Peer revision In Class
 
 
We were given a topic in class to write about a experience we have had in English, language and I choose how I didn't think i wasn't going to make it out of high school. High school was a struggle for me it took a lot out of me to pass. After getting accepted into college it changed me around a lot I took things a lot more serious. It came to me that college was going to be better and bigger things to worry about and high school was just a little turn around to get me on the right track. Once I got started with college things had to settle down and things had to get more serious. I think I love college more than anything and now I think I can pass college English without having little things worry me

On September 23,2013 I went to a Richard Bland soccer game. I never knew anything about soccer but getting out of my dorm it was something to do. Soccer has never been my sport to watch because I don't know any rules and to me its just kicking the ball into the golly and running. As the game started off they came with a easy golly and scored, and Bland was getting upset because they got first goal. Soccer is a very competitive sport and it comes down to winning or loosing. There was a couple times when I thought there was going to be a fight and the game was going to shut down, but they were just competing. The game turned out to be a good game and I think we actually won after all.
The team seemed to be happy overall about their win and seem to play well as a team

Septmeber 16

Our class met in the library on Monday Sept 16. We had a library tour on how to checkout books and also how to use the shelves.  Everyone was so amazed on how to experience how the shelves moved in and out.  After the tour of the library going back to the community room to get to know how to  use the library website was interesting . The library offers a lot of books and magazines for research.  If there book that is not there and you need then a way to get it, is to order it so it can be shipped. Writing papers and using different formats are also on the website.  After learning all the different way to find different the library is actually helpful !

The girl parents were German , daughter say a recording is not a good way to learn language. the story was basically from generation to generation. Her research and scholar work was not her experience. " I speak in an inherited academic voice that isn't hers. It was thrill of the pull between someone else's authority and our own, between submission and independence that we must discover how to define ourself. She lived by the lyrical dream change always believing a new vision is possible. Hearing her mothers voice was her guide and the Bible was her AAA tour guide when they traveled ! In todays life people don't like to use their own authority because they think that everyone else's word is better they don't like to experience new. Her mother has taught her this far to talk German and tried to get her to understand English but she couldn't because growing up she was around German and that's how she was raised to talk German.

Richard Bland College
 
 
 
 
 
When I got accepted into Richard Bland that was a turning point of my life. I was excited but nervous.  As it got closer for me to move in I was sheading tears everyday, because leaveing my family was hard. After getting into the dorms and meeting new people everything seemed to calm down.  My first two weekends I left and went back home to Mom and Dad. Realizing that independence was coming in a blink of an eye it told me that you have to be your own person.
I though I wouldn't like the college life but after getting around and knowing people it became fun.
Living in the dorms well sorta apartments is like almost having my own house, thinking of a dorm is just like having a bed with no extra, but Richard Bland has pushed me to almost like having my own home to take care of . We are been provided a full kitchen and a bathroom, washer and dryer, living room, and also your own bedroom !.. Richard Bland is the top community colleges that has a campus to live on you wouldn't find this at no other 2year school . I will be continuing Richard Bland for the next 2years and planning on transferring in the spring of 2015!
