School Break Day

The first week of winter break I didnt much. The first day of winter break my dad and I went to Santa Maria because my dad had some work to up there. It took us 4 hours to get over and the same  way to go back to Los Angeles. It was nice over there, much more colder and peaceful than LA. On Christmas week, i went to go visit family in Sacramento, my aunt house was pretty noisy cause almost everyone in my family was there on Christmas day. I was happy because my older cousin Keana and my aunt and i finally got to see her again. Later that week Keana, my little cousins, brother, and I went to go see the new Star Wars movie. On New Years my cousin and I went over her friends house. Unfornately i fell asleep early and didnt stay up all night on News Years. The next day i had to fly back to LA because grandma's sister were coming over from Mexico to visit. While she were there we took her to tourist spot around LA. The last days of break i finished working on my IDP.

Class Evaluation

     What I like about this class was the w3schools. I like learning html and also exploring the websites it self. It had a lot of features and it taught me alot of things.

     Some things i didnt like about the class was it was the same routine every class. But other than that it cool class to have.

      The highlight for me in class was learning html because it something diffrent than my other classes. Other highlight was the flashcard machine which helped me in my sports therapy class. The flashcard machine help me keep organized in school and also getting good score in test and quizzes.

      I really tried to do my best in this class. I did all the work and reading my life planning every day. Aswell as writing in all chapter from w3schools.

      I am reading and writing in my life Plannnig journal because it helped me get my school work done.

      I am commited to be a CTR person because if i choose the wrong then bad stuff come to me and it doesnt make you feel good.

The 10 Keys to Personal Power

Brian Tracy

Key 1: Clarity
"Have vision. Determine what you want to be, do or have in life.  Have a sense of direction and know where you’re going.  If you do not have clear specific goals in life, you are doomed forever to work for others who do."

Clarity doesnt always means you know exactly what you are doing. It means you know exactly who youre being and why. Clarity is power. The more clear you are about exactly what it is you want, the more your brain knows how to get there. Clarity can also mean to feel clear, sure, and stable. If you lack clarity that creates chaos and frustration. Those emotions are poison in our lives. In order to have clarity you have to take action.

Key 2: Competence
"If you commit to excellence, opportunities will always come your way. The harder you work, the better you get."

Competence means to have the ability or skill to do something successfully.  It also describes the ability to apply prior experience to new situations with good effect. Our competence improves over time as we learn more everday. Our competency helps us and others feel comfortable and safe. It inspire them to seek knowledge and skill. You need both a good behavior and being able to work functionally in order to be competency. When your confinence goes up, your competenecy aswell goes up.

Key 3: Concentration
"Make the best use of your time. Ask yourself “Is this the best use of my time?” before you start anything."

Concentration is the action of power of focusing one's attention or mental effort. It the ability to direct ones thinking in whatever direction. It when one is in state of concentration they only have specific attention to an object. You either concentrate on two things. When you concentrate on problems, youll have more problems. When you concentrate on good things when good things will return to you.

Key 4: Common Sense

• Train your mind
• think things through
• listen to your intuition
• learn from setbacks

Common sense is a good sense and sound judgement in practcial matters. Common sense is something a person picks up over time and experience. Alot of people say that we have huge amount of common sense stored inside because we havent used none of  it. Common sense is seeing things as they are; and doing things as they ought to be.  Common sense is one the most important because it helps us succeed. It helps people become more effective over time.

 Key 5: Creativity
"Except the fact that every human being is a genius.  The hallmark of creativity is asking questions.  The people who are most creative ask the most questions."

Creativity means using your imagination or original work to into reality. It is the ability to percieve the world in new ways and generate positive soultions.Some people are fortunate that their imagination was nurtured and grown into strong creative thinking abilities. Creativity involved two process which is thinking and producing. It requires passion and commitment. You will have to get out of your comfort zone aswell as think outside the box in order to get creative. These abilities to think outside the box will lead the future and will make great things happen in the future.

Key 6: Consideration
"The quality of your relationships with other people will determine your success in life."
"Develop the people skills you need to become a better communicator.  Take courses in listening, speaking, etc."

"If you were to learn one new word a day, within 5 years, you’ll be the best educated person in history."

Consideration means to be thoughtfulness and sensitivity towards others. You respect others and their feelings. You consider the need of others as important as your own. As well as stopping to think how your action will affect others. Put yourself in other people shoes. Think of  little things to make people happy. Take in consideration of the big or little things you have in life. For example, going to school, having a roof over your head, and having a meal everyday.

Key 7: Consistency
"Dependable, steady predictable work is always superior to fast spurts of work."

"Be consistent in your relationships, your family, friends, your boss, your work.  Be the person that people can depend upon.  That if you say you’ll do something you do it.."

Consistency mean sthe achievement of a level of performance that does not vary greatly in quality over time.Consistency is key. Having consistency is very importnant, nothing can be achieved with it. If you are lacking in consistency you can bring a lack of interest. Sucess isnt alway about greatness. Its about consistency. Consistent hard work gains success. Greatness will come for those who are consistent.

Key 8: Commitment
"No success is possible without commitment.  The ability to commit yourself whole heartily is the basis of achieving all success."
"Become totally absorbed in your work.  Be totally committed."

Key 9: Courage

"The fear of failure is the single greatest reason for failure in life."

Key 10: Confidence

"You only get confidence by doing things over and over again ."

Confidence is the feeling or belief that one can rely on someone or something. Confidence is basic key of leadership. When you are confindent you tend to do better, make good descisions, and inspire others. Lack of confidence produces opposite outcomes: uncertainty about facts and data, short-term decision making and poor support for people taking on new ways of working.  Confidence enables focus, builds momentum and inspires people to give their best. Your ability to lead people and get out of your comfort zone due to your confidence will lead you places.

Freelance #3

This past weekend was great. My dad and I went to a comic book store called Geoffrey's Comic Book in Gardena. At first we both underestimated it because it is a small comic book store and my dad and i didn't think it would have a lot of comic book. But when we went inside, There was a variety of things like action figures, comic books old and new, and graphic novels. It was pretty cool and exiting to be there. My dad found in the 50 cent section a comic book that is worth over 100 dollars which was pretty cool.

The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People

Stephen R. Covey

Habit 1: Be Proactive

"Habit 1 is the key to unlocking all the other habits and that's why it comes first. It says, "I am the captain of my life. I can choose my attitude. I'm responsible for my own happiness or unhappiness. I am in the driver's seat of my destiny, not just a passenger."

Being proactive means thinking and acting ahead of time. Not only is this a good method to avoid doing more work in the future. Also to prevent future disasters. In order to be proactive, you need to plan out everything. For example things you have to do or places you need to attend. As well as potential problems you may faced in the future. You can eliminate your nonessary plans and put more important plans. Like studying for a test or getting your homework done instead of going out with friend or a party. If You are proactive, you make things happen, instead of waiting for them to happen to you.

Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind

"Control your own destiny or someone else will." (Jack Welch)

"When you know where you intend to end up, you know where you are now." (Covey)

Begin with the end in mind means to knowing that you will finish that goal. Also means to begin each day or tasks with a clear destination. It about learning what values are important in your life and living accordingly. It starts off with an idea then you act or create  that goal. For example, you think and create in idea about building a house. Then in reality you build your goal which was a house.

Habit 3: Put First Things First

"Organize and execute around priorities." 

Everyday with do tasks we do or do not enjoy doing. Sometimes some of these tasks are so important that we have to prioritize these boring tasks and leave the fun tasks for later. When we dont prioritize and complete the important tasks, we wont have time to do the fun things we would like to do. You get a lot done. You are fairly labor-saving. We spend our time in certain ways because we choose to. There is nothing we do without choosing, although our choices are not always smart. We have the choice to work or not to work, to write that report or not.

Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, then to be Understood
"Diagnose before you prescribe."


We should take time to deeply understand the problem that we face everyday. It shows us how we can work collaborately in order to solve situation. Be willing to be open minded. First you have to listen, then you have to learn, from there you get to understand it. In communtion, listen actively before you talk. It all about understanding the other person – what they want, need and aspire to as well as what their motivations and mindset are. Empathic listening gives the other person an emotional boost they start feeling better about themselves so feel better about you and begin to open up more; you’ve opened them up so you can problem solve

Habit 6:Synergize
"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts (1+1=3)"

Habit 7: Sharpen the saw
The Four Dimensions of Self-Renewal: Physical, Mental, Spiritual, Social/Emotional

How to Remember Names

1. Commit

Begin by making a commitment — a conscious decision — to remember people’s names.

Don’t let yourself off easy, blaming a “bad memory.” Forgetting names is due less to a bad memory than to a lack of application. Tell yourself — because it’s true — that you can remember names if you want to and if you work at it.

Before going to a meeting or a party or anywhere you might meet people, remind yourself of your commitment. And recommit yourself: “I will make my best effort to remember the names of the people I meet.”

2. Concentrate

You can only remember what you observe in the first place. If you are distracted or if you aren’t paying attention, you won’t register the person’s name so you can’t possibly remember it. Concentrate, then, on 1) paying attention to the person’s name when you first hear it, and 2) forming an impression of the person.

Listen to the person’s name. If you miss it or find a few seconds later that you’ve already forgotten it, say “I’m sorry I missed your name. Can you give it to me again?” If you still have trouble with it, say, “I’m sorry, but would you spell that out for me?”
Get a clear, detailed impression of the person.
The more vividly you observe people’s physical characteristics, the more likely you are to remember them. Use all of your senses to form the most striking impression possible.
3. Repeat

Repetition helps engrave the name in your memory.

Use the name immediately.
Repeat it silently to yourself.
Comment on the name, if possible.
Use it occasionally in the conversation without overdoing it.
Use it when leaving.
Write it down afterwards.
4. Associate

Try to make an association between the person’s face and an image the name suggests. If you exaggerate the image — make it larger, say — and give it movement — have it slam into some feature of the person’s face, for example — you will make the image even more memorable.

Even if you can’t create an image for the name, don’t despair. Just by working on it, just by trying to figure out an image that goes along with the name, you have reinforced your memory.

If you remember visual images most easily, try creating an image based on the name and linking it to some physical characteristic of the person.

Imagine a ham that weighs a ton spinning on the end of Mrs. Hamilton’s nose.
Picture an old-fashioned car jack under Jack’s prominent jaw.
See margarine melting through Margaret’s curly, blond hair.
If you are more attuned to sounds, make a rhyme, associating the name with your impression of the person. Or link the person’s name to a song lyric.

Dave needs a shave.
Latrice is Patty’s niece.
Michelle, ma belle. (The Beatle’s tune)
If you are more comfortable dealing with sensory feelings and gut instincts, try linking the name to the impression the person makes or to a reaction you have to the person.

Martin Peck is a pain in the neck.
Suzanne Patterson has sweaty palms.
Paula is pushy.
All this takes time and energy and that’s the point. It makes people feel important. It wins you their good will. And it opens the door to successful relationships.
