Why I want to go to college?

I want to attend college because I want to educate myself fully. I want to be able to learn more and meet new people and gain a whole new experience away from home. This video didn't really effect how I view college because I already want to go. I have wanted to attend college since I was very young. I have always had a love for the study of the brain and kids so I will study pediatrics or psychology. I will always have a passion to learn more and college will help me towards my goals.

Showcase Reflection

I didn't get any professionals, I got teachers and parents. I don't think it was fair that people who spent less time than I did got more professionals. I think that wasn't very fair.

Student Led Conferences

Student Led Conferences were very easy to do. We wrote a letter to our parents about coming to the event and we collected assignments from all of our classes to show our parents. All we had to do was invite our parents and show them the assignments instructed to. We talked to our parents and had a reflection sheet to do with them.
Pros:
- We got to see what our teachers want us to reflect on.
Cons:
- It was just our parents and us
- Some teachers didn't give us assignments to put into the portfolio.
- The reflection sheet didn't help with the conference.

Student Success Statement

"It's not about how to achieve your dreams. Its about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma (destiny, fortune, good luck) will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you." Dr. Randy Pausch

Summary: The whole idea is that when you do good things you can make sure that you are on the right path. You will have a happy life and a good outcome. You will be the best person you can be and make everyone around you happy. That's the base of this idea and this principle. It allows you to live your life to the fullest and the way to live your life to the happiest you can be. 

The Importance of Setting and Achieving Goals

The first step to setting effective goals is to know what it is you want. The key word in the last sentence is “you”.  It is what you want that is important, not what others want for you or for themselves through you. If you don’t want to achieve your goal, you certainly won’t.  Conversely, if you have a burning desire to achieve your goal, you surely will. Next, focus on outcome, not performance.  Don’t worry about how you are going to achieve your goal, concentrate only on the outcome.  Focus on your vision for the goal category.  Make your goals specific. Make your goals realistic, understand the criteria for effective goals it is time to begin translating your wishlist into a goal plan.

Student Led Conference

Reflection: The student led conference went very well because I made sure to follow all procedures. I made sure to tell my mom everything, and allow my grades to be shown. I told her I would work very hard as well as raise my grades. TO improve the student led conferences I would make it an option to come or do it at home because it was very difficult to bring my parent here.
