Learning by HEART: The power of sleep

What is at least one thing that the article CONFIRMED for you that you knew already Sleeping is extremely important for college success. This includes both quantity and quality of sleep. What is at least one NEW thing that you learned that you did not know before? All nighters only help if you have to memorize a lot of content. It doesn't help you learn complex material. What is the one thing you are now CURIOUS to explore (i.e. something you want to try in your life, something you want to research and learn more about, etc.) and what are you going to do in order to act on that curiosity? I want to learn more about the the specific effect that sleep has on your GPA. I'm going to explore a few of the links in this article Article: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/13/well/an-underappreciated-key-to-college-success-sleep.html Sleeping Baby

Learning by HEART: Time Challenge

Recently, I have been struggling to finish all of my work for this class on time. Largely, this is due to the fact that my schedule is so flexible this semester that I have been procrastinating horribly. This is a good opportunity to review my schedule. In the future: I should try to have Reading A and my storybook written on Monday. I hate taking reading notes, so lately I have been skipping Reading B.

Hopefully this new schedule will help me stay on track. Losing track of time

Learning Challenge: Happiness Jar

A birthday party of older women came in and they were so sweet and fun to help shop! Saturday- I went to one of my favorite brunch places, Neighborhood Jam. They have great food and they make an  incredible  London Fog. The use a lavender syrup and a lemon peel to top it all off. It's a fantastic drink that makes me very happy. Sunday- Sundays are my favorite days. I go to the early service at Victory Family church. Then I make myself some sunny-side up eggs and toast on sourdough. And then I usually study the rest of the day. Monday- I had work again and then had a really productive day! Productivity makes me happy. Tuesday- I h...

Learning Challenge: Alike

I watched this animated short: Alike This short highlighted the importance of embracing creativity and individuality in a world that doesn't always support these values. This video spoke to the necessity of encouraging creativity in children. I was so sad when the clip showed the boy's color draining as a result of his spirit breaking. I love that in the end, it was music and parental love that restored the color to both the father and son. This short showed me the power of following what you love and emphasizing what makes you different. Be You. Web Source.
