I chose this image because this is me at my desk in my classroom with my students. Doing my instruction time, I use my computer on the left. When it is my planning time, I use my computer on my right to start on my assignments for this class. This image relates to my blog post because this is me using my planning time to start on one of my assignments that is due on April 10, 2022.
From the course objective, I feel as if I have grown since I have taken this course. Looking back at blog 1, I feel as if I have become more knowledgeable after taking this Social Psychology class. If I must take this class again, I will try to learn more details dealing with this lesson.
Over the last few months, I have grown academically because I stayed on top of all my assignments. All my assignments were turned in days before they were due. One skill that I can utilize in my professional life is emotional aspects and awareness.

I have learned three things so far from my ePortfolio. Those things came from the following blogs: Blog 2 “Determination”, Blog 6 Ted Talk “Being Yourself, taking care of your body”, and Assignment Takeaway 2 “Self-Cross Situations”. I have really enjoyed these three topics. All of them were related to how I live my life. I could identify with everything in those lessons.
I was able to apply one concept to another. For instance, I learned that being determined can be discussed through social psychology dealing with determination. STEM 110T is dealing with a Sensory Alert Universal Doorknob that was made for Alzheimer’s patients who try to escape. This Sensory Alert Universal doorknob was placed in their home to alarm the family when the door was opened. The doorknob would automatically sound an alarm controlled by the chip inside. There are so many things I learned and I look forward to continuing to apply them to different areas of my life experiences.

This mating article is dealing with sexual conflict between a male and a female. I feel that a female can easily go without having sex; however, a male cannot. This is even true when a male and female break up. When a female and male breakup, the female can easily let the relationship go, but the male sometimes cannot accept the breakup. Another thing about the female and the male relationship is that when a man treats a woman wrong, she can accept it and still move on. However, when a woman treats a man wrong, it is very hard for him to accept that type of treatment.
How a man angers a woman
One way a man angers a woman is when he drinks too much and becomes intoxicated. For example, I get angry when my husband does that. It seems as if he does not know when to be quiet. He will repeatedly say the same thing multiple times. After he’s finished, he would then stretch out on the floor and go to sleep.
How a woman angers a man
A woman angers a man when she stays out with her girlfriends for an extended period. This really bothers my husband because he immediately thinks that we may be up to something. My response is, “You are jealous.” When women are together, we are only having fun and not thinking about other men.

Self-Regulation is how you convey yourself. Emotional Intelligence is being able to acknowledge (think) before you act or react before you think. This will keep you from getting into serious trouble.
Emotional Intelligence is being transparent with yourself and others.
An example of how you display EQ is when a situation occurs, instead of reacting before thinking which would have caused a conflict, the decision was to think and process what was occurring than address the problem with the solution.

Someone once said, “Accept your body the way it is”. You are unique and beautiful. You don’t need to be a certain way. Be yourself”. That is what I always try to tell myself and other women. You don’t have to show your body to anyone.
My reaction to this Ted Talk is that we, as women, do not have to let our bodies be shown in advertising ads to make money. I hate that in one advertising ad, they used a little baby girl wearing a pair of pink high heels shoes as a gimmick. I disagree with that because little babies should dress as little babies. I say that because aging up our women and girls makes our body language appear, vulnerable, and submissive.
In our world today, when male photos are used in advertising ads, people don’t view them as negatively as they view women. The perception of men is very different from women. Men are not subject to being raped, harassed, or beaten. Men are not threatening either, but women are.
So, in conclusion, accept your precious body as a gift from “God”. We should not let advertising make us out to be something we are not. We should always remember that we are beautiful no matter what anyone says!

This represents a credible source because Sussex County Public Schools are really in need of bus drivers.
Picture B
Represents a not credible source because of the chefs that prepare the food on the days that they work. Some of the times at Va. Diner in Wakefield the food are delicious but then again it depends on who the chefs are on that particular day.
Picture C
Represents an attractive source because everyone that’s living on this earth would eventually need a funeral home. So, in life, it would be better for you to get your information straight with your loved ones before anything happens to you.

I learned that I really need to study the material from the chapters that were given. Most of all, as I was reading the notes from the lesson, I looked up each word to find the definitions for them. Then prior to the week of the test, I continued to review each chapter repeatedly until I felt that I had memorized all the information to each of the chapters that were given.
With this feedback, I think that my strategies on future tests will be for me to learn how to state my questions differently from the other questions that were discussed. This will help me retain the information much better and be able to get a higher score on my next test.

The love of music is instrumental in my husband and I’s relationship. Yes, most definitely we really do enjoy listening and dancing to music. Our favorite kind of music is the “Oldies but Goodies”. This type of music is music from back in the day, that never seems to get old. When we hear songs like: Let’s Get It On, Remember the Times, Practice What You Preach, The Turning Point, Let’s Stay Together, and Loving Somebody When Somebody Loves You Back, it takes us back down memory lane.
The soundtrack of “Tyrone Davis” song the “Turning Point” was the highlight of myself and my husband. In the song “Turning Point” Tyrone Davis stated “when he used to stay out all night long, that was my husband, enjoyment until he met me. If the connection between him and I thought the music had not been vulnerable he wouldn’t have been the man that he is today.

Determination
I am a student that loves what I do when I am in the classroom. My passion is to teach students regardless of their learning ability. I am determined to acquire the skills and knowledge needed to make a difference in our world today and in the lives of my students. I am also a student that strives for perfection. No one can stop me from accomplishing anything that I set out to do.
I have confidence in everything that I do. Therefore, when I decide to do something positive, no one can stop me from doing it. I am a person with goals that are set very high, no matter what the situation might be. For instance, when I decided to go back to college to get my bachelor’s degree to be a counselor, I was determined not to let anyone discourage me from doing that.
Some factors that can increase my confidence levels are continuing to read and acquire new knowledge. I am constantly learning and growing, and I look forward to each class so that I can learn more and more. These lessons will help me to become a better counselor for my students.
I have very high self-efficacy. I say that because I am a very strong person when it comes to my goals and ambitions. When I put my mind to something, no matter the hurdles, I go after it! That is why I chose this image because you will see me explaining to my students the importance of goal-setting.

In this course syllabus outline, I see that it has a whole lot of information that can be used in the future. For instance, chapter 1 deals with heuristics. Heuristics means solving problems in our world today. Most definitely in our society today, we have one big problem that needs to be solved and that is to stop people from talking and texting on their cell phones while they are driving.
Therefore, in this course, my expectations are to learn everything that I can learn so that I can teach it to my students in the classroom. I really enjoy taking this course as it deals with things that go on in our lives. I am hoping that as I teach my students what I have learned from this course, I hope that they will apply it to their everyday lives once they get older.
From this course, I would like to gain the knowledge and experiences that I can use in life. I would also like to gain information that would be useful so that I can use it in my classroom. I would also like to gain new skills and knowledge that will be helpful for me and my students.
While I am in this course, I intend to use all the strategies that were taught throughout this course. I also intend to use all the resources that were given throughout the chapters. Before I begin to submit any of my assignments, I plan to make sure that all of them are submitted in the right places.
