Journal Entry 10 -- "You learn something every day if you pay attention." ~Ray LeBlond

Do you think this quote is true?
When we think of "learning" and "education" we sometimes forget that not everything we are taught is found in a classroom. Or that you learn more than just chemistry in the science classroom. Think about an important or valuable lesson you learned once. What was it? How did you learn, through the guidance of someone or through your own trial and error?


Class Work Today:

Yesterday you were working on revising your personal statements. These are due by the end of class today. They need to be printed out, name on them somewhere, and turned in to me with the original version.

When you have finished your statement, you will work on gathering information for your resume. Write down a list of all the activities you would put on a resume. You need to know the dates you were involved in the activity, who you worked with/for, and be able to explain briefly what you did. This will be an informal list we will reformat. Use activities from since you started high school first, then work back to middle school.

Types of activities:
  • school clubs
  • sports teams
  • offices held (president, secretary, etc.)
  • volunteering
  • club/organizations outside of school (Boys and Girls' Club, Girls Inc., Nuestras Raices, etc.)
  • Church groups
  • Community Groups
  • Work experience
...anything else that shows experience...add it...we can always edit the list later.
