In order to create my doc "description of a child" and create "Ezra," I've used many things that have been used to describe myself in the past. It was kind of a reflection and I enjoyed it. https://nowcomment.com/documents/316811?scroll_to=2853946 https://nowcomment.com/documents/316811?scroll_to=2853946 Thu, 28 Jul 2022 21:00:46 -0400 In working on the first column of "describing a student," I found myself reading multiple comments to see which I understood well and had a well-thought out opinion on. Words are easy to mis-interpret through text so keeping this HOM in mind helps a lot. https://nowcomment.com/documents/316811?scroll_to=2853944 https://nowcomment.com/documents/316811?scroll_to=2853944 Thu, 28 Jul 2022 20:41:32 -0400 Agree entirely. Bias in the sense that parent's may think they have their child entirely "figured out." I've seen it happen when tutoring and it's difficult to reach through to parents in this state of mind. https://nowcomment.com/documents/207234?scroll_to=2853943 https://nowcomment.com/documents/207234?scroll_to=2853943 Thu, 28 Jul 2022 20:38:35 -0400 How can we as future parents use the HOM that we've learned to become better communicators...I think that parent's are naturally very tunnel-minded when it comes to their children and think they have all the answers.What discussions can we engage? https://nowcomment.com/documents/207234?scroll_to=2853942 https://nowcomment.com/documents/207234?scroll_to=2853942 Thu, 28 Jul 2022 20:36:27 -0400 I was tutoring virtually during the pandemic, many different topics, and it bothered me that I wasn't able to see faces. You can tell a lot about a person's sub-conscious thoughts in the way that they express their understanding of ideas and new knowledge https://nowcomment.com/documents/207234?scroll_to=2853926 https://nowcomment.com/documents/207234?scroll_to=2853926 Thu, 28 Jul 2022 20:31:15 -0400 This last column, the 3 column, was more about putting everything that we had done together. Because of that, I found it important to pay attention to detail and not miss small things.I was striving for accuracy in compiling the different things I created https://nowcomment.com/documents/316811?scroll_to=2853923 https://nowcomment.com/documents/316811?scroll_to=2853923 Thu, 28 Jul 2022 20:22:04 -0400 Activities like this one, organizing a bio of myself using these three HOM's is definitely something new to me. It's been fun and satisfying though to go outside of my usual boundaries and see myself enjoy different actives. It helps me learn about myself https://nowcomment.com/documents/316811?scroll_to=2853922 https://nowcomment.com/documents/316811?scroll_to=2853922 Sat, 13 Aug 2022 09:43:16 -0400 You make a great point Jen. Like Aniya said, I've had interviews where I rehearsed my answer and that didn't go too well. When I decided to instead grab some water and sip on it between questions, to allow myself some time to think my responses were bette https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2849151 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2849151 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 16:16:27 -0400 For someone like myself who struggled with managing my impulsivity and my thoughts, I had to actively tell myself to STOP from letting myself speak before I can formulate a cohesive thought. https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2849150 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2849150 Mon, 05 Jun 2023 20:58:46 -0400 Don't be afraid of the questions ! https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2849148 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2849148 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 16:09:03 -0400 This quote by Einstein capitalizes on the human ability to communicate well. It's something that more people should actively try to become better at and never stop. Often times, questioning someone may be viewed as confrontational when it's meant to be - https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2849143 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2849143 - productive and garner new insight and information on a topic at hand. Fri, 15 Jul 2022 16:09:03 -0400 The last part of this sentence "to listen to what that person is trying to represent" is very important. For me it highlights not only being open-minded, but also trying to understand from a different POV. Thinking about the way a person has been shaped. https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2849141 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2849141 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 16:02:44 -0400 I used to be a student just like this. It was hard for me to control the thoughts that came and I'd often just let that thought out, even though it may not have been a fully developed one. Luckily I have since learned to control this and manage impulsivit https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2849138 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2849138 Mon, 05 Jun 2023 20:58:46 -0400 This HOB resonated with me when I was choosing my cover photo for my YV profile. That day on the beach, was not only enjoyable and fun but very open to discussion with friends. I have a friend who is avid on his belief that evolution is a hoax. https://nowcomment.com/documents/316811?scroll_to=2849135 https://nowcomment.com/documents/316811?scroll_to=2849135 We had conversations about it all day on the beach and I was extremely open to his opinion and knowledge, even though I disagree with the view entirely. Sat, 13 Aug 2022 09:40:46 -0400 Reading Miles B.'s post titled "Climate Change is not Controversial... it's Really Happening", I thought about the past few years. Not only constantly hearing about this global issue through media, but also discussing it thoroughly https://nowcomment.com/documents/316811?scroll_to=2849133 https://nowcomment.com/documents/316811?scroll_to=2849133 with friends, professors, and in classes. It catches my eye and brings so much past knowledge learned in conversations and research to this new experience of YouthVoices. It has shown how this global issue connects us all. Fri, 15 Jul 2022 15:48:59 -0400 I went ahead and found an article I liked, made my own comment on it and posted it. Then I went down and saw I was supposed to follow a guide! https://nowcomment.com/documents/316811?scroll_to=2846827 https://nowcomment.com/documents/316811?scroll_to=2846827 I had worked my way up the A column then went to the right and saw make a comment so I did, without first reading that I was supposed to follow a guide haha.
