Angie Morocho 11/16/14 Should students at WBA be allowed to listen to music in their core classes? Some parents and teachers think that students who listen to music during their class time will be distracted and won’t be able to focus on the lesson they are being teached. On the other hand, some parents and teachers think that students will do well and are able to focus better. Both sides of the argument have good reasons but I believe students at WBA should be allowed to listen to music in their core classes. Music is believed to help focus better in their task.
Even if you think that you are the last person your kids are going to look to for advice regarding how they should conduct themselves, the reality is that your children are likely to emulate the behaviors that they see you and your spouse actively engaging in. A Cure for Teen Boredom? To help your teenagers stay occupied when they are not in school, encourage their participation in projects that will keep them busy and out of trouble. Try to get your kids interested in after school activities that are supervised by adults. This is particularly important for kids who are home alone for a few hours every day after school, as school sponsored activities will help children to stay occupied and will keep their minds actively engaged.
So in working with something that I am passionate about I can continue to do my mentoring groups along with other big brother, big sister type of activities. Giving more to others will become my happiness project for the month of April. This will be me becoming more understanding to others and their situations and whatever it is that they may be going through. In listening more and talking less when someone just needs someone who will be there for them.

They form bonds as a group together rather than being forced together. They want to succeed for the whole group as it is a morale boost for everyone to do well and improve cohesiveness. While on the other hand a group that doesn’t want to work together and doesn’t form a loyalty/bond with one another will ultimately put the whole group’s goals behind them and work for themselves. “Related directly to good communication skills are good listening skills. These skills are extremely important in the communication world.” (Ellis, 2009) 3) This basically says that without listening in a group people will never get their opinions heard and ultimately let down the group.
Sacrifice was something that I had to learn to tolerate when returning to school. Spending time with my family became less of a benefit that I once enjoyed and that many take for granted. Sleep deprivation and personal time was also something that returning to school had an impact on. Study habits are difficult to maintain and focus, due to my children wanting my attention non-stop. My parents support in this process has been a blessing as they’ve taken much of the burden therefore providing peaceful nights and lessening some of the stormy days.
Be prepared. You should meet your partner with topics of discussion in mind and/or questions you would like to ask. Sometimes partners become good friends and never need to search for something to discuss. However, this does not always happen; nor should it. Some students learn better with a language partner because they are not friends and do not get distracted as easily.
Pausch in the non-fiction, The Last Lecture, explains to us how to live our lives more enjoyable. Pausch supports his theories by describing his experiences in his life.

The author writes an informal tone for the people that are struggling with any goals or just life in general. Pausch explains how to get through obstacles in life and to just live life because you never know what could happen.
Instruct the family to be more positive. Try to see the good in what is happening. This will help deal with the stress easier. Make family time to do something fun and forget about other problems for example game night, sundae night, etc. Family time does not need to be an expensive day at a park or zoo but time spent laughing and talking.
Socially, their friends are different. They have fewer friends as they get older and those friends last longer. They have a high impact on the decisions that the teen has to make as they want to fit in and follow the crowd most of the time. As they grow they don’t really rely on their parents anymore, they can do things on their own and doesn’t need advising to do things, although the parents will still be there if they need them. Adolescences automatically feel like they have to fit into society, and social groupings, they will find friends with the similar likings to them and this is when nature takes place again, their likings can be random but they will still be friends because they enjoy it.
When all that has to be done is talking after everything has calmed down and that doesn’t mean days later either. Days later could only hurt the relationship more and more. I try to keep a friendship and as well as lovers. When two people can communicate as friend, it makes the relationship less straining. Communicating makes it easier to laugh, smile, have fun and be around one another without feeling like it’s a job.
