Indian Epics

Assignments I think that I am most excited to see the different types of writing styles that my classmates come up with. I am also just a little nervous about projects, they give me slight anxiety because even though I am no artist I am a perfectionist at heart. I think I would more likely do the extra reading if it came down to it. I am VERY excited about the readings just from reading the few storybooks of past students and be able to compare them to the stories that I read in my Gods and Hero's in Art class that I took two years ago here. I really enjoy the aspect of having absolute control of how this class works. Which is something that you really don't get to experience in a traditional classroom setting.  I am nervous but also excited to see how this class will pan out.  Nervous Excitement Source: Flickr  

Growth Mindset Source: Flickr Ehh....the growth mindset. I am not sure how much I like it. I like the concept of it. The feel good " if you put good out in the world you'll get good back". I am just not sure how accurate that is for everyone some children thrive off praise and it makes them want to do better like when your parents say "I'm proud of you". They say I'm proud of YOU not some process because you already know how much it took to get there. But I also like that it says intelligence is something that has no bounds and can be obtained. My soccer coach used to say " hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard", which is true if you really work at something you can pass the person that was naturally gifted.  I think their is little harm in praising the process but I also think you should reward the person as well. It should be a balance between both.

About Me I am a Capricorn, born on January 11th. I am currently majoring in Biology. After undergrad I will be getting my masters in HR and then going to medical school. Talking about myself so I asked my family and friends to describe me. I love to cook, I played soccer in high school and also ran cross country. I did this horrible thing where I decided to take Latin as my language of choice. I still have mixed reviews about it. I am obsessed with candles especially citrus and fresh cotton or laundry smells. I unfortunately am not a trust fund baby so with that being said I work at Walgreen's and I used to be a resident advisor. I have just recently picked up a job bar-tending. I love my friends like they are my family. I love to dance. I am also a Christian. I don't particularity like going out much. I am a twitter addict. Hard -working and goal oriented. I LOVE children but am or may not want one. My sister thinks that I am loving, caring, very caring, compassionate,...

Story Books Motherhood- MotherHood I think that the introduction was really well written. The poem aspect really allowed myself to feel what the stories would entail. The story of the two sisters slightly reminded me of the story of Moses I believed being sent down the river. I like that the perspective is on the mother its like seeing the main story but not from the protagonist. I did not feel as much of a connection to these stories because I am not a mother but it allowed me to see how much mothers are willing to sacrifice for children. Although extreme I believe that the two sisters story really shows a mothers fear of how their child will grow up in the world. Krishna- Krishna I really appreciate the quirkiness of how the author made Krishna show himself as outside of time. I also like how this story makes me think of my favorite children's show Avatar the Last Airbender. I also really appreciate how the story is being written not as if I am reading a book that is...

Favorite Place As you can probably tell my favorite place is the University of Oklahoma. I am not really sure why this is my favorite but when I starting thinking about where my favorite place might be this place was the only thing I could think of besides sleep. I think this might be my little special place because this was where I got my first glimpse into adult life and I also got to decide what I was doing and not someone else making my choices for me. I got to be me and this place is where I discovered  myself but that's what college is supposed to do right. University of Oklahoma- Bizzell Memorial Library Source:  Flickr
