Personal Reflection

1. Based on my understanding of my spiritual pathway, what are one or two activities I need to engage in regularly to stay connected with God? How will I incorporate these activities into the rhythm of my life?

By doing spiritual pathway assessment, I came out to be activist. Considering that I'm activist, to stay connected with God I think I should accept challenges and stretch myself in the service.

2. In what ways can I stretch myself to experience God in new ways?

Reflection

Today, Mrs. Gunther brought us 3 booklets. It was like a job finder which helped use to organize our matching job. I first didn't believed that this book will find a fitting job for me because I was not interested in job yet. However, they didn't just gave me a list of jobs but they asked us step by step questions. As I solved these questions, I got closer to what I wanted to do at the future. Finally, after doing all the question that they were asking, I got short list of jobs that I might have interest in. As I looked through my jobs, I felt really excited because all of the jobs seemed so fun and exciting to me. From this experience I realized that there would be job that matched me in future so I shouldn't give up what I'm interested or good at.

Reflection

Today, Mrs. Gunther talked about our individual talents. She told us that every each person have their own talent. She also told us that this individual talents can help us to find fitting job for us in future life. I first thought that I had no talent but after doing activities, I figured out that I had talents that I never even knew it was the talent before. Also, I told my friends what their talents were. They look quite surprised like me. This activity helped us to get one big step of getting fitting job in future.

Reflection

Mrs. Gunther came to our class and she made connection between choices and bible verses. There were lots of thing that we should do regarding to God's words such as fearing LORD and teaching wise. This reminded me that choice I make for college should not just be simple choice but much deeper meaning. It was fun having Mrs. Gunther as our helper for choice making.

Reflection

1. You are telling other people about your story so it was different then a essays that we usually write. It was interesting writing that showed my dramatic moment. I had a less pressure on this project because writing narrative essay was writing about myself. I liked it.

2. I wrote down all the random information at tree outline. From there, I wrote another written outline including all the good supports and excluded all the random, useless stuff. I tried to think in other person's shoes and read my supporting details. If I can related them to the thesis then I included and it if didn't, I excluded them.

3. For creating unique piece, I tried to put as much details as I can to make it interesting and fun to read. For the expectation, I tried to use varieties of vocabularies and tried using correct grammars.

4. My audience was teacher and students. I didn't use like oxford dictionary words but try using some of the SAT words. It was easy to write an essay with simple vocabularies but It was sometimes difficult to put some complicated vocabulary that matched with the easy one.

5. Personal experience and faith shaped my essays because I used example with it. This whole story was about my story so personal experience was crucial part of the story.

6. I will be extremely difficult because you need experience to be able to have a successes. It is hard to just get perfect at first time.

-Making Money with Free Blog
This article shows step by step how to make a blog and how to use it to make money. I'll give 4 for this article because there are lots of data but it is kind of hard to follow the steps. It will be hard for people to know right away what to do. Also, their are less opinion about it. Everything is just datas. Maybe putting some personal way to make effective blog will make this article a 5.

How do you know an idea to write about is “good”? What is the hardest aspect of making an idea a complete paper?

I know an idea to write about is "good" if I have lots of things to write about. Also, if there are many datas, it becomes better. In addition, if there are many opinions about it, it is good chance for me to persuade others to come to my side. Hardest aspect of making an idea a complete paper is getting shocking but also reliable datas. Also, making my piece all coherent difficult for me because I usually get out of topic that I'm writing about.
