Reading 25 Reflection

I think before i enrolled in to reading 25 i was a fair reader the reason being is because i never really found reading difficult.I only had a problem with reading is understanding what i read and i had difficulty understanding what it is that i need to get out of what i read and how to understand that what i read if it was based on fact or if it was based on opinion or fact.But in my experience in being a part of the class was learning new ways to read and explore different ways to make my reading skills more accurate.One thing i learned was that in the text that you would read in a book some time the author would use a sense of tone to give you a feel of what the character is feeling. though the class i found out a lot about how reading works basically all of the reading fundamentals i needed to move on in college.      i enjoyed every thing the class had to offer and now i think i gain a little bit more knowledge on how to read things 

Arguement

My argument will be on why the government wont legalize marijuana laws but constantly make alcoholic products and all these pills that say they would help do. Whatever it is to help deal with your illness but in the end you can still end up dying around the same time you where issued the drug. People often criticize that weed is bad for you just simply because you might have a risk of lung and heart cancer but over all marijuana has been proven to help heal and even help you cope with your illness and even get rid out some disease but the government over looks that and we so happen to have these pharmaceutic medicine and alcohol related deaths in America.Which in some case can happen in a instinct but as with marijuana the chance you will ever happen to catch lung disease is though long time use with would multiple year of smoking and if you have a nicotine habit it will only boost that. Pharmacy medicine which that are pills usually get the job done but most are usually fulled with side effects that we don't know until we try it out for a few weeks and we end up being back at square 1 which is the hospital. Alcohol has no purpose but the steady make millions of bottle a year and the steady complain about million of drunk driving incidents,but some how they cant legalize marijuana which make no sense.

Self Regulated Behavior

The Self-Regulated Behavior I haved a challenge would be time mangement. I always get lost in attending school, looking for and job, and hanging out with my friends. The problems is that either im always losing track of time of when I have to do something or when i have an assignment due. The reason is because I'm either busy doing new assignments or just barely finshing up an assignment that was due weeks ago. I improved my time management by organizing work and making a schedule on when to do it. I also did my work before social time. Overall, I made sure I studied and finished assignements before hanging out with my friends.

Bystander Effect

My first time I ever witnessing the Bystander Effect happened when I went to a party of a friend of mines. The person that was throwing the party, which was my bestfriend, her auntie got drunk and started to get into an. altercation with her niece.  So the aunt punched her niece and they started fighting.  The whole time they are there fighting it's all family members standing by just watching them fight. I felt bad because I was her bestfriend. Her auntie was too big for her too fight but I didn't want to interfer because if I probably tried to get involved her uncle would have tried to fight me. I was the bystander and chose not to get involved.

My Reading History

My Reading History began back when I was 15 years old and I was incarcerated in juvenile hall and as a thing to past the time I read books.The first book I read was a book called the lost boy and it was about a kid who always abused by his mother and how he over came that. Id like the book so much that it inspired me to read even more.
After that I was in to reading. I was reading about everything form thing from things that people do in other county,folktales,science fiction,and just general information on animals. Now that I'm older i still have the same interest in reading like I did back then. Now I read a little better than I did when i was younger and now it is not that hard for me to read and under what I'm reading at first reading wasn't my subject of interest now .I love to read  I hope taking this class will help improve my reading skills and find out thing that will help me along the way.
