Make It Happen-2012!

1. I want to spend more time with my family this year. During the course of this past year I had not been organized with my time. I am going to spend less time on the computer and doing things that are unimportant. All of that time spent will go to my family and me being able to be closer to my siblings and the rest of my family.
2. This past semester I didn't turn in everything on time, but I have been getting better. This semester I not only want to turn my work in on time, but also improve more on my work. Each six weeks I will make a goal on what and what not to do so that by the last six weeks I will have prepared myself to be a better student. Next year will be an even better year and I will have even higher goals to attain.

3. Out of everything I want to change, I mostly want to be closer to God. I want to have a better relationship with God and do what he has called me to do in life. To get closer to him I will set him first in my life. By doing that I will see what he wants me to see and I will change lives and be bolder.

The Ideal Classroom

My ideal classroom would be structured with educational displays on the walls and words of encouragement from poets. The students would be collaborating constantly, while growing their communication skills still staying on topic. High tables with tall soft chairs would conform with the corners. Bright inviting chairs would invite the students to learn new things. It would be more like them looking a random thing they were interested in.
