College Persuasive Speech
Summer is almost over and school is about to start. I can't say that I am happy to go back to school because that means studying for tests, finals and doing homework :( So, for achieving good grades and have a good school year I need to be organized & motivated and today I am sharing with all of you some tips that are helping me with this aspect.

1. Make To-Do Lists. Last school year, I've started to make lists. I write down things I need to accomplish and I try to prioritize by how important they are.

2. Keep an agenda or a planner. It's been almost a year since I've started using a planner. I write in there assignments, upcoming tests, finals, projects, school dates etc. I really like Erin Condren Life Planners or Filofax, but I think

    Johnson ChaunteTimeZappers

    I would prefer to do the things I really enjoy rather than the things that are important. I sometimes use these things to make excuses for not the things that I should be doing. I tend to give more importance to these things at any given time of the day, it makes prioritizing these activities that much harder. I always believed doing the easy tasks first and getting them done then proceeding to complete the harder tasks last. My problem is I get easily distracted with my zappers. Having taking this GS 1145 class has shown me how to reconstruct and use my time wisely. By using a To Do List will help improve me with using my time wisely. This will motivate me to list my easy and hard things to do so I can complete in a timely manner. In contrast with the Self-Assessment, I consider myself to be more of a morning person, so getting started on these tasks soon after I wake every morning would ensure successful completion. Also limiting contact with others while working on these tasks would eliminate the temptation to enjoy my zappers. I also need to set aside certain days of the week to complete these tasks as well. Now that I have a plan, I plan to implement it a soon as possible in hopes that my school work gets done and still have time for my zappers.…

    1. Make to do lists. This is something that I already do to a degree in my personal life, but not as often as I should. I plan on implementing this to help me achieve my educational goals. Lists help organize things by importance and act as a reminder to finish tasks I might leave behind. Personally when I complete tasks on my lists I feel a sense of accomplishment and have more desire to tackle some of the harder tasks on my list. I will begin to implement this time management skill with this class, and carry it over to block 2 through Gateway Community College.…

    Personal Responsibility Rough Draft

    Responsibility, on the personal level will alleviate some of the difficulties I cause with irresponsibleness, which deters my continuing education. Planning ahead is a vital part responsibility. It is the basis for maintaining ones day-to-day activities. Having a schedule and knowing when task are to be complete can relieve the stress of feeling hastened and out of time. “He who fails to plan, plans to fail” is something my father would tell me quite often when I was younger. I have found this out firsthand. Prioritizing ones goals can keep a person from losing track of time and losing focus. I am putting into place a goals calendar. On the Goals Calendar I have inserted the goals I plan to accomplish and by when I plan to accomplish them. Here is an example: Gen/200 by September 17th or Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice by September 15th 2015. As each goal is achieved, it is marked off; if one is not completed, I move it to the top of…

    Persuasive Speech

    PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as the military combat, natural disasters, terrorism incidents, or any major tragedy. This is common in the life of veterans and is the leading cause of suicide among veterans. A VA patient who survived in Baghdad shares his experience with PTSD and explains how he knew he had this disability. Many veterans speak out about this issue and describe their continuous anger, alcohol addiction, and constantly wanted to fight. They usually feel very isolated and distant from their loved ones. One patient states, “PTSD involves rocketing into extreme states of stress re-activity; in the form of terror, rage, and uncontrollable impulses, and plunging into equally extreme states of being shut-down—exhaustion, emotional numbing, despair, and dissociation”. PTSD is about having fear and anxiety, allowing veterans to rage with anger and different emotion. There are many factors to PTSD, which affects others in different ways; or example, using video games to keep them occupied, spending money due to the lack of impulse control because of changes in their brain, and even not obtaining another job.…
