Indian Epics 2018

To wrap up this week, I will create my famous last words post. I find this assignment a good way to reflect what I have done with the week and what new information I have learned. I really enjoyed the reading this week. For me, I am able to retain more of the story from tales versus reading the epics themselves. After reading the different tales, I picked my top 3. The "Top 3 Readings" method has been very useful for my writing because I am able to go back and refer to the details to create my own story. I am looking forward to writing a new story for my portfolio next week. I feel that, as the semester is coming to an end, my writing style has started to improve. I still make mistakes, but it is getting better. As for my life in Germany, this week has been great. I finished up the first month of my German language course. I am so happy that I am finally able to say a few words in German. I was even able to have a short conversation in German the other day. It is nice to se...

This week I will explore growth mindset through cat memes. 1. Source I picked this image because it is so important to understand why things the way they are so you can improve yourself. 2. Source Self-improvement comes from recognizing what you are doing wrong. So, you need to take a good look in the mirror to grow your own mindset. 3. Source Learning is messy. This meme could not be truer. If it was perfect, you wouldn't be able to grow and learn.

Youtube has become such an important outlet in today's society. So, it only makes sense to utilize Youtube within the assignments of this course. I have not used a Youtube video for any of my assignments for this class because I never knew it was an option. But, I will start finding videos in the future! I would recommend embedding a video to your posts because, not only is it fun, but it helps the reader understand your topic in a different way. For more information about how to embed a Youtube video to your blog, please refer you this page . Here is a video just for fun! I hope you enjoy :)
