Role Model

Who is this role model?

Answer: My Aunt Hyacinth

1.     My aunt fits perfectly into my definition of role model because, she is a strong black phenomenal women. That is so loving and caring. This is a person I definitely look up to.

2.     I look up to my aunt because she is such a strong person. She has so much courage and strength for a person that raised eight children by herself and that is a widowed. I want to emulate her because she is a blessing to everyone life she knows.

My love affair with sound

David Byrne discusses his views on different types of music and how they work. Byrne expresses that space, platform, and software is what makes the music or art. Percussive music carries well outdoors. “Folk song style and culture” the instruments people use for this style of music were derived from easily available local materials, and it was convenience that determined the nature of music. This form of music fits the place where it heard sonically and structurally. Western music in the middle Ages were performed in these stone-walled Gothic cathedrals. Western medieval music was harmonically simple because composers hadn't yet evolved the use of complex harmonies. Jazz music was a type of popular music and was played in bars, funerals, joints and whorehouses where dancing was going on. Jazz solos was a pragmatic way of slowing a problem that had emerged. Jazz have evolved into a kind of classical music. Classical music did not only change venues but also the behavior of the audiences as well. Audiences were expected to be quiet. With this music composers know that every detail would be heard. Quiet pieces could also be written. Recorded music change the nature of places where music was heard. People began listening to music either on radio or phonographs.

Self-Assesment

My two greatest strengths are:
1.  Politeness because I believe in being cool and solving the matter in a polite way because politeness makes the matter half solved. 

2.  My second strengths is the ability to use my own initiative to take on challenges. I am always proactive at what i do and that keeps my mind simulated and focused.

My two areas for improvement:
1. Talking in front of crowds

My short term plan is to practice speaking in front of people I am comfortable with as in my family.
Long term plan is to attend  oral presentations classes.

2. Cooking
    My short term plan is to teach myself
     My long term plan is to attend cooking classes.

Insights about my performance:
If I continue to follow my plan I will get better in my areas for improvement.

My Life Vision!

Throughout the course of my life I would love to learn alot of exotic,fun, and interesting things. Even though I have a few of my goals accomplish, I am still not satisfied. I love broadening my horizons and learning new things. I would really love to learn how to swim, for the main fact that I was born on a island with 365 beaches and I do not know how to swim which is a disappointment. Also I would like to learn how to cook. Everybody in my family knows how to cook except for me. I get tease continuously by friends and family members because I cant cook. This is something I must learn especially when I eventually start a family of my own. I will not be ordering take out everyday its a waste of money. Eventually I want to learn how to do hair for the main fact that it will save me a ton of money. Usually I spend a 100 dollars or more just for one hairstyle. Another thing I would like to learn is how to apply makeup for myself and others. Even though I am not a fan of makeup, I would love to have the skill of experiencing and creating new looks. I am a fan of jewelry so I would like to learn how to make jewelry for myself of for even others. Lastly but not least I want to learn how to build and make anything I want to fix my needs and wants. Anything I want I would love the ability to just make it. There are so many things people can learn those are my few. Keep in mind that people learn new stuff everyday even without knowing. You even learn from mistakes that happen usual through out your day.

Experience

  From my high school experience I am most prepared in the aspect of personal factors. For the main fact      that I do not let life situations effect my work.

 As a quality learner I am  least  prepared in  the aspect of  fixed factors. I am least prepared because it is hard to change something that that cannot be altered.

 For a learner to perform well, they must have a strong identity as a  member of a learning community.           I  have to attend  and also engage in learning activities in college that is directed towards my career goal.

I use the strategy of  knowledge. I am adding knowledge with every word I read.
