going to long island to go see my aunt

Today is june 6, 2011. I am going to Long Island to go see my aunt. Her name is Jackie and she is my favorite aunt in the whole wide world. I can't wait until we get to her house so I can give her a big hug. I can't wait till my aunt cooks because she makes the best food in the whole world. Then after we eat, my aunt and I are going to watch our favorite movie, "Dirty Dancing." I love that movie because it's about love and dancing. Then, I am going to say good bye and drive back home with my mom and my brother.

What can you tell me about your aunt so that I feel like I know her a little bit? She is a quiet little angel. She is not sassy like me. That makes her very pleasant to be around. She has a calming effect on all those around her. Maybe, if I'm lucky, she'll rub off on me a little bit.

This memorial weekend i am going to a party in a club me

my greatest friday ever

my great weekend

spring break

When spring break comes and we have vacation my older sister and her kids are coming to my house. They are going to visit me. I'm am so excited. I cant wait until my little niece, Destiny, comes so i can spend time with her and take her to the park. I am going to have so much fun with her. I am also excited that I am going to see my older sister and I will be able to talk to her and spend time with her. I'm going to have the greatest time with her. I'm not going to want her to ever leave. I've missed them so much. I call them everyday just so that i know that they are all okay. They are going to stay until spring break is over. I love them so much i wish that they would just move back to New York. When they leave to go back home I am going to cry because I'm going to miss them. I won't be able to wait until they come back to New York again.

When did you sister leave?
My sister left New York like a year ago
Why did she leave?
she left New York because she wanted a new start.
Do you think you will ever leave NYC?
Yes Im leaving to marriland when i turn 18 to live with my sister, so that i can be next to my niece Destiny.

How old is Destiny? She is two years old.

Dancing with Dad

My favorite thing in the whole wide world is dance. I love dancing. It is the best activity to do, because while you dance you move your body and thats a form of exercise. I love exercising. Its a very nice hobby. I feel like im in my own world when I'm dancing and its a great feeling. I love the way I feel when im dancing. I feel like I'm in my own world and that everything revovles around me. When everything is about me I love it. It is the best feeling in the whole world. It's better then getting a new pair of sneakers. It's also a better feeling than winning a million dollars in the lottery.

One of the reasons that dancing is so special for me is that I used to dance with my late father. Some of my most important memories are of us two, dancing with each other in his basement. We usually did ballroom dancing. We would dance step in step, holding each other closely. We would glide across the floor as the music floated in the air. For me, these are some of my most cherished moments. I can picture it now, us two laughing and having a joyful time.

As you can see, this is one reason why dancing is so precious to me. Remembering the times that my dad and I used to spend together dancing makes me joyful. It brings backs precious memories that I will cherish forever. Now, whenever I dance I think of my late father.

my vacation in marry land

This vacation i went to Maryland to go see my sister and her kids. we went to the YMCA. we had a lot of fun because i went to the ymca and went swimming with my family. i took my sisters daughter to the the ten feet she was laughing the whole time. I had the greatest time in Maryland. I was just happy that i got to go see my sister and her kids. I love my whole family although i don't see them very often. i was grateful that i finally got to see them. that was a moment i will Cherish for life. It was the greatest

Reminiscing....

This week my sister in law gave birth to a pretty little girl. When she was born my older brother was so happy he cried. The day after she was born i went to go see her in the hospital. When i held her i started crying because she was so pretty and she reminded me of my niece that moved to Maryland. i thought about much i miss her. I wish i could see her. i also miss the rest of my nieces and nephews. It made me think about spring break. I'm going to go visit them on our spring break. I cant wait.

regents week

This week was regents week. i didn't come to take regents this week because i thought i wasn't ready. So, i took it upon my self to say that i would take my regent when June comes around. Until then, i will take this time to study. That way, when June comes, i will have more opportunities to pass my regents. i think taking my tests in June will be a great opportunity for me to get better grades.

If i took a trip to the moon

If i took a trip to the moon I would try to do a flip. The way the gravitational rules work on the moon would make it much easier. Gravity is less forceful on the moon, meaning I could jump really high. Also, I would try to eat upside down and jump up and down in the air. The next thing I would do is fly around Jupiter. Then I would hop on top of Pluto. Then i would sing and dance around Uranus. I would just have the time of my life and forget about everything and everyone else in the world; no one in this world would be able to spoil my fun.

greatest brake ever

This Christmas break i went to my sisters house and i had a lot of fun, we went to my aunts house and we went to the movies we saw the fockers it was really funny i had the greatest time with my sister. For Christmas gifts we got money and clothes. One other gift i got for Christmas were polo booths from my boyfriend and i brought him clothes. Then i spent my new years eve with my mom,my aunt, and my little brother. Then new years eve i went to a new years party and i had the greatest brake ever. I am just happy that i have a nice family and a healthy mommy.

con information

Using part of your other 8 hours on social networking websites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter can build your human capital, but social networking has a dark side that can stifle creativity and foster narrow-mindedness if you’re not careful.

Once upon a time if you had different opinions, interests, or views from the norm, you were considered odd or maybe even weird. Then the Internet came along and changed all that. No matter how different you are, and no matter how strange your beliefs, you can find a million others just like you.

On the surface, there’s nothing wrong with this. No matter what you think or what you like, there’s an online community just a few clicks away where everybody knows your name. The internet is now one big high school cafeteria. Jocks over here, nerds over there, brainiacs back there, stoners over . . . uh, stoners?

Do you remember how good it felt to “fit in” to feel connected to a shared belief, purpose, or enemy (or how alienating and lonely it felt to not fit in)? But do you also remember the prejudice and the close-mindedness of belonging to a clique? The term for this is groupthink.

Groupthink is when individual creativity, uniqueness, differences, and independent thinking is secondary to the group’s cohesiveness and mission. The stronger and tighter the group, the easier it is for groupthink to rear its ugly head. In other words, groupthink is what happens when its members check their individuality and ideas at the door and succumb to the will of the group. At the extreme, groupthink is what is required for cults to form and function. See my related post, “How to Use Herd Behavior to Get Others to Follow.”

One of the main contributors to groupthink according to Dr. Clark McCauley is “isolation of the group from outside sources of information and analysis.” So how are groupthink and social media related? If I looked at your website bookmarks, reviewed your browser’s history, and analyzed your RSS feeds, what would I find? I’d probably find an eclectic mix of information (e.g., sports, politics, self-help), but would I find varying perspectives within a similar interest?

All learning doesn’t increase your human capital. If you limit your focus to a narrow band of information while sheltering yourself from other ideas and perspectives, you are preventing growth. For example, I’m into learning how to maximize my productivity and increasing my efficiency. For a time, I followed a very narrow technology-based view of how to do this. I read all of the “life hacks” blogs such as Lifehacker and Stepcase Lifehack and became obsessed with downloading the latest gadgets and implementing the latest tips and tricks. I listened to tech-focused productivity podcasts and audio books. I learned a great deal (and still do) from these websites and programs, but my mistake was not that I went deep into a topic (i.e., how to use technology to get more done), but that I stopped searching for learning new strategies outside of my narrow focus. Even though I was trying to build my human capital, I was actually decreasing it by having tunnel vision.

How to Avoid Social Networking Groupthink

Will you expand your mind and increase your creativity more by talking to people just like you or with people who are different? If you’re always nodding your head in agreement, you’re not exposing yourself to unique or contradictory ideas. Here are a few ways to maximize creativity and limit groupthink:

• Join groups and communities that are completely different/opposite from what you believe. You don’t have to agree, but try to at least understand their perspective and why they believe what they believe. If the O’Reilly Factor is your homepage, consider perusing the Huffington Post for a different view on the same topics.
• Become Facebook friends with people who think differently and who will surprise you and cause you to question your ideas.
• Read blogs and websites that don’t recycle ideas.
• Get into disagreements and friendly arguments by posting comments on blogs. Just make sure you do it respectfully. I’ve found using “What if we think of it like this…” to be a non-confrontational approach that can lead to a healthy exchange of ideas.
• The more you are a fan of someone, the more often you need to question their assumptions and ideas. We tend to let our mental guard down around those we trust.

Break away from digital cliques by using social networking to expand and enrich your perspective and to grow your human capital. It’s easy to find a million others who think just like you, but if those are the only people you are searching for and interacting with, you will be limiting your creativity and thinking. Your homework: Seek those different from you and ask yourself, “Is there another way to look at this?
