                “Tell me what is right and I will fight for it.”
                                      Woodrow Wilson
Reflection:
What I think this quote by Woodrow Wilson means to me is saying show me what’s the right and I will work for it. So if you know is the right work for it and if it’s wrong don’t even bother to.

Distance Education: Is a virtual classroom for you? Part 4 of 4


Distance Education: Is a virtual classroom for you?
                           Part 4 of 4
Emphasis on the Written Word
Most of the communication, as well as the course work, in distance-learning classes is written. That’s a plus, because the focus on the written word gives you the opportunity to develop as a writer-and strong writing skills are essential to academic success. However, if writing is a serious weakness for you, virtual learning may not be the best education option until you improve your skills. Yes, most of distance education is the written word; therefore, you need to be a good reader, love to read, and love writing also. Most of your assignments will be written and submitted to the instructor in written format. Your penmanship needs to be excellent, spelling great, sentence structure above average, vocabulary extraordinary. You need to have online access with reliable equipment. If your internet at home isn’t working, you can’t do online education from home and will need to go to someplace where you do have access to the internet.
Decide Whether It’s Right for You
Distance education isn’t for everyone, but it just might be for you. You really should seek it out and give it a try. You never know until you try. You might even fall in love with distance education. While distance education may be perfect alternative for some students, it’s not the right choice for everyone. So carefully consider your unique needs interest and give distance education a try; then, decide if it is right for you.
                         CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

Positive Aspects of Distance Education
- Independence and time management: Taking courses online lets you hone ability to work on your own. You also gain experience in managing your time efficiently.
- A flexible schedule: Schools can only provide a certain number of class periods in a single school day, and there may not be enough time for you to take everything you want. Because distance education lets you take classes outside regular school hours, it gives you the flexibility to explore all your areas of interest.
- Advanced and specialized classes. Distance education gives you the chance to gain experience in areas that would otherwise remain out of reach.
                      CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

Student Success Statement


            Student Success Statement
“You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.”
                                    -Rosa Parks              
REFLECTION:
What this quote of Rosa Parks means to me is saying that you should never feel bad or worried about something that you know was right so never fear to stand up for the right and if you are fearing something that you are doing is because you are not choosing the right so you know you are doing something wrong.

                                                    Part 5
Additional Tips
Although working and going to school is challenging, it can be a rewarding experience if you use some foresight. These tips can help you handle the situation and make the most of your time:
Discuss your plans with your family. Balancing the demands of school and work is easier with their support.
Start slowly; don’t commit to working a lot of hours immediately.
Avoid time conflicts by planning your class and work schedules as far ahead of time as possible.
Use your time efficiently. You can use 10 minutes waiting in a line to go over a few pages of assigned reading. If your job has a lot of downtime and your boss has no objection, you can use slow periods to do schoolwork.
If you commute to your job on public transportation, bring your schoolwork with you so you can work along the way.
Be flexible and willing to make sacrifices. You may have to cut down on some other things you’d like to do because of your school and work commitments.
If you have too much on your plate, admit it. Then cut back as needed.
Schedule relaxation time. Everyone needs some downtime to stay happy and healthy.

Marion Jones Reflection


              Marion Jones Olympic cheater
REFLECTION:
What I think of Marion Jones is if she would have done the things the right way right now she would be happy and proud of her own self without having to worry about anything but she decide to choose the wrong path and now she’s paying for it and no longer with a smile in her face like the day she won her metals and she also maybe disappointed her fans, family members, and friends.
