MY EXPERIENCE ON MY BLOG

THIS EXERCISE WAS A VERY FUN ONE. I GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE INTERESTING AND FUNNY FACTS TO MY PEERS, I GOT THE CHANCE TO ENLIGHTEN THEIR MINDS A LITTLE AND TO EXPRESS MYSELF FREE, BUT YET KEEP IT PROFESSIONAL! IT WAS ALSO EDUCATIONAL BECAUSE IT WAS A SCHOOL ASSIGNMENT AND I LEARNT TO USE A LITTLE MORE TECHNOLOGY! 

I AM GRATEFUL TO MS. COOPER FOR GIVING US THIS EXERCISE AND KEEP BEING THAT VIBRANT, OUTGOING, EASY GOING PERSON THAT YOU ARE. REAL TEACHERS MAKE IT EASY TO SPEAK TO THEM, TO LEARN IN A COMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENT AND INTERESTING WAYS THAT STUDENT WILL REMEMBER THE EXERCISE AND I FELT THAT THIS WAS BEING DONE IN YOUR CLASS! 

HOW TO TELL IF YOU ARE A REAL TEACHER....WINK:p (Not rude, but humorous)

Real teachers grade papers in the car, during commercials, in faculty meetings, in the bathroom, and (at the end of the six weeks) have been seen grading in church.

Real teachers cheer when they hear April 1 does not fall on a school day.

Real teachers clutch a pencil while thinking and make notes in the margins of books.

Real teachers can't walk past a crowd of kids without straightening up the line.

Real teachers never sit down without first checking the seat of the chair.

Real teachers have disjointed necks from writing on boards without turning their backs on the class.

Real teachers are written up in medical journals for the size and elasticity of kidneys and bladders.

Real teachers have been timed gulping down a full lunch in 2 minutes, 18 seconds. Master teachers can eat faster than that.

Real teachers can predict exactly which parents will show up at Open House.

Read teachers volunteer for hall duty on days faculty meetings are scheduled.

Real teachers never teach the conjugations of lie and lie to their students.

Real teachers know it is better to seek forgiveness than ask permission.

Real teachers know the best end of semester lesson plans can come from Blockbuster.

Real teachers never take grades after Wednesday of the last week of the six weeks.

Real teachers never assign research papers on the last six weeks or essays on final exams.

Real teachers know the shortest distance and the length of travel time from their classroom to the office.

Read teachers can "sense" gum.

Real teachers know the difference among what must be graded, what ought to be graded, and what probably should never again see the light of day.

Real teachers are solely responsible for the destruction of the rain forest.

Real teachers have their best conferences in the parking lot.

Real teachers have never heard an original excuse.

Real teachers buy Excedrin and Advil.

Real teachers will eat anything that is put in the workroom/teacher's lounge.

Real teachers have the assistant principals' and counselors' home phone numbers.

Real teachers know secretaries and custodians run the school.

Real teachers know the rules don't really apply to them.

Real teachers hear the heartbeats of crisis; always have time to listen; know they teach students, not subjects; and they are absolutely non-expendable.

Nicole's Note: I think this is so funny and I'm sure we can relate seeing some of these behaviors from our teachers. We should start appreciating them more, because they do a lot for us and we indeed make them have to buy Advil and Excedrin lol. Aye i do appreciate them although they pile us up with work:(

DETERMINATION AND STRENGTH...True Life Story

Full Effort is Full Victory

--by Eknath Eswaran (May 10, 2011)

Listen To Reading!

Gandhi wanted so deeply to help the world that he dedicated his life to siphoning every trace of self-interest out of his heart and mind, leaving them pure, radiantly healthy, and free to love. It took him nearly twenty years to gain such control of his thinking process, but with every day of demanding effort he discovered a little more of the deep resources that are within us all: unassuming leadership, eloquence, and an endless capacity for selfless service.

When he was in South Africa, Gandhi sometimes would walk fifty miles a day and sleep only a few hours a night. Even into his seventies he wrote hundreds of letters every week; when his right hand got tired, he learned to write with his left. Once, while he was writing a letter, the lantern failed. Most of us would have quit and gone to bed, but Gandhi, aware of how much his reply meant to those who had written him, went outside and finished his correspondence by moonlight. That kind of drive gives a glimpse of the wellspring of vitality he tapped every day. If we were asked to live like this, we would say, "Impossible!" Gandhi would object, "Oh, no. It is possible, when your mind is flooded with love for all."

 

Late in Gandhi's life a Western journalist asked, "Mr. Gandhi, you've been working fifteen hours a day for fifty years. Don't you ever feel like taking a few weeks off and going for a vacation?" Gandhi laughed and said, "Why? I am always on vacation." Because he had no personal irons in the fire, no selfish concerns involved in his work, there was no conflict in his mind to drain his energy. He had just one overwhelming desire -- an ambition that, like a bonfire, had consumed all his passion. This world-famous figure, who could have been prime minister of India and one of the wealthiest men in Asia, declared he had no interest in becoming rich or famous. He wanted something far greater, he said: to become zero, to place all his talents, resources, time, and energy in a trust for the world.

 

"Full effort is full victory," said Gandhi. You need not be troubled if you have made mistakes, or if your ideal has slipped away. Just continue to give your best. If you fall, pick yourself up and march on. If you cannot run, walk. If you cannot walk, crawl. Nothing in life is more joyful or more thrilling. The effort alone brings a continuing wave of joy in which every personal problem, every suffering and humiliation, is forgotten.

 

 

Nicole's Note: NEVER Give up in life, be determined and know that you can do and be who you want to be! Know that you should learn to love others, never let anyone put you down or have power over you, practice to perfect the proper uses of your skills, give your best, do your best and know that we all make mistakes but they only make us stronger. I personally take mistakes as a learning experience and remind myself never to do them again. Nobody is perfect, but we can strive to do the best in everything and never put someone above you or as better than you are!! Believe you are the best (but don't be arrogant or egotistic), believe you can do and be whatever you want and by believing, it will come through!! :)

Leo Baby

To all those Leo people:

 

Nicole's Note: Thought this is pretty funny but yet true! Be proud of your traits, characteristics, personality and always remember to be you and do you!!!

Mothers Day

Give them a little gift if possible. Yes, they may know that you care, but a lil reminder always brings warmth to the heart and a smile on the face!

Super Human- Chris Brown

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jT513U2Mjd4
Because this song has copy right, here's a link to the inspiring songhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jT513U2Mjd4

This song is saying that through his struggles, times he felt like he could barely speak, he felt weak, he lost his faith, he met someone who changed his whole entire life. Some one who's not human, someone who's truly honest, respectable and loves him. He fell in love with an amazing person, someone who's always there for him!!

Nicole's Note: When looking to be in a relationship, find somebody who will always be respectable to you, loyal, honest and caring. Someone who will love you in return! In addition, i interpret this song differently. When you feel as if though you are loosing your faith, turn to God. He'll always be loyal, truthful, respectable and care for you and that's guaranteed! He is super human....he cares for all even if they don't care for him; He loves, he protects, he maintains and HE FORGIVES!! REMEMBER THAT!! 

THE CLIMB-BY MILEY CYRUS

This song is basically saying she can see her dream, she can almost reach it, but there's always something or some one stopping her. Never the less, she gotta keep trying, gotta keep her head high. Sometimes in life you'll lose and even if you do remember there will always be another shot at something and you should go after it with your everything! it is not about how fast you reach your goals, it is having dreams and seeing them come true; no matter what or who might knock you down, what struggles you're facing, YOU GOTTA KEEP CLIMBING!!!

Nicole's Note: Never let anyone stop you from your dreams, never let them hold you back. Even it it doesn't work out, something else will come your way and you should take a shot at it!! You gotta be strong, you gotta keep pushing because there's always gonna be another mountain and you should ALWAYS TRY to move it! There is always gonna be an uphill battle, but you gotta keep the faith. Reach For The Stars!

CONGRATULATIONS!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSE OF YOU WHO MADE IT ON THE GRADUATION LIST 2011....YOU DID IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT..ONCE AGAIN!! :D

Nicole's Note: To those of who who didn't remember never to give up. Work hard, complete and hand in all assignments on time, study and prepare for all your classes. Remember, failure to prepare is preparing to fail!

TRUE LOVE, NEVER ENDIND-EVERLASTING LOVE!

Norma Tillett is the most amazing woman i know. Through thick and thin, she finds ways to protect and care for her children, she gives freely of herself and is the most kind hearted, loyal person to her friends, family, colleagues and even people that despises her. She holds no malice, no fight with or against others. She loves, she fights for "good", and no matter what obstacles she come across, she finds the will to overcome. She fights through her rough times, her illnesses and lives life as it comes. Norma- my mom is the most important person in my life and my dad of course lol, the person that inspires me, motivates me, pushes me to do good and go after my dreams and goals. I LOVE HER TO DEATH AND WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR HER AS I KNOW SHE WOULD FOR ME!! :)

Super Mom
Mom, you're a wonderful mother,
So gentle, yet so strong.
The many ways you show you care
Always make me feel I belong. You're patient when I'm foolish;
You give guidance when I ask &even when i don't;
It seems you can do anything;
You're the master of every task. You're a dependable source of comfort;
You're my cushion when I fall.
You help in times of trouble;
You support me whenever I call. I love you more than you know;
You have my total respect.
If I had my choice of mothers,
YOU'D BE THE ONE I'D SELECT!!!

TRUE FRIENDS

IN LIFE WE STUMBLE ACROSS PEOPLE WHO WILL TRY TO BRING US DOWN, HURT US, DISCOURAGE US AND DO A LOT OF EVIL THINGS TO YOU, BUT THESE LOVELY PEOPLE HERE IN MY PICTURES HAVE BEEN THERE FOR ME DURING ROUGH TIMES, THICK OR THIN.
YES WE HAVE OUR LITTLE OBSTACLES BUT WE TALK IT OVER AND BE REAL WITH EACH OTHER. OLD AND NEW....THEY ARE TRULY LOYAL FRIENDS:)

Enspiring, Motivational, Life-encouraging Quotes

http://thinkexist.com/quotations/life/http://thinkexist.com/quotations/life/

Nicole's Quote: These are people who've been through problems or simply want to inspire others to go for everything with "gusto", love life and never give up in anything. i personally believe these are ways in which trouble people can overcome their obstacles if they cant fine the courage to speak to someone. REMEMBER: FIGHT FOR YOUR DREAMS, GO AFTER WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN AND WHEN TRIALS COME YOUR WAY, DON'T GIVE UP BECAUSE GOD HAS YOUR BACK! HE'S HERE TO SEE YOU THROUGH AND NOT TO SEE THROUGH YOU. IF HE BRINGS YOU TO IT, HE'LL BRING YOU THROUGH IT!!!

My Easter Experience

So i chose to go to Playa Del Carmen with my dad and while it was a tiring journey, it was a very fun trip.
We stayed for the five days and one thing i want to encourage travelers about: when you want to go somewhere make sure you specify where ever it is you want to go and don't let the taxi driver (if you catch one) persuade you to go else where. We told the driver to go to the dolphin park and he told us it is expensive and don't have anywhere for us to swim or eat so he took us almost to Cancun and charged us $500bz and the place he took us was $1000bz per person to enter. So we had to take another cab back to the dolphin park where they did indeed have restaurants and a nice warm beach.
Me chillin at the Condo and for some reson my other pics don't want to upload but if you want to go to go to Playa, Villa Castello Blanco is a nice place to stay:)
