Thing 2

I have had just a few previous experiences with blogs and writing. I know Myspace is a little unconventional, however, I did blog a little on the social network when I had one.  It was really fun, and I used to receive lots of comments.  As far as writing goes, I've always enjoyed writing fiction, I was actually one of the winners of the Peay Read last year (2012).  I wrote an essay about my reactions to The Other Wes Moore.  I even plan on writing children's books once I become a teacher.  I just used my own real name for the blog, that way people could find me easily.  I also just titled the blog after the class, so if I decided to look at it later in life, I would know exactly when and why the blog was created.  Creating the blog was fun, but also challenging because our class went through the steps so quickly! I really enjoyed making my avatar, that was my favorite part.  I made my avatar to look like me, the way I am today, in order to preserve my identity for when I look back at my blog I can see my exact personality and opinions at the time.

Thing 1

The hardest habit to form for me is viewing challenges as problems..  Problems can overtake your life sometimes... problems can be so minute but seem so impossible, that is why seeing problems as challenges can be a challenge in itself. The easiest habit for me to form would most likely be playing!  I have kept a teaching preschool job for the past two years, and even though teaching is one of the most important parts, another important part is playing! I always make time to actually play with the kids at the daycare. I never dwindled my power of teacher away, but I would always play in centers with them, or color with them, or even play duck duck goose with them! It is always important to keep a balance of work and play.
