating in a study room in the library with four of my classmates, and it feels good, it feels good to be able to count on other people just like me, students and teenagers. This makes me feel better because I know that in the future I am not going to be as shy as I was before, taking this class and getting to know my class mates was a great experience. Other students are also a resource to become a better student and learn from other people experiences.
Organization in college is the key for success. I need to know how to manage my time as a student, full time worker, daughter, girlfriend, friend and all the roles I have in life. The to-do list was a great method to put order in my life and organized my schedule and my priorities. I learned what comes first. It helped me to remember easier what I had to do, because my memory is not as good as I thought it was, with the list I had something that remind me what was next and what was necessary to accomplish the next thing I want it to do or I need it to do.
I enjoy every lecture of this class; each of the major assignments helped me in school and in life as a whole it definitely made me a better student. I think is a great idea that they put English 111 and SDV 100 together because these way students can combine what they learn and get an idea of where we are going. This way we can get more involved in college and do better in each of our classes with the help of our classmates and professors.
These eight weeks I put all my effort and time into this class. I pay attention in class and got the best out of each lecture and assignment we had. I went home and did my part as a student of doing my homework. I deserved an “A” as a final grade because I worked hard and gave my best, as part of this effort here is my portfolio. The whole idea of the class was to get a clue of where we are and where we going. Now I know I am in school with more years of study to come to be a successful architect.
