Offensive Language

Some people take the NIGGA word offensively because back and the day that was something white people called colored people and they didn't like it. I mean even though we aren't suppose to use I still do around my friends because, they understand me and they use it a lot to its just something we can't let go, My uncle is WHITE and he thinks that he can use that word whenever however because he have been in our family for a long period of time, but I told him he got to learn and watch how he use it or who he's referring to at times because some people get very upset or snap out when you say the NIGGA word to them. One night me and my friends were on CAMPUS and we were just walking around enjoying ourselves and this WHITE guy came up to us and was like WHAT'S UP NIGGAS, all we could do is laugh because he was drunk for one and for two he had no idea what he was saying or what was going on. His friend was like dude you can't say that I"m not trying to get my A** whooped out here, he said lets go and the drunk guy got upset because he didn't want to leave he wanted to stay and hang around with us just because.

Whats worth knowing?

What’s worth knowing? Knowing about why do kids these days want to change their sexuality and wanting to be someone or something that they can’t be. Why do men/guys thinks they are powerful? They think they are powerful because some of them do what they want to and they can treat others however they want, but whatever they can do us as women are capable of dong whatever they can do so can we its not a doubt about it because most women out here now are ingle person making a living for them and there kids and there are men out here that’s single taking good care of there kids by themselves even though this economy is bad. Sometimes I believe that men try to under estimate women. I had a friend that’s from Africa and her father thinks he’s in charge of everything, like taking care of everything and the mother not suppose to work she suppose to stay at home cook and clean. But I feel like if she want to get out and find a job she can because its her life and this is a FREE country and she can do as she please without permission because she is a grown women who can make her own decision. With my generation both women and men work because that’s the way they were raised not to be lazy and work hard and in order to get expensive things you got to work as hard and have as many hours as possible even if it takes over time, going shopping and taking trips are what women love to do the most and my grandmother work hard to do what she want I mean my grandfather help out the best way he can because that’s his wife and plus he has his own business so whatever we ask for we get it, it’s never been a NO or MAYBE or NEXT TIME. With that being say men aren’t that powerful like us womenJ.

My way of learning

My way of  learning
My different ways of learning is...basically If I study something and see something more than one time then I'll remember it by heart because its something I see over and over again. I can remember faces but not names if they not around me, I can remember songs without hearing them if I listened too them more than once, sometimes I got to think awhile before I understand lecture. Sketching things can make me understand more an drawing. If I see it and write it down I'll remember without going back and look such s taking notes making flashcards or making a song out of my homework to help me remember . Annotating
things and circling and highlighting things also help a lot of people learn. But some people have a lot of different ways too learn suxh as just listening too something they'll get it right then and there they dont't need too the overhead projector or a book too take there's notes. I have also learned from my mistakes at I've done in the pass such as not taking notes reading my book or pay attention when the teacher is trying to explain too me whats going on and what I need too study for, but its like it never fails because I find myself doing the same mistakes when I get lazy I dont' want to do nothing or when Im irritated I just be like now I'm not doing this then I get to thinking in he long run well maybe i should of did that because if you do what you suppose to do it pays off and you'll have nothing too worry about it later on in life or whenever. My boyfriend and  family and teacher always tell me not too give up keep going because they know im smarter than what I am I just don't apply my self how im suppose too.
