WeekTwo

As I was reading this week's chapter, I started to look deeper into my personality. I began to realize more about myself than I knew, and the people I surround myself with. For instance, I noticed that I have more of a creator mindset than those who have a victim mindset. For years, I just thought I would over think situations, but it was just me wanting to get things accomplished while trying to figure the best option. As an example, it is my sister's wedding this Saturday, and she is concerned about it raining for photos. I simply told her to call her photographers about options of indoor places to take photos. Instead of her stressing out, I wanted to figure out all our options as a plan B.  As her sister, it is important is to relieve some stress for her big day.  

 I believe that everyone has a choice in life, and it is up to them to choose as they will. I know that all my choices in life may have a negative or positive outcome. This is why I find it necessary to think things through carefully. Now, on the other hand, my boyfriend thinks on impulse. I feel like I have to be his voice of reason and knock some sense into him!  


I try my best to stay positive, but there are days where things seem to be very frustrating and everything is going wrong. I know I am not perfect, but it can seem impossible to get through it with a creative mindset. I ask you as the reader, what are some ways you came out a situation with a creative mindset?

    Hi Amanda, great Blog! I can also relate to having a better mindset then my sister as well. I mentioned in my Blog that in my work environment, it can be a little overwhelming with nonsense; and I have mastered not to associate myself with their nonsense. However my sister on the other hand takes everything to the heart! For example, a couple weeks ago we both worked registration and there was a rumor that my sister stole a special pen from someone. Keep in mind there were hundreds of parents and kids coming in to register for school. This person was telling everyone that she was upset and she demanded to get the pen back. My sister swore she had no idea what pen she was talking about and was upset that everyone knew that she was a pen stealer! When my sister explained that rumor I laughed so hard and I told her "why are you stressing over a pen?" I told her to brush it off or simply say "one out of a thousand parents could have taken it and apologize for the loss of her pen." My sister later laughed about the whole thing even until now!

    Hello Amanda! The situation with your sister is a great example of a Creator Mind. I usually evaluate the situation to find a positive outcome. I also ask my self, “what’s the worst it can happen”.

Week Four

     For the past two weeks, I have been battling a cold that won't go away; it has been a real struggle to stay focused on my school work after a long day of work.  Along with fighting a cold, I started the Business Management program Thursday night.  For the next four weeks, I will be overwhelmed by the number of assignments. However, I know I will be able to get through it by taking it one day at a time. I just wish this cold would stop driving me insane!      Since I started this class, I no longer dread writing papers; I became more confident within each paper I wrote. I have taken Mrs. Aggen's advice of placing the errors I previously made into a separate folder. Between looking through my previous errors and looking through the Writers Reference, I have made fewer mistakes each week. The YouTube clips that are attached in this week's course have been another great learning tool to go over commas. I liked going over the commas that go in b...

Week Five

     I cannot believe there are only three more weeks until I complete this course, the time has gone by so fast! ACAD 103 was my first class at Trinity and I was unsure if I was going to make it. As I walked into my first class that Monday, I was overwhelmed with the thought of how many papers I would have to write; however, as each week passed, I became more confident and less overwhelmed. Throughout the course, I was not shy of asking Mrs. Aggen for examples of the grammar rules I was unsure of, especially hyphens. During class, I took advantage of the time I had, correcting a sentence up at the board; it was a great hands-on lesson.      When I complete a paper, I allow myself a few days for proofreading. During this time, I will go back to my notes and the Writers Reference of sentences I am unsure of. I will also space out the rest of the paper to focus on one sentence at a time to allow myself to read it out loud. I do not let myself to stress o...
