We lie, we all do, exaggerate, minimize, partly I think it is because we engage in certain life choices that we think are unacceptable to our family, friends or in other’s views. I think this defines who we are and our goals as individuals, this can be destructive in my opinion and I think it is something we should really pay attention to how we speak even if we have champagne dreams on beer pocket books. At any extent we compromise our integrity in my belief when we engage in any form of lying because it is the Law of attraction that you draw to your environment how you interact with people is what you draw into your life.
I think lying boils down to the self and our self esteem we try to look good both to ourselves and others, when we are threatened our lies are at higher levels. I don’t feel all lies are harmful and at times it protects our privacy. I look at boasting can be less serious than bald-faced lies when you leave out the truth or put in something false is harmful and corrode trust and intimacy.
We are so engrossed in how others perceive us that we end up often unable to separate truth from fiction in our minds and it becomes almost reflexively as though it is part of our normal social discourse. I think we try to hard to impress other people that we are inconsistent with the way we are viewed by others.
I think nearly anyone may tell you lying is wrong, but when it comes to avoiding trouble or saving face or sparing another’s feelings, self-preservation many of us find ourselves lying anyway. I don’t believe that most lies are meant to be hurtful but meant to help or benefit the person fibbing and so often this turns into an instinctual frequent error that we give ourselves permission to do and be irresponsible with deception.
I think many times lying eventually hinders people from having close connections and relationships with people. I do not think that you can tell lies habitually which could potentially to diminishing a person’s ability to deal with bigger problems in life and still maintain being an honest person. I believe people become resentful and burdened when continually lied to.
I think when we are tempted to lie or be less than truthful we need to ask ourselves to dig deep and accept responsibility for our actions and not give away our power and control by lying to avoid our mistakes or short comings or afraid of what people may think of you.
The temptation is unbearable at times but resorting to dishonesty teaches us and others we are unworthy and weak. Ask yourself will you be comfortable and happy or upset with the lie or are you defining yourself according to another person. I agree with Ericsson that we tell lies when we are afraid and I think people lie more often than they realize partly because white lies are socially acceptable and bald-faced lies are not.
I love the saying, “It’s not a lie if you believe it.” Unknown~
I think we need to consider these examples: we lie to impress, we lie to be polite, to avoid punishment, to flatter and most are not intended to harm anyone and at times the truth hurts…I do believe that honesty is an overrated virtue and there are tricky situations and sometimes things are not black and white but I think everyone needs to give their selves a chance to be 100% honest at any cost and to any extent. Lies are falsities, but is it possible to always tell the truth well I do think that honesty is what makes love possible and I do think to be an honest person we should always try to be true, humble and courageous.
We also must know that to avoid tension in families at times it may be a problem to tell all truth. Remember before we judge or critize others to any extent we must think before we answer or speak untruth.
Honesty is about learning how to express openly to another person and setting aside your defenses. I encourage each person to be aware and recognize dishonesty in yourself and others when you see it and don’t be afraid to call it as it is dishonesty.

Chapter One rules for Writers Week 3
Diana Hacker, expresses concepts on “The Writing Process” and how to write a well written paper, develop a subject, determine the type of paper being asked to write, the purpose the paper will have and making sure that your reader’s understand the message you are trying to deliver in your writing.
First, start with a subject, come up with ideas such as brainstorming and ask yourself questions about these thoughts and ideas. Hacker explains there is two styles of writing one is an essay the other a research paper. These both have their own characteristics which identify them. Either one you write you must read about the topic you are writing about so you understand it, annotating the text as you do, make an outline of your reading and begin a rough draft from this outline. Lastly thoroughly revise your paper until reaching the final draft. The difference between the two styles is an essay requires reading the text closely and writing to support the text and in my reading of this it suggested the page number is referred to from the text. In a research paper you must gather information from many resources on your topic and have a bibliography of the resources you used. The final step in this writing process is to sketch an outline or plan about your subject with the sources of information you used.
Hacker, suggested communicating to your reader’s and that they can understand specifically what you are saying. Also answer the questions that may be most important to the audience adequately by asking who, what, where, why and how about the topic.
I feel I will use this writing process in conversation with people as well as my writing that way I can expand my thoughts and ideas by conversing with other people. Other people are a great source of other opinions and thoughts to brainstorm in writing papers. I will definitely utilize the outline tool, I never really have done this but I feel starting out by annotating as you read and then going back and being able to outline from that is an excellent way to have a organized paper and find things you may have missed your first time through. I will also have a plan so that my writing will flow with understanding and interest.

The Joy of Reading and Writing Superman and Me Week 3
a. Why is a “smart Indian” dangerous?
A smart Indian is widely feared and ridiculed by Indians and non-Indians who fight with their classmates on a daily basis. They were expected to be stupid and struggled with basic reading in school. Possibly being educated about their rights and changing the culture of Indian reservations as they are known to be ill-literate uneducated and stupid. They are taught to keep their heads low and expected not to speak up or answer.
Because education doesn’t stop smart Indians like Alexie from achieving their hopes and dreams in life such as he did becoming a writer and educator.
b. Dangerous to whom?
Indians because of the potential that they know it gives them to be an educated smart Indian. They are not stupid as expected and so they stand out among their people and probably ridiculed and feared or even threatened.
Non-Indians because they don’t keep quite anymore they become curious to explore their learning potentials and are not typical stereotype Indians that are stupid. This would definitely be highly threatened to their own people and non-Indians to continue to exceed and be smart.
c. How could it be dangerous to be smart?
Because they are ridiculed and feared and don’t stay quiet when non-Indian teachers ask for answers which causes their classmates fight with them. Knowledge is power, its gives you the ability to advance in life without many restrictions.
d. What does it mean to be smart in contemporary U.S. society?
Being school educated, provided common sense and to save your life being educated opens the door to anything you want in life. You can have a career toward financial success. Also having a college degree you are not stereotyped as ignorant but educated and with the ability to have an opinion and earning potential.
e. What do people need to know and/or be able to do, and where is all of this learned? I believe that people need to be able to read, write and communicate and they learn this through some form of school education. They need to know that they have the right and can be educated to become successful. They need to know the resources available to them to pursue their success. Yet I also want to state that not going to school or college or being educated today doesn’t make you stupid, but it does have its limitations that may be harder obstacles to overcome. Anyone can become successful with knowledge and personal effort to learn and educate themselves.
f. How is education a means to save one’s life?
Education empowers people with hope, inspiration and drive to succeed in life to be a better person with inner self confidence. This education is a building of self reliance, image and meaning to one’s self.
g. How is Alexie attempting to save the life of the students he works with?
Alexie visits the schools frequently, tells stories with learning meaning and value to the students and encouraging them to be what they want to be in life. He is teaching these kids to write poems, short stories and novels. They are reading more advanced then they may have without him who gives not arrogance or worthlessness but meaning.
How did Alexie save his own life?
Alexie did not give up, he wasn’t quite when expected to be, he had curious eager to learn and didn’t give up on his goal and kept reading as his father did but till he fell asleep which helped his brain keep the attention of his readings in the most peaceful time when he rested so he was able to take that to his conscious in the days. Most important he didn’t let anyone tell him or stop him by telling him he was stupid and he spoke out!
h. Choose a quote from the reading and share your critical thinking in response.
“I refused to fail I was smart. I was arrogant. I was lucky.” Alexie used these words in his story depicting that Indian children were suppose to fail in school, most did. He loved to read everything and I think he shows how easy it is to teach young children how to read with enjoyment. Alexie pursued as a writer in life because of his eager determination to not fail or give up. He gives back to children who weren’t as lucky as he was and doesn’t give up on them even though they may not be trying to save their lives as he did. He really states how the world can be viewed as a book “we are all just paragraphs in one big long essay.”
i. Come up with your own question/topic on the reading.
I would possibly ask what literacy means to Sherman Alexie.
My first topic would be ways of not struggling with English and writing and replacing them with singing powwow songs.
How can be placing a comic book in every child’s hands educating them to read or as an inspiration to conquer and achieve in life.

Chapter 46 Summaries Rules for Writer's
Chapter 46 covers information for writing about texts such as essays, articles, books, advertisements, and photographs. It helps to explain different types of texts and what they are by easily breaking down the text's content. Chapter 46 shows how to summarize our thoughts and ideas between our emotions, reactions and analysis by demonstrating our understanding about the main points which gives us useful hints for reading and writing.
I learned how to read actively from this chapter, how to take notes on questions and thoughts and how to go back and outline with a pencil instead of a highlighter by circling points and writing in margins. A pencil allows you to erase and change ideas and thoughts, unlike a highlighter you’re stuck with the illuminated text once you highlighted an area. I did this in this chapter after I read this instruction and realized it worked quite well for me.
The other suggestion for note taking that I thought would work quite well for me, as I love to take notes but find more times than not they are all over the paper and unorganized, is by setting up an outline. This outline would highlight key points of the text and I would probably have to re-read the text when using this method, which is a suggestion I would make anyway because I always feel it is a good way to catch things you may have missed in the first reading.
Lastly, writing a summary is basically just showing your understanding of the text and the main ideas you gathered from the reading. You correctly begin writing a summary with a title and continue by writing it in third person as chapter 46 suggests.
This was a very useful exercise and I plan to use the techniques to help write concise and efficient papers as the semester goes on. I learned many useful tools of writing and reading to take with me for future use making reading and writing much more simple and concise.

Freewriting Exericse Dialogue Week 2
“Free writing Exercises ~ Dialogue” ~ Week two
Free writing is letting your thoughts flow as they will, writing down whatever ideas and thoughts come into your mind and not to produce pages of polished prose but a way to formulate ideas, warm your brain and simply just get yourself in a habit of thinking and writing. This is a place to reflect, make connections between your experiences while learning to put words on paper without judgments. Free writing is actually a loose unorganized way of writing for a period of time without stopping. The purpose of free writing is basically to continue to write random thoughts without correcting anything even misspelling the point is to just not stop writing.
The basic definition of Free writing or another term they call this style is “automatic writing”; this is stream of consciousness writing or a prewriting technique in which a person writes continuously for a set period of time without regard to spelling, grammar or topic. (Resource: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free writing).
This type of writing is meant to expand our awareness and grow stronger writing muscles as we put pen to paper and write freely. I believe this is how we can developed stronger writing by simply just taking the time to practice writing openly without judging or critiquing as you put words and thoughts on paper without editing.
Free writing to me seems very flighty but yet is also very interesting as I think of it in a way to do just exactly as it states "Freely" write and not think about editing as your mind flows with thoughts and ideas and you allow yourself to babble.
I was somewhat skeptical about free writes simply because I am so use to being in control of my thoughts and how I write rather than just letting my pen meet the paper and my mind pour out what comes to it. I can honestly see how it can improve my writing in many ways without wasting my time as I originally thought. I can see how it will start to expand my mind with strong points of interest and ideas which will better reflect my opinions and meanings of what I am writing.
I believe I will take the advice that was suggested in this week’s reading and practice this at least three times a week to better improve my writing skills.

Introduction Dialogue Autobiography
GOALS for this class: “Free write” Dialogue ~
My goals are simple, I would like to pass this class with an “A”…learn and absorb new interesting information on this topic and move closer toward accomplishing my degree in Psychology. For this course I would like to develop a deeper appreciation for writing without critiquing myself, let go of my control of just expressing my thoughts on paper and expanding my mind as I do write.
Other than my life goal being accomplishing my degree in psychology and utilizing it in treatment centers and advocacy work as well as a speaker of Behavioral change I also look positively forward at achieving everything I would like to in my personal and professional life without my head spinning.
With that said I am a facing forward, straight ahead open person ready for what this course outline has to offer and enhance in me. I am keeping as clear of head as possible and clearly concisely and openly going to reply in my words, my story and what I can offer to each homework assignment.
So, worries that I may have, knowing myself doesn’t seem like I have any right now, but possibly just running short on time...this course seems to ask me to let go and write freely which seems to be a hard thing at times to allow yourself to do, but I do want to accomplish this task so I will take it on eager and ready with a willingness to learn and grasp all I can from this course.
This is my second year and fifth semester at SRJC which I am specifically going for my AA/AS in psychology and a possible second in Advocacy with SRJC. Most of my courses have been online and most of them this spring are as well...I myself prefer this, for the freedom and ability to take many courses!!
I am taking this course not only to add to my accomplished courses toward my degree but satisfy my interests personally. Being back in college after so many years has been one of the biggest challenges of my life!! This also has shown me to allow myself to make more mistakes in life and realize I learn quicker!!
Which takes me onto inviting you into a more in depth relation with me and that is my personal venue!
I was born in Santa Rosa, moved to Oregon when I was 10 years old, raised horses and sheep as well as competed in 4-H and FFA with both. After high school I followed my high school sweet heart to San Diego and went to San Diego State college in hopes of obtaining my business degree, that didn’t pan out. I joined the United States Marines with the only requirement of myself was getting a direction and learning discipline with myself. Once this was achieved I didn’t stick with it and for many years since wished I would have gone back, but didn’t. So, I then had a series of careers that all had endings. I moved back to California 5 years ago from Oregon and I am happily rooted back in Healdsburg on Fitch Mtn Rd. the Russian River side. I started with SRJC a couple years ago and have taken mostly online courses, because I live part time in Healdsburg and part time in Atascadero, Ca where my step son lives with his Dad. This is quite a story in itself, I adopted him when he was three years old, although his Dad and I have only ever been best friends, but his mother left and I stepped up to the plate to co-parent my best friend’s son with him.
So, I am now going toward my long awaited passion of being a Psychologist and want to specialize in implementing treatment programs in centers and advocacy work to help those transitioning back home after their programs.
I do not currently work, so school is my primary focus, as well as I don’t have any animals to occupy my time…so it frees me up to concentrate on accomplishing my goal.
I am the type of person who is a sponge to learn and experience new things with eagerness and both feet in!! I love to work in a comfortable pace to accomplish my work but as life goes at times it doesn’t always work this way…I have often caused myself to run short due to the amount I put on my plate and commit myself to. I think with age and at times falling short or coming close to not making deadlines I am learning my limitations and that I can do many things but not all at once!!
So, If I had to compare myself to a plant as to what type of learner I am I would say: I put the best plant forward to describe me and that would be a “Arrowwood viburnum” because they are easy to care for and produce wine vines…that are flavorful, they are rich in color and give in abundance. Their goal is to produce and they do it miraculously as expected on time if not before expected.
One last closing: I tend to be long winded, so another area may be learning to shorten up saying the same thing!!
Thank you for reading~ My best to all for this course and your life directions!!
