Reflection #5

My motivation right now pretty good right now. Nothing really can bring me down, but there some things that can. Even though my grades my might be good there border line to failing i think not sure on that. Slacking off at school taking naps talking to other people could be some of my down falls. In back of my head there is a little voice saying finish or end up like your brothers. They both went to college but ending up dropping out of college cause they would rather work and move up in the profession. My oldest brother is a master tech at Lexus dealership and my middle brother is a Parts manager at Hyundai dealership. The jobs that they have are not bad at all they make money and make it rain on special occasions. They push me to go to college and actually finish and not end up like them and get a real good job. Just getting an education would satisfy them and my family. Hopefully having studying groups more often with starr help with the vocabulary test and other stuff. getting enough sleep is a great motivation for me doing better in class it migh tbe strange but its true. Going at not doing nothing for natrual but im getting the habit of not doing it anymore my mom makes sure of it. The momentum is not losing at all but hanging cause of the things I just said in this blog. Hopefully everyine in the class hasn't lost the momentum of the motivation since the semsmester and fall throught out the end of the second half of the semster.

GOALS!

Dear Sammy,

One long Major goal for me was to get good grades to get of Fullerton college and transfer to Cal Poly Pomona as quickly as I can. Also to get healthier in my life in the future. Short term goals was to spend less money and to save it as much I could possible. I did it I'm at Cal Poly Pomona and the campus looks so nice. Its so huge compare to Fullerton college and it still has some buildings from the first time it was built. It better than I could ever imagine in my head. Getting here was diffcult getting the grade for it and the classes. Seeing the consuler was very important making sure Iwas on track.The restaurant kitchen smells good everything time I walk past to get to my agriculture classes. The farm looks like an ranch in the Midwest but smaller of course. It feels allot different the experience and the people some that are there talk with an accent. Also getting healthier was accomplish i could run longer and lift heavier weights at the gym. I got tone and cut so you can see my muscles when we go the beach in the spring and the summer. People ask me if i could be there personal trainer so they can be big and strong like me. Hitting the gym everyday run, swim, and ride bike for miles got me stornger. Eating the foods that are very important to build the muscle and burn the fat. Maybe ill become star and be in a show like the "Jersey Shore" . Saving money was a tough one to manage. I had to save very cent. The hard part was buying books for college. The college would always come with new edition and new requirements for diplomas. I had to cut back on trips with my homies going snowboarding but I would always end up going. I got a new car from Chevy the Volt it an electric car so it cut back from using gas. The gas price are setting new high records very month. Its very flashy we will cruise up and down PCH every weekend casue I wont have to worry about gas.  Hopefully you follow up and haved accomplish your goals and write me about it.

Sincerely,

Moses lara
