Final Draft of BOR
Birth Order Research
In my family of six, I'm considered the
youngest child. In my family, there's my mom and dad, sister (20), sister (19),
brother (18), and then me. (15) I listed five character traits describing how the
youngest child is, and how I relate to it. The five traits I feel that relates
to me the most has the most background to it.
The youngest child is described as rebellious.
Rebellious fits me because I can be a rebel sometimes and not think of the consequences
that could happen afterwards. Youngest child is also described as carefree. I
absolutely know I'm carefree due to the things I don't have to worry about. For
example, a lot of the times I depend on my older siblings to helps out.
Therefore, I don't have a lot on my shoulders and I keep going on with life
with less problems.
Another
character trait that relates to being the youngest is blaming others. I always
blame others when it comes down to me getting in trouble. For example, I'm the
youngest so obviously I'm spoiled. Being spoiled, knowing you won't get trouble
if you blame others is the way I see it. Yes, I do this a lot when it comes
down to who I think my parents will believe. Blaming others is my number one
characteristic I can relate to. My siblings are temperamental a lot of times, especially
when I blame stuff on them. Sometimes, I can actually relate to being temperamental
also. Little things can ruin my day within seconds. There are days I wake up
mad just for no reason. I don't only think this character trait fits only
youngest children, it fitsin the rest of the others as well.
Lastly, another trait describing "youngest child", that was found in the research is "impatient". I consider this my second top related character trait. I'm very impatient when I don't get what I want when I want when I want it. For example, I hate waiting in lines especially the lunch lines at school. I rather not eat then have to wait in a line where there are a lot of people. Another example is when people don't listen to what I have to say and just interrupt me when I'm speaking. I have very little patients with people that annoy me. I just can’t stand anyone sometimes. It can be hard for me to not be impatient.
The most background I have is the traits that fit me the most. Blaming others and being impatient I found the research to relate to me in being the youngest child. Many of the character traits had fit my personality, but as well as my older siblings because we are very rotten. As we were little growing up, everyone had spoiled us, so we really aren’t that different from each other.

REFELECTIONS ON WEEK 1
1. No I don't think there's anything that will affect my participation or experience in this class. I have access to a computer and a smart phone of my own. My transportation to school is by car. I got a lot of friends, some I like to hang out with a lot more then others! I got a huge, nice, loud family. My schedule for this school year is unbelievingly tiring! I go to school from 7:30- 2:55, full 7 classes. It's such a hassle to be moving to so many classes throughout the day. I rather have a block schedule then a period schedule in my opinion.
2. My best learning experience must have been at the hospital. I volunteer there once a week for 3 hours a day. I volunteered all over the hospital now being my 3rd year volunteering there. Being at the hospital, there's really nothing you know that will go on. Everyday is something new, because everything is happens unexpected. I learned how to communicate, be smart, and find my way around the whole hospital. As I just ended my summer, a lot of pvhs students volunteered there as well. Going there every once out of the week helped me get more familiar with the new hospital. Now I can just walk around without having to ask for help around others, and help other new incoming volunteers.
3. I'm most excited with the fresh new start of English honors. What I'm concerned about is the amount of homework that will be given later on. I look forward into learning how to write better, and also get a higher vocabulary. I think it will make a practical difference in my life by having to step up and giving myself a challenge. Knowing that I won't give up and I'll stay positive throughout this whole new year.

My six words
https://vine.co/v/M3gQ2OYqbw1
Title : Old ways won't open new doors.
I picked this 6 word saying because it's telling you not to go back into old habits. Try something new and build upon that. You aren't always going to get what you want in life so you have to learn how to deal with new stuff. You don't always make it far if your using old habits. Along the way, you have to change the ways you do stuff. For example, I volunteer and play soccer. Starting off volunteer for my first time, I didn't know anyone nor did I know my way around the hospital, so I had to learn how to talk and be around others without being shy. In soccer throughout my 6 years, I met a lot of new people as I played but I also had to learn how to work together as a team.
In my video I showed a part about looking in the back of the book for the answers. Yes, I get that you check your answers to see if there right, but not everyone's alike and so some people just copy the back of the book. In my next showing, I showed the bear reading and not procrastinating. Procrastinators wait til the very last minute til something is due. If you change your ways and plan stuff out, you won't have to be struggling. Therefore, you should change your ways and get out of your circle your always in. " Old Ways Won't Open New Doors. "
