CLASS:
In class this week we started annotating our work. I have been encouraged to do this my whole life and never really picked it up. This semester i started taking an online class, and annotating has been my life savor. All our homework is short answers out of the book and then we have to take a test on the last four chapters. This is alot of material to cover for me and so I have been annotating and using post it notes and my book looks like tried to kill it with a highlighter, but its working. Annotating has finally become something that i use in my life.
Also in class this week we did story boards, I have not done a story board since sixth grade when we had to make commercials for the novel we were reading. I think it was pretty cool to do the story boards in class because it forced us to interact with people in the class and we also had to really understand the text. This made drawing pictures next to the passages seem alot less stupid.
HOME:
I went to go visit my sister this weekend which was amazing! We hung out all weekend and caught up and went out together for the first time, it was pretty cool. we have become a lot closer since we had that discussion that i posted in the last reflection and i am really happy!
The conversation below is a conversation with my new employeer!!!! I am now working as a 1 on 1 for a child with cerebral palsy and I am one step closer to my dream job! all the details are all hashed out and I have my first shift on saturday!!!! I am a little nervous because its 12 hours and I have a lot of training but 12 hours is a long period of time to entertain a child whom can only speak about 20 words. I make creative ways to ask him what he wants to do and I take even the little signs as a yes or no. overall I know it will be great.
