Jade’s Influential People

In life there are many people who can change one’s life. They can either change their life in a negative way or a positive way. A person can change it by how they act, they words they choose to speak or how they simply live their life. In my case there are two special that has change my life in a tremendous way. My grandfather and mother have taught me a lot of good life lessons.
George Watts Lassiter was born on December 14, 1910 and was raised in Princess Anne County by his mother and step father. He was the youngest of three children. He never graduates; he stopped at fourth grade to help his family with the family farm. He learned a lot over his long life and has passed his life lesions down to me and my younger brother. He lived a very honest life. He have always taught us that if you are not honest with your self and others your life will become a big lie and will not get you to the purpose you here to complete.
My grandfather loved God very much. He always told me that the only person that cancan judge you is God and he was the only person that you can really depend on through all of your rough time. He has always have been a hard worker. He has always held a job until he turned ninety years old when he suffered a mild stroke. He basically raised me from birth due to the absence of my biologically father. Every boyfriend that I have ever dated, I would compare them to him. He has never left his children without them being taken care of. I have learned that a real man will not rush you are ready and they will make the right decision and either marry you or take care of their responsibility and not run away from it. To be honest, I was the most rebellious, hard headed teenager in my family. I would not listen to anyone, I would run away, sneak out with my boyfriend. My grandfather showed me that my mother was not trying to be mean , and that she knew what was best for ne, Also, he taught me that if you do not honor your mother or father , your days could be shorten. He encouraged me to attend college. In high school, I decided not to go to college and just work a full time job so I could move out of my mother house. When he got sick, he was abused by some of the nurses at two of the nursing homes. It made me very upset. Also, the doctors tried to explains his sickness to me and my mother, but we had a hard time understanding the terminology they used. I wanted to make a difference in how the nursing home staffs were treating the patients, and also I wanted to understand the terminology that the doctors were using. I also wanted to know about the different cures there were out there. So I decided to become a nurse and I would later like to go to Eastern Virginia Medical School to become an OBGYN. George Lassiter passes away on October 23, 2005. I miss him so much. His death really affected me mentally and emotionally. My Grandfather was my very best friend I can come to him with any problem that I had, but when he passed away I felt alone emotionally. So being who I was I would shut myself away from the world. Still today I have a hard time coping with his lose but I know deep inside he is with me and that I could do anything I out my mind to. Pop pop I love you so much!
My mother Sandra Collins was born on April 29, 1959 and is the second to the youngest in her family. She is the strongest women that I know. She raised me and my brother on her own without complain about it. She never asked for help; she would find way to get what she needed. She is active in church. She drives the church van for those can not afford their own transportation. She also attends TCC to become a lawyer. She has taught me that I can be an independent woman and can do anything I put my mind to. My mother is very involved in my life. She helps me with my problems. She is more like a logical thinker she tell me the stuff that I do not want to hear but really need to hear. I love her for that
These people have taught me a lot. I cherish these people very much, especially my grandfather. These people made me who I am today, which is an independent vibrant young lady with a lot of potential and can succeed anything. Hopefully you will see me they way these people have influenced my life.

Multiple Intelligence: How do you learn???

What is Multiple Intelligence? Well let me tell you. Accroding To Mr. Howard Gardner is it different ways to demosrtate intellectual abilities. Do you know the differents types? Visual or spatial intelligence is what the names says. You are a visuual learnerl you like graphs and chart ,maps and videos. i can kinda related to this leranig style for history. The way i can understand the information that is in front of me i need numbers in a chart, I NEED DATA. A verbal learner uses their words and language yo learn. They are usually the class clown.

Theses learners are generally poets, writers, teachers and politicians( excluding Bush). The next type of lerarner that they talk about is the mathematical learners or as we call them in high school the geeks. Theses types of learners look at life and its problems logically with reason and numbers.They are good at catergorizing information and doing controlled experiments.(Which I dread doing) Theses are usually our Scientist and engineering.Do you like to move around? I love to dance so you can say that i am also a Kinesthetic learning. A kinesthetic learninh is someone who can control body movement skillfully. They can process a space visually and learn wht they have to do in a timly fashion. If you can produce music and really appreciate it then you are consider a Musical learner. My advoce to many people that want to rap... if it does not come naturally to you do not do it. When i read this article in class I started classfying people in my famil based on what they do. For example I told my younger brother that he was a Musical learner because he can rap with out thinking about it. I consider my mother to be a verbal learner because that how she retains information. So what kind of learner are YOU?

Generation Next

What is Generation Next? That is how society refer to my generation. The whole articles bascically says that Generation Next is lazy and that everything is handed down to them. But that is not the case for me. For example Mr. Taylor states that my generatin is heavily dependent of technology. That is true to some extent but we depend on it heavily because professors make us dependent on it.It was stated that students are describes as isolated within their social circut, cut off from academic and larger social life.(Taylor) That is not true. with the economy being as bad as it is now we have no chocie but to be involved in academic life. I think that if Mr. Taylor understand what we have to go through as young adults he would not be so judgemental.Speaking from experience, it is hard to be lazy. Everything is much harder: it harder to find employment, hard to find an apartment and be out on your own. So yes we have to depend on our parnet for a little support but we are not lazy. Mr. Taylor listed some characteristics of Generations X. He explains how students are searching for instant Gratication and search for the best deals without putting hard work into it. He also goes on to say that since Sesame Street we were led to believe that education is entertaining and comes easy . We are describe as wantinh a good grade because we simply paid for the class.( Thats not me) We lack the sense to plan for long term plans. Let me stop him there. I am a "Generation NeXter" and i had my life planed out since the seventh grade. I knew that i wanted to be an OBGYN and attend EVMS. I knew that i wanted to go to africa to help with the AIDS epedemics, so for him to say that is crazy he need to do some more research ao ask us before he print his opinion.

Metamorphsis

Metamorphsis is a very unusally story. It is basically about a man who does nothing but work to support his family. One day when he woke up he turned into a roach. His family ignored him and treated him like crap. All he could think about is going to work and doing his job. I am kinda of glad that his family finally got the idea that they had to do things for their self and stop depending on Gregor for everything. What really upsetted me was when he called his mother into his room, she fled and did not try to help him. If that was me I would have helped my child no matter what form that they were. I learned a valuable lesson through this story. I realized that i was a spoiled brat. I put myself in the place of the the family. I my mother was not able to do for me like he coul not do for his family, i would not know what to do. I learned that sometimes that i can be ungrateful and have to learn to do for myself. i think that the author just wanted to show the importance of family. i like gregor because he seemed like a person who cared for others before hisself. If that was me and i was a roach i would have freaked and would been like forget everyone else i am a nasty roach. He did not complain about him not being able to do anything for hisself. All he coud think about is not going to work and getting money to suppor t his ungratful family. Honestly if that was me and my family did not want to do anthing for themselves i would hsve left at the age of eighteen. I was able to take care of myself, when they learned to be independent then maybe i would have came back to help0 out a little bit.
