Blog Assignment # 1

Sports
Molded
My name is Kristi Jackson. I was born on November 10, 1983 in Los Angeles, CA. I am majoring in Elementary Education and Special Education. Over the past years I've explored my options by attending various colleges. In essence, I eventually moved back to Mobile to receive a valuable degree. My family is rather large, we inherit the gene of being profound teachers, principals, and professors. At a young age I dreamed of becoming a college professor/coach. My passions, and desires thrive around sports: basketball and softball. After high school I received a scholarship in both sports. I draw for fun, and I take pictures of nature with my spare time. My favorite quote is, "The Foot Prints". In my opinion, I am well rounded because I excel in academics and sports, which in turn will mold me to become a unforgetable instructor.
Unforgetable Moment
Randy Pausch on Time Management. is an incredible speech, because he gives you direct skills to obtain in life for your benefit. Mr. Pausch's video enlightened me more on time management. Specifically he speaks about ways on how to plan for success by using realistic goals and for filling them with out stress or procrastination. Honestly, I enjoyed Randy Pausch on Time Management video because he inspired me a great deal to work even harder on my journey as teacher.
Time Management Is Self Discipline
Sometimes we forget the smallest things can take up the most time, futhermore, when everything goes wrong at one time, imagine how much time is being wasted. I once experienced this frustrating issue, because I played two sports, I was working, and I had a full time academic schedule. I learned very quickly time is precious! Time Management Lessons is indeed a lesson. It explains what goes on in young, adult college students' minds as they enter college. Much like the previous page, Time Management Excercises deliver in depth information on prioritizing, such as watching television or talking on the cell phone when you know you have incomplete work that needs to be attended to. I will surely take in all of this information that I interpreted, because it was extremely resourceful and indeed relevant to my success as a future educator.
