Feedback Thoughts

It is important to not take negative feedback to heart and focus work on improving yourself continuously throughout life in various factors whether that is at home, school, or in the workplace.

The most productive feedback experiences I have had were from professors who I came into office hours for. The most negative were the first drafts or second drafts that were worth many points. I was so afraid of getting points off, so I was more worried about the grade and check marking the rubric rather than really determining if my paper was overall improving. The kind of feedback that helped me grow the most is feedback that I asked for. I was in orchestra throughout middle school and high school. In addition, I had private lessons. I was fine with her feedback because it was expected. Getting negative feedback when you do not expect can be hard. 


 I read Why It's So Hard to Hear Negative Feedback and while it was true that we need to hear negative feedback to improve, this article did not really help me gain any more information. I agree that we do tend to only want to listen to people that agree with us. I think it really depends on who is giving the feedback and whether it is unsolicited. I agree that we should trust everyone has good intentions with their advice. 


The other article I read was Seven Ways to Crush Self Doubt. This is an issue that I have pretty frequently. The first way was to not compare yourself. I understand that compare ourselves with others is bad, but this article did not give ways to avoid comparing yourself. Overall, the 7 ways to crush self-doubt are good ways, but the article did not give ways to get to those main points.

I've been playing the violin for 10 years now, and I still don't know how to play it.  I love to cook food from all across the world.  My favorite cuisines to cook are Thai and Pakistani food.  I am currently working on a new project where I make the national dish from every country once a week. It will take me a couple years to do it. I also love to make all kinds of desserts. I love making brownies, cakes, and pies from scratch. My favorite food is ice cream.  I have two male tabby cats. They look exactly the same, so most people think that I only have one cat. They have completely different

Week 7 Story: Young Lyfe

("Triplets;"  Web Source:  Flickr )  Bibliography:   The Three Brothers  in Stories from Congo by Richard Edward Dennett.  Hi, I am Timmy. It all started when I was 16 years old. I began dating a beautiful and sweet girl, and her name was Maggie. We went to high school together, and it was fun until one day that it wasn't. We were dating for 6 months and were getting out of that honeymoon stage when she said that she wants me to marry her right now. We were 16, and I couldn't give her that. It didn't end there. She was very emotionally draining, so I broke off our relationship.  A couple years later, I was in college, and there was Maggie. Rather than the usual "hello"'s or "it's been so long,"'s Maggie told me she had to tell me something.  "I'm sorry if I was crazy in high school about getting married. I had your baby when we were in high school. They were triplets actually , but don't worry I don't have them anym
