7/14/2018 0 Comments Be All Parts of You...While texting one of my nieces today, I gave her some advice and thought that it was pretty good. So, I asked her if I could share it and she said that she did not mind. Me: Hi ... I got a headboard for my bed. How are you feeling today? Niece: Yasssssss!!!!❤️❤️❤️ And I'm good hbu Me: 🤗 I'm doing well. I'm taking a break today. Niece: Yay!!! Finally with the breaks. IDK if it's just me but I feel bad when I take breaks. Me: LOL It's okay to take breaks... You are human, not Super Woman. I understand what you mean though. But even God rested, and I'm not better than Him. 🤷🏽♀️🙃 Niece: I get what ur saying 😌 Maybe I just don't like long breaks Me: It's okay to do something different when you take a break. Like when I painted my wall or took down the exhaust vent in my bathroom.  I had to get help installing the new one though-lol.  It is soooo much quieter than the old one. I can hear myself think!
The same person who helped to install it on Monday helped me with my headboard. Taking a break from one thing can mean using your other talents, gifts, and skills. You're creative. Be all parts of you, not one-sided. And give other parts (academics) a break. Niece: Oh that's super cool! Are you really handy? And ok I'll try that Thank you! Me: ... from time to time. It will help you to be even more creative in school because you allow other parts of your brain to work. Sing, dance...write stories or tell them. Enjoy. Lol, I do alright [handiwork] but I also know when I need HELP! Lol You're welcome.

I Am Because We Are Creative Equals...My youngest brother, Aaron, took these pictures on April 28, 2017. Aaron and my dad attended my very first presentation during the American Educational Research Association 2017 Annual Meeting in San Antonio, TX. I presented "I Am Because We Are Creative Equals: Technology Skills as Defined, Discussed, and Demonstrated by Students in a Middle School" during the Online Teaching & Learning Special Interest Group (SIG) paper session on "Promoting Student Success."
I was also glad to have my sister-classmates from Heritage Knowledge in Action (HeKA) Research Group, one research partner, and two professors in the audience. They not only supported me by being present, but they also encouraged me by asking questions. I ran out of presentation time before I could share everything, so their questions helped me share out what I did not get a chance to say during my presentation. Thanks, good people! Lesson learned: NO MORE THAN 10 SLIDES for any presentation. En Español Mi hermano menor, Aaron, tomó estas fotos el 28 de abril de 2017. Aaron y papá asistieron a mi primera presentación en la Reunión Anual 2017 de la Asociación de Investigación Educativa Americana en San Antonio, TX. Presenté 'Soy Porque Somos Iguales Creativos: Habilidades Tecnológicas Definidas, Discutidas y Demostradas por Estudiantes en una Escuela Secundaria' durante la sesión de papel del Grupo de Interés Especial (SIG) de Enseñanza y Aprendizaje en Línea sobre 'Promoción del Éxito Estudiantil'. También me alegró tener a mis compañeras de clase de la Heritage Knowledge in Action (HeKA) Research Group, una compañera de investigación y dos profesores en la audiencia. No solo me apoyaron estando presentes, sino que también me alentaron haciendo preguntas. Me quedé sin tiempo de presentación antes de poder compartir todo, así que sus preguntas me ayudaron a comunicar lo que no tuve la oportunidad de decir durante mi presentación. ¡Gracias, buena gente! Lección aprendida: NO MÁS DE 10 DIAPÓSITIVAS para cualquier presentación. |
