Why should I care about classes outside my major? It's important to know why you should care about your classes even if it's not your major because you are paying for whether you got that scholarship and you're not doing good academically you still will have to buy them pack either by losing your scholarship or getting it taken away. What if I fail a class? Don't fail your classes because it will take a toll in the end by it making your gpa go down or being seen as you cant be reliable or you're not doing well in that class. You should do your best in any class not matter what it is. And you should learn from your failure take something away from it. Can I take a semester of only electives? I didn't know that you could take a semester of electives because i believed that you had to take at least some core classes to get some credit or at least have one core class and not let it all be electives.

Diving deeper If i was assigned to a project with someone like sylvia, anthony, or donald who first of all they are horrible group project partners. I would automatically just give up but i wanna get a good grade so i would try to split the work evenly and try to see what part they would want to do and if they choose what section they wanted i would help them with whatever they needed help with. If they wouldn't cooperate with the project i would tell the professor that one of the group mates wasn't doing there part with the project so that they wouldn't get the grade for that project. Thank You Academy,
I would first off like to thank Cody, Sofia, Jose and Justin for taking their time on helping me improve on my writing. If it weren't for them I would not have even tried to improve on my writing and have had a growth mindset on becoming a better writer. My opinion on writing is that it is way to difficult, stressful and it takes up too much time to do. Before academy my teachers would always assign an essay every month and I would absolutely hate it so my mind was set to no effort for trying on improving my writing and all I wanted to do was just write the essay and get the assignment done, but being here at academy has showed me that there is no end point for anything they have taught me to always strive for greatness and understand that we all make mistakes and we can change them. My favorite thing about writing lab and writing workshop was that I was able to get help with any assignment I needed improvement on and get actual feedback from it. I enjoyed getting help from the writing assistants so that my essays could be much better than before and I highly appreciate that they have taught me to have an open mind. One assignment that I was assigned for academy this year was describing Triple Bottom Line and how it makes an impact on the people, planet and profit. This assignment helped me recognize that we as a society need to get together and start making a change towards what we do as people and realize that the planet is losing resources and we need to start helping by conserving less and making better choices on our decisions. I feel as if I still struggle with prompts for my assignments still because when it comes to writing I tend to stress out and when I stress out I forget about things. Then writing tends to get more difficult for me. One thing that I liked about blogging was that I was able to talk a little bit about myself so that others could get to know me better and get an understanding of who I am, where I'm from and what I do. What writing lab did for me to help me improve on my writing was they made me understand better on how to cite sources and how to make a good essay, and they helped me stay on task and turn my assignments in on time. Writing workshop helped me on coming up with better ideas for my essay and they helped me stay on task and they also helped me with anything that I might've made a mistake on. I really enjoyed on having the writing assistants around they made me feel that I have made a huge progression on my writing and that I could get anything done if I just stick my mind to it. They have helped me with my concerns on learning by making me have an open mind towards any ideas and make me understand on what mistakes I have made on my writing and if I really need this piece in my essay, so revision was a big help for me. Thank you Upward Bound for an amazing year 1 experience and I plan on continuing on keeping and open mind towards all of my writing. What I think that I am struggling with my writing right now is trying to come up with ideas and keeping them in mind. I believe that I am struggling with ideas because I have a lot of things going on my mind right now and I may be stressing over all the projects, I feel as if there is a lot of pressure on me when i'm writng and I can't concentrate or think. I also feel since I may be stressing over all my projects I have a difficult time trying to remember all of my ideas and trying to collaborate them all together.
People, Planet and Profit
Nancy Leon Northern Arizona University In this generation most companies focus more on money and not on how we are taking care of the people or the planet, that is why more companies should rely on having a sustainable system and run it as a Triple Bottom Line company. The Triple Bottom Line is a way of doing business by having an equilibrium between the people, planet and profit. Companies that do use the Triple Bottom Line make a huge impact on “us” the people the planet and still make a profit from their organization. A few companies that do support the TBL and maintain a sustainable company include Toms, Patagonia, Me to We, Hand in Hand, Wholes Food Market and I Want to Be. These companies have helped give back to people, they maintain a sustainable business and there profit is doing well. They also give an equilibrium towards the people, planet and profit. Toms: Toms is an organization that wants to help address need in advance health, education and economic opportunity for children and their communities around the world. Toms logo is “One for One” in which means that from any product you purchase from Toms you give something back to a child in need or the community. According to fastcompany.com “Founder Blake Mycoskie has set out to save the world with his “One-for-One” tagline.” For a generation raised on instant gratification that the option of making a purchase and being able to give back became a major success for the “One-for-One” model. According to entrepreneur.com “You must do good for your brand to do well with millenials.” Overall Toms is supporting the Triple Bottom Line by helping the people the planet and making a profit from giving back to others.

What I enjoyed about parent day was that I got the opportunity to present about my service learning. When I went up to present about my service learning it made me realize that I am really helping my community by volunteering at The Peaks and helping the people that need help. I also enjoyed how well my group and I did on our presentations because at the beginning of our presentation I thought that we would all as a group do a horrible job and not do good such as we would mess up the whole time or we just would be disorganized and nothing would've fallen into place. At the end of presentation everything turned out well and I felt very satisfied with myself because I felt more confident and better about going up and presenting my speech. What did you dislike? One thing that I disliked about presentations was that we the students had to stand up the whole entire time and the room was really crowded so there was no space to have much movement. When I went up to present for the parents it was very difficult for me to walk around because the whole room was crowded so I felt like as if I was in a box the whole time I was presenting, but other than that I enjoyed the presentations. Do you think you're ready for the final presentation? I believe that I am ready for my final presentation. I feel that I feel more confident than I did at the beginning of the academy. I see that i have improved very much and that academy is really helping me with my writing and speech. My first week of the academy was great and stressful. I had a great week for my first week because I got to meet new people and have more independence for myself, I also got really stressed out the first week because the teachers were handing out homework almost every day and I was not used to being assigned so much homework in a week and I felt as if I wasn't gonna be able to finish all my work but I put my mind to my work and I finished all my work. Some of my expectations for the academy was getting the opportunity to meet new people and feel like I was home. One thing that I learned the first week of academy was Triple Bottom Line and how it affects us people, the environment and profit. I did assume that the academy was going to be a lot for my plate because it is something new but then I saw that it is preparing me for the next step in my life. There are a few areas I am struggling mainly trying to finish all of my homework while still being able to have fun and hang out with my friends, I can try to work harder and pay attention more so that I don't struggle so much about my work.
