I chose this video because it gave me a warm feeling, which was similar to how I felt after class on Tuesday. That assignment was one of my favorite assignments so far in my college career because, brought out something that I've always thought about, but never said. It felt like I was able to get something off my chest without even knowing that it was in there. When my parents got divorced, I remember thinking that I didn’t know what to think. I know that sounds weird, but that’s really the only way I can describe it.

This week, I decided to post something light due to us having our midterm, and thought this video was hilarious! I’ve been a procrastinator for most of my life, but I like to think that in the last couple of years I’ve become more responsible in regards to managing my time. I feel like when I was younger, because I was working, I felt like school came second to work. Maybe that was because I needed the money in order to pay bills, or just because I got comfortable with the feeling that I was starting to become an adult. I'm thankful that I eventually realized that procrastinating is dangerous because I feel like college would be extremely if I still had that bad habit! Anyway, thanks for reading and I hope I did you proud on the mid term!

I chose this photo specifically because it came to mind when you said we would be having a writing workshop during our Thursday class. 

Side note: Sorry I missed class, was just having an extremely stressful week, and I just didn’t have the energy to get out of bed and contribute to our class in a productive way. Of course I know ill lose points for this, but I really felt like I just needed to get some fresh air and it was my only day off. 

This photo is important to me because it reminds me of the struggles I had while writing in high school. I remember having to spend so much time working on my assignments because I disliked seeing so much red on my papers after they were graded. Im glad I put the work in though, because by the time I was a senior, I was able to understand how to write my assignments more efficiently, and it’s helped me in my college career at FCC so far. Anyways, I hope this counts as something to write about? I remember thinking about this photo as soon as you brought up the idea of a writing workshop. Seeya on Tuesday, and have a great weekend!

I chose this video because the question you asked all of us on the zoom call yesterday stayed in my mind all day and reminded me about the struggle of being basically judged before even meeting someone. My legal name is Sved, but it’s actually a funny story... My dad was trying to write Syed on my birth cert. and they thought he wrote “Sved” so I’ve lived my entire life without my correct name and have been judged by many people who thought I was from Sweden or something lmfaooo! 

Anyway, when you asked all of us what we thought about you before we met you, it reminded me of this video which is why I shared it with you! Although its an honest mistake, most people develop an image when they hear a name without even realizing that they do so, which is why in our class most of my classmates thought you were an elder white man. 

I hope you like my first post, and sorry for posting so late, I got off of work later than expected! Have a good Weekend!
