What would happen if you found gold in your backyard?

Gold is very valuable and demanding. If I found massive amount of gold in my back yard, I would first determine the purity. Depending on the amount of gold I find, I may consider selling half to a company who buy raw gold and savage the rest or inform the government on my findings. Maybe I will stay with my first choice and keep half and save half. The gold that I keep for myself will be molded into a gold laptop cover. I would also share my findings with my family. Maybe my brother can finally obtain his gold plates that he always wanted and a gold bracelet that my sister always wanted. Gold is much more sufficient than diamonds in my perspective.

What would happen if you threw a piece of trash on the ground? What if everyone did?

The world is already polluted with trash and hazardous waste. If everyone threw trash on the ground, the world would be a huge land field. Throwing trash and destroying the only place we can thrive on is a sign of human neglect. Despite environmental policy that protect the quality of streams, lakes, and wetlands, solid waste in the form of trash, litter, and garbage often ends up in surface waters. More animals who roamed the earth million of years before humans would die due to the trash in the world.

My first day of class

My first day of EN 132, i was very craven. I'm usually a shy person and i'm not the one who join the class discussions. Dr. Welch is guileless in her teaching and personality. As i were thinking to myself about the class, i notice something that im not really use to. Everything is online, I thought to myself that im not fond of computer classes and how insipid this class may turn out. Then as class progress, i began to colaborate with people i never met before and Dr. Welch was the opposite of phlegmatic. Then i noticed how much work assigned to the class; now i'm sanguine about having to complete the assignments online instead of paper. After class was dismiss, i entered class with a vacuous mindset and left the class with a savant mindset

If you had to describe yourself as a color, which would you choose?

I would portray myself as the color blue. Blue is known as a cool color; cool colors have a calming, and consoling effect. Blue also mean strong. I am not physically strong however, my strength comes from my will and motives that drives me to overcome the meticulous of situations. Blue means important. I know I am indispensable to the world in some way or another. I just cannot figure out a way why I am important to this earth. Blue means peaceful also. I do not rage war against another person because a fighter is not in my heart however; I will defend myself if that’s my best opportunity at the moment. Jacci Howard Bear states that “Blue conveys importance and confidence without being somber or sinister, hence the blue power suit of the corporate world and the blue uniforms of police officers. Long considered a corporate color, blue, especially darker blue is associated with intelligence, stability, unity, and conservatism”.

What would you do if you saw a friend cheating--report it, confront the friend, nothing--and why?

I seen many of people cheated on test, homework, class work, the list goes on and on. Cheating is hazardous and it will not teach you how to accomplish everyday life. If I see my friends cheat, I will tell them (and I have multiple times) that cheating will not take you as far as learning the material. I scarcely cheat because there will be a time that cheating will not work. For instance, teachers are now fabricating a variety of test, like test A or test B. and if you are cheating from someone who has a different version of the test then cheating will only hinder you from passing. I do not let anyone cheat from me anymore, when I tutor someone I make them think on their own instead of me providing the answers for them. It will be only a matter of time once the easy game of cheating back track and place them in a situation that requires them to think on their own.

What would you do if you did very poorly of a test?

I always made excellent scores on my tests. There were times I perform very poorly on a test. It was mainly because of the structure the test. I would study more often for the next test and be more prepared. I would also ask for assistance to clarify why I performed poorly on the test. Most people are use to failing tests, im the type of individual that will try my hardest to not fail an exam. I would forget that I exemplified poor performance on something that I could have achieved. There’s nothing much to do when one fail a test except to focus more on the next test and make sure they do not make the same mistake as before. I make sure I do not fail the major tests like the finals or mid-term exams. Poor performance on a test is not necessarily bad; it could cause some good outcomes.

what's the worst a parent can do to a child?

Not everyone possesses the correct parenting skills. People are becoming parents earlier and earlier. Parents go to great duration in order to liberate of their children or raise them the wrong way. I think the worst a parent can do is inserting a child for adopting and emotionally abuse their children. Some people cannot endure the pressure of having a child, so they give their child away and expect that child to comprehend why he/she was place for adoption. Other parents abuse their children thinking that they are disciplining their children. Having a child takes great patients, time, and discipline. I had a friend who once told me (in his own words) “The worst thing my mother did was make me feel worthless and less important than my siblings, took no interest in my life, still doesn't and only bi*chess about my choices and makes me to this day feel I disappoint her every waking moment of her day! Thank god for my father.” My parents never abuse me or never told me I could not achieve in life. If only people take more time becoming better parents rather than throwing their child in the abyss and expect them to succeed.
