Dear Dr. Shelly,

I understand the whole facts and interpretation concept very well.
Incorporating facts and intepretations throughout my life is a step up
for me in becoming a better writer. I was able to give enough details
to the fullest extent in my narrative essay in everything that occured
that night. I know I succeeded in making my essay vivid for readers
by providing imagery to back up what I've said.I incorporated facts
as I gave detailed descriptions on each thing that occured. The facts
helped bring my essay to life as I explained the scenarios. Getting feedback
helped me a lot with my essay because I feel more comfortable with someone
my own age that can relate to certain problems I've gone through. She scrutinized
errors that I did not see and criticized my work to a certain extent that would
benefit me in my writing.

What's Your Stress Score?

A stress score is a basically finding out much you stress or have stressed throughout your lifetime. There are examples in the stress score that are given and the objective is to circle the number that relates to past experiences that you may have went through. For example, a few scenarios that were on the test score were "A Death Of A Close Family Member" along with the number one hundred next to it. If you have experienced a death of a close family member then you circle or jot down the number one hundred. A few other questions that were on the test score were "A Change In Health Of A Family Member", "Increased Workload In School", "First Quarter/Semester In College", "A Change In Living Conditions", "Change In Living Conditions", "Chronic Car Trouble", and so forth corresponding with numbers next to each scenario. After circling or jotting down the numbers you have to add the total numbers relating to the problems you have gone through. Individuals with scores of 300 or higher have a high health risk meaning their stress level is very high. Individuals scoring between 150 and 300 points have about a 50-50 chance of serious health change within two years meaning there's a possibility that your stress level is going to be high. Lastly, individuals scoring below 150 have a 1-in-3 chance of serious health change. After completing the stress score and adding up the total amount I realized I have a a higher health risk. My score was 799. I knew my stress level was going to be high but I wasnt expecting my score to be that high. Realizing how high my score was I decided to go about certain situations differently. Relaxing more and just realizing how high my stress score is will hopefully lower my stress level. Incocnlusion, my stress score will be something I will take with me for life.

Classroom Behavior

Three things that bother me about the way people behave in classrooms are:
1)Loud Talking
2)Playing
3)Bullying

College_Writing

My name is Shaquille Davenport. I am an African American muslim male with tons of ambition. I have three brothers and four sisters. My goals in life are to finish school and persue my career in something I am truly interested in. As of now I am still undecided due to the fact that I have multiple majors I am interested in. I would love to become a surgeon, but Journalism is something I could see myself persuing due to my passion for writing. I question myself daily like would I actually be happy knowing that I wanted to become a surgeon my whole life but chose something Journalism just living in the moment? My purpose in life is to be an arcetype for brothers and sister and pretty much guide them in the right directions in life. I am truly proud of myself for making it this far as far as my education because I know too many poeple who didn't finish school whom ended up as another teen statistic. Stress has always been a factor for me. I stress over the smallest things such as time. For me timing is an major issue because I hate being rushed. When I have to reach a certain deadline with tons of things on my plate I tend to stress. I abhor being rushed due to the fact that it messes things up. Nothing ever is confluent when I rush. I also stress over not getting a job done or putting my hardest effort into doing something. I like getting a job done knowing that I put my all into it. For example, if a project was assigned a week before the due date and I try to completre the task two days before the deadline then I would most likely stress over the completion of the project due to the fact that the project will not have my one hundred percent in it. Stress occurs when I have to handle more than I am used to.
