Your Journal
When you make a speech you need to make sure your audience should feel that your speech is put together well. But made sure your audience is really into whatever you are talking about. Make sure you try to use all the important steps to making sure you presentation is on point with all the perfect aspects. Make sure you try and use these steps read it out loud, sleep on it, work your way backward through the paper paragraph by paragraph, spell check, and proof read two hours before the deadline.
Know your self

Chapter 2&3
In chapter two and three it basically goes over how you should have proper communication with everyone no matter who they maybe. It explains the fact that when you try and address certain issues there is a right way to go about doing so. Not only that but in chapter two you learn how to cultivate good relationships in your social environment not only that but also how to avoid sexual threats. Which play a major role in college campus when it comes down to freshmen. In chapter three it begins to talk about time management which is one of the major issues when it comes down to students being in school. Not only are those but since many students usually on their own it is much harder because they choose to put their work on the back burner. It also gives many different ideas so that you as a student can stay on top of your work and make sure that you do everything that is need to function in school. I personally feel that chapter three is one of the chapters that I can relate to the most because I had to really learn how to put almost thirty different things on my agenda and still manage to go to school and work two jobs during my senior year.
MLK library tour
The MLK library tour was very effective in my eyes because it gave me a new and very much different outlook on our wonderful library. At the same time I learned more about the different rescores that are offered at our school. Within our school itself our library plays a major role in helping students find things that range from different aspects of the world. While at our library tour I learned that we can get books off line. We can also request books from other schools and libraries that surround our school. Along with that I learned that every department on campuses has different sections on the libraries website that helps you find what best fits what you might be looking for or something that maybe of help for whatever you maybe in need for.
In class thought
In class we went over the finding facts about our class. We also talked about how important it is for us to complete our assignments and make sure we do it when it is due. It has been a challenge trying to keep up with my work because it took so long for me to get a book. Not only that but I have been trying to handle doing other activities also but I have been stressing over everything.
Me and my essay
Monday was a great day even though in my English class I was assigned a essay that so happen to be due Wednesday but other than that it was extremely easy to get everything that I need together to build one of the second best essays that I have written in my life. The reason why I say that this essay is one of my best is because I had to write about a topic that I had some kind of personal connection to.
Mime and mirror activity
Today in class we did and exercise in class were we had to mirror our partner. It made us feel like we were special or something but at the same time we felt that it was very interesting and unique because we had to do exactly what the mime was doing but of courses it was a bit complicated because we had no other choice but to do what the other person was doing. But it was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed doing the activity.
Ch.1 Your Journal
Your new life
* There are many changes that have taken place since I have been in college such as me meeting and being around people who are the total opposite from me.
* The most exciting thing about college is the fact that it is now my turn to show that I am independent and responsible.
Conscious Coping
* One of the most dramatic things that has happened to me in college is the fact that I have had to go though not being able to get the classes that I wanted.
* The fact that I had to run around campuses and try and get added to the classes that I wanted. * The way that I coped with my issue of not finding a class I basically just prayed about it and I took the extra steps to get into my classes
* This problem no longer bothers me but in a cases if it was to continue to bother me I would just turn to my counselor.

CH. 1 Know Yourself
My five most important personal values are:
Having self-respect
Being a part of a more spiritual family when I am away from home
Having someone who truly cares for me
Keeping my whole family together
Being well educated
The way that I got my values were passed down to me from my mom when I was a very young child. I would have to say that the main reason why it seems that I have very strong values is mainly because of my mom and the way that she has taught me to respect myself and other people.

Prologue Review Questions
1. Some challenges that I have faced transitioning into college would have to be the fact that I was leaving my mom in Los Angeles. But not only that I was leaving my friends and my other family. It has not been easy being away from my family.
2. Now that it is left up to me to do everything it makes me feel that I have to take responsibility for my actions. Talking to my roommate she seems as if it is much easier for her because she is from the Bay Area.
3. Setting goals are extremely important because it will allow you to do work and it will allow you to complete all work and tasks that you need to complete.
4. It is important that you take responsibility for all of your actions because if you don’t then you will be putting your life on the back burner.
5. As a younger girl I and many of my friends suffered from low self-esteem the way that we tackled the problem was to join this all girls program called Step up Women’s network.
