Autism Spectrum Disability Article



For my ED-215-01 class, my professor assigned us to search for articles about special education disability. The topic that I have chosen is Autism Spectrum Disability because there are many articles relating to this topic in education. Students who have Autism Spectrum Disability are different than any other student that can read, speak, and write. However, teachers should be able to focus on their weakness and strength to help the student improve their ability in learning. Students should be more helpful for other students that are at a slow pace in learning such as teaching them what they know.

In my opinion, If I ever have a student that has Autism Spectrum Disability. I would focus more on the student by teaching him/her individually how to write, speak, and read. This will take time and patient for a student that has the disability to learn. The goal for teachers should be able to teach the student how many words he/she can say, write, and read. This will be a challenge for most teachers because it is important for them to treat a student who has disability equally like normal students.

Good Health and Well being







My social work professor assigned us into groups to do a presentation next week. My topic he gave me is Good health and Wellbeing. We have to talk about how this topic is related to Guam. However, I am majoring in Elementary Education and I can relate this in Guam education system. I am glad that my professor gave me this topic because I do have ideas what to talk about in terms of the children's that are going to school. Good health and well-being are important for children because it
develops a positive mindset, emotional, social, and physical things in school. Children's are meant to go in school to gain confidence towards their classmates and the teacher for focusing on them to succeed. 
Another important thing about Good Health and Well-Being is about physical education and physical activity. Back in Middle School, I would have gym class in the morning. The first thing we would do is exercise then do an activity such as Volleyball, Basketball, Soccer, and Running. This will wake up students to be more fit their muscles will be strong by the end of the year. This is a good opportunity for young children to join their classmates to interact with each other. I am 21 years old and I barely excerise and I cannot run 4 laps non-stop anymore how I used to back in Middle School years. I am sad because back then It was easy for me, now It is hard. For my advice for students who are in middle school should take this class to be healthy and to be in good shape for the next following year so they can feel more confident about themselves.

Responsbility








This is my first time using this blogger site that is introduced to me in my ED271 class. This blog will give me a new experience to express my thoughts and feelings.  This site reminds me of Xanga when I was thirteen years old. It is similar to Blogger, but for this generation, it is more popular. Today is my day off from work and it is hump day. My first class starts at 9:30-am to 10:50-am which is my social work class. This class is interesting because we talk about the climate how they are changing every second. We talk about the hurricanes, wars, education from the past, health, and etc. We are also talking about North Korea on how it is affecting Guam's economy. This is serious because mostly tourist is from Japan that visits Guam every year. My second class starts at 11:00-am to 12:20pm. At this moment, we are learning how to create our blog. We need to be able to have 10 blog post by November 22, 2017. 

After class today, I am going to do errands to pay for my car payment and maybe a little bit of shopping at Gpo Ross. Shopping is one of my favorite hobbies to do when I am stressed out or when I pass my exams/test then I would treat myself out which is a good stress relief. I feel stressed out because there are so many things to do for school. I am always tired from school knowing that I will go straight to work 2:30-pm to 6:30pm (4 hours only). After work, I would eat and rest for one hour and catch up on my youtube vlogs. Usually, I would be tired at this point but I have to finish my homework or study for my upcoming exams/test. It is hard when you are full-time student and worker. I really have to use my time wisely and I have to be organized all the time. Before the night ends, I would update my planner on the things I need to do the following day. Overall this is called responsibility. Being a teacher in the future is to prepare how to handle things on your own, always be on top of everything, organizing the students work, and most importantly having fun on what you are doing!
