Appreciate
After watching the video First World Problems & Miniature World, I basically got the same message from them. The message was to just stop complaining about what you don't have & just take the time to appreciate what you do. I feel like these videos were really talking to me. I tend to overlook ALL that I have sometimes. But when I really think about it , I have so much to be grateful for. One of the videos said that If i have a roof over my head, a refrigerator and a bed to sleep in than I'm richer than 75% of the world. That amazed me because I complain about bring broke ALL the time, when really I'm not broke, I'm more fortunate than I think. I think that I need to take a step back sometimes & just appreciate all that I have. And also to be the best me that I can be so that I can impact the rest of this world in some kind of way.

Kid President Pep Talk
While watching the Kid President Pep Talk video I couldn't help but to feel positive. I just liked the fact that it is a kid giving the world a pep talk. I think a pep talk is what everyone needs once in a while. That is exactly what I would tell a person if I forwarded that video to in an email.
The video affected me because I wasn't really having a good day that day, but the video made me smile and just look on the brighter side of my situation. It made me realize that sometimes life may be tough but you still have to pull through in order to reach your dreams.

Presenting
When I watched the video named "Top 10 Presentation Mistakes" and "Make a Presentation like Steve Jobs", they both informed me on how to be better at presenting.
I liked the Steve Jobs video better because it was short and to the point. It wasn't as verbose as the other one. They both made good points though. For example, they both made it clear that a speech should have an outline which is a beginning, middle and end. They also made it clear that a person should practice as much as they can and I agree.

Service Learning
What are some of the things you would like to see in an internship position that would be different from the service learning site you are at now? How will this experience help you to determine a career path?
I would like to have an intern that had to do with my major. I want to major in psychology. So therefore I'd like to watch the life of a psychologist and see what they do.
Also, having this experience will help me determine a career path because I will openly see what the life of a psychologist is like and it will help me determine if its what I really want to do in life.

About myself.
My name is Edrika Dave. First and foremost, I'd have to say that the traits I like most about myself are that I am dependable and hard working. I don't like to be let down so therefore I don't let others down. Also I have the mentality that when I put my mind to something, I put ALL of my effort into getting it done.

Service Learning
Based on the presentations that people have in class about their sites I think the most important thing should be that they enjoy what they do. Everyone said that they pretty much enjoy working at their sites. It would be unfortunate to have to work somewhere that you do t even want to be.
I also think that every service learning site should include people that have good time management. I think that time management can be a strength or a weakness for some people. But since we have to do 25 hours a month in this class, it gives everyone more sense of time and to know where they have to be and when.
The last thing I think a service learning site should include is they should give the person a sense of appreciation. Some people said the people that they work for let them know that their volunteer work is appreciated. This makes them feel good and like they are really needed.

I'm Proud!
When i sit back & reflect, I think about how I have so many things to be proud of in my life. There are times where I feel down and out and like there is no hope. But in reality I have to remember that things could always be worse and i DO have reasons to be proud. A quote that i thought was interesting is "It's just a bad day, not a bad life". I have to always keep in mind that I will have many bad days but its just THAT day that is bad.
When it comes to what I'm proud of right at this moment, I would have to say it is my performance in school. I believe that I have all A's. In both my English classes, Math and also Personal Growth. I put so much hard work and effort into school work so I see why this is the outcome. It's fortunate that I am pulling an A in math right now because I am NOT the best in math. But I like my professor and I feel that he's doing a good job teaching me. But on the other hand, I am doing my part and making sure I do my homework and study for tests and quizzes. I just recently got 100/100 on a Math test! I was so so so so so PROUD of this. I worked hard to get this grade.
Also in my English 48 class I received the highest grade in the class on the midterm which was a 46/50. This made me feel good. Not just because it was the highest grade, but because I know i put a lot of effort towards that test and like my favorite quote says, "Hard work pays off". In college, I feel that my hardwork is definitely paying off. THIS I am proud of! :-)
