The first thing I need to really do is stop procrastinating. In order to become the successful Real Estate Agent that I hope to be, I can’t continue to throw things off to the last minute. For starters, me making my grades play an important role in me succeeding in college. I have to be above your average student. I’m not going to settle for that C or B, I want to be the best in my class. Another way for me to accomplish my goals is to make me a schedule, and to abide by that schedule. I can’t get side tracked by the activity’s that surround me, because there always going to be there. I have to watch who I hang out with. I have to make sure all my studying is done before I go have fun, and make sure I get my rest because in order to succeed in the classroom you have to be well rested. I believe if I follow these steps through college I will accomplish my professional goals. Reply to this

I would give myself about a “B-“ in meeting people, but the truth is that I have the potential to get an “A”. I need to try a little harder to be outgoing and easier to talk to.
What I first need to do in order to succeed with my college career is mainly focus. I find myself from day to day wasting time and I know that a habit like that cannot last especially in college. What I am going to start doing is brining my homework with me everywhere so I can get it out of the way. I cannot do homework in my dorm room because focusing is too difficult. I am going to start surrounding myself with people who are focused and concentrated on their studies. I feel that seeing people succeed around me will motivate me even more to work harder and will make me want to work hard to achieve the same success they are having. I have to stop giving in to the temptation of partying as well. It is fun for the moment but in the end could be a roadblock. Finally rest is needed. Not much to say about this except I am going to need a big amount in order to accomplish what I want to accomplish. Reply to this

My Four years Plan In my four years in college at Indiana Bloomington, I plan on accomplishing a lot of goals. My freshman year in college I plan on getting a GPA of a 3.0 or better nothing less and keeping them that way. By me doing that I have to study hard, stay focus keep my head on straight and don’t do nothing dumb, and most of all stop procrastinating. I plan on playing basketball for IU and help them out because I feel I can bring a lot to the team even if it has to take me two or three, I feel it each and every day it’s going to happen. During my sophomore year I plan to be still on the team and I hope to be in the Kelly School of Business and start my career from there. Going towards my junior year I plan to really start giving back to the people who help me be where I am today such as group I hope to become a RA in the groups program and always be a helper towards everyone. Last my senior I hope to graduate and become a business man and for the people who need help; I will be there to give them all the help I can give them such as the ones who are having a hard time getting a job. Overall I would mostly achieve for a B because I don’t consider myself as Mr. no everything even though some people do especially in basketball and I know I am not because I still have a lot work to do to even become one of the best. I know I have to still practice, eat right, run, and train my body so I want get lazy under no circumstance. Reply to this

I did not and do not understand all white men of the past are stereotyped into this category of owning slaves. Free Black men during the civil war owned slaves and white men were also slaves; so it is a negative stereotype that anyone could possibly fit in to. However, I did enjoy hearing other people’s points of view on the subject. Also all of the different cultural backgrounds that were there and sharing their insight into their own personal knowledge was an uplifting experience. I enjoyed the different setting besides being stuck in the classroom for two hours. The most rewarding experience of the night was the knowledge that was shared and what was learned. Reply to this

As I watched and observed the presentation on Wednesday evening, I learned a lot. I say that because even though in the back of my mind I knew people over the years have been really racist, I didn’t know that so much racism still occurs today. To piggy back on the question, “would it be racist if a white man said it”, I feel that yes it would. I say that because through all the power that whites have over this country, to say such a thing would just rub it in minorities faces. But, I feel that it wasn’t racist because for her to say that because of her background. Because minorities have been treated to harsh over the years, I feel that she would actually be able to relate more to the problems of Hispanics, than so a white man would. I also learned that reversed racism, does not exists. I feel that it is only racism against white people. I feel that we have overcome so much over the past years that we minorities deserve a break from all the hostility. There should be no more racial incidents about whites and blacks getting along, or any other races getting along either, but instead we should have love for one another. I feel that people have failed to realize that this is a new day and age that we live in today. All the killing and acting stupid is what they did back in the day against each other. Now-a-days we need to help lift up our neighbors instead of dragging them down. Reply to this
