Why I want to go to college?

  By going to college i hope to accomplish the goal of finally ending all my studies and after that   go to  my destined career.I hope to accomplish more knowledge during my time in college. I also hope to accomplish more experience during my time there. If I accomplish most of these things then I will be ready for whatever comes my way after college.
  I am going to college for myself to be able to succeed in my career. I have chosen to go to college for my own good. If I don't go to college then there wont be any other way for me to get a good enough job that pays me well. I am going to go to college to benefit me. If I go to college then all the hard work from going to college is going to pay off after all. By me going to college will improve my education skills in my career.
  When choosing a college is best to look at what they offer for your career and also what the price is. Scholarships can help  you in certain schools greater than they can in other schools.
   It is best to give advice from other people who have gone through the college process. I will also get advice from counselors from the college I will be attending because they  have most of the answers.  People that have experienced college can also have the knowledge of how colleges are.
  By going to college i will achieve  my goal of expanding of my knowledge in my life of how it is to be on your own and gain experience in knowing how it is out there in the semi real world and not having to depend on any one. I will also achieve my goal of finally finishing my education.

How I learn?

I am a visual learner, which means I learn better when there are visual representations of what we are learning in class: such as maps,diagrams,and images. It could be somewhat difficult when trying to learn in a different environment. There is different way which I and other people who are visual learners as well can learn in different environment of learning.
If you are in a learning environment of tactile then its required for you to understand quickly. When the teacher is discussing picture what he or she is saying and then write down what you are picturing of what they are saying. It will also be best to be more in detail with your notes so that later that you back over it an read it you imagine what you were learning in your head.You can also draw what you think is going on in the discussion. It could help you picture the discussion more lively.
When learning in an auditory environment you have to put your ears to work. This way of learning is a little more difficult for a visual learner. You have to pay attention to every word to then understand what is going on.You can then picture in your head as well what is going on. You can draw what you think the teacher or professor is saying or also write to the side little details about whats going on and then later on go over it and see and understand what is going on.At times we would get lucky and find a map or an illustration in our book, which could really help.
Sometimes in a class room we would have difficult time going along to what the teacher is saying, it because we are all different in the way we understand things. We can all find different ways of going along and understanding what the teacher or professor is saying. It can all be fixed just by finding solutions to which we can go against.

Organization helps to not Procrastinate

         Everyone can admit they have had trouble with procrastinating in the past or even right now. Procrastinating can always be avoided if you are determined to improve the way you handel your work. I will tell you the different ways that I handle procrastinating and my perspective of this situation.
          The organization method I use right now is the basic way most people handle their work. I just have different folders and or binders for different subjects. It's very helpful because you have easy access to all your paper work and you know you wont loose it because it is where it's suppose to be. It works for me because when your organized it makes life easier to where you can find all the necessary things that you need.
           Procrastination hurts because you get so addicted to it that you start thinking that you are going to have all the time in the world later when you do it but the time flys and the. When you finally do it its to late. When you get so use to doing it then one day it will not work and your going to be in some trouble. Everything will not go the way you want some times so you have to be prepared and not wait until the last minute. This is a big issue in students,which will affect their grades in the near future.
            There are ways to fight procrastination that are easy. As soon as you get the work you have do it. If you do the work when you get it then you can get it over with and go do something else. It can  also help to organize a specific time where you can do your work then you would know that that's the time you need to dedicate in doing your work. Procrastination is not the way to do things it best to avoid it and dedicate time to your work.

Note Taking Tips

   There are certain ways to take notes that will help you have better notes. The main problem other people have is that either the teacher is moving to fast to the next topic or there is to much to process at one time.I will introduce different ways to improve your way of note taking. These helpful tips are certain to help you on all your troubles and doubts about taking notes.
   The main tip is that it is better to write down the main key points. When you write the main key points then you will not go through the trouble of having to miss certain things the teacher said. There would be times when the teacher gives you a clue of important key points by repeating it. It will also be good if you audio record the teachers lesson and listen to it later.
   Other ways of organizing your notes is by color coding the notes for you to see or understand the transition in discussions.It is easier and faster to use abbreviations when you come across something complicated.When you make mistakes on your notes its better not to erase it because it takes a little longer to do , so to save time you can just put a line across it. When there is something important about the notes it is good if you put a symbol next to it you will recognize later on that it is important.When you sometimes miss a part of the lesson being thought to you then you can leave a blank in the spot where you think it goes.
    Then there are the basics of taking notes which is dating your notes to know when you did them.It is better to sit in front of the class to better understand the lesson.Translate some words into your own words for better understanding of your notes.When taking notes the least of your problems should be the grammar and spelling of your notes, that can be changed when you rewrite your notes,which is best because it helps you organize it better.These are the best ways to take notes from a very complicating note taking class.
