Distractions

If you are like me then you probably get distracted easily. I was diagnosed with ADHD as a child and I used to have an extremely difficult time concentrating, I couldn't focus on anything! However,after a while my symptoms began to fade away and I started to calm down.


Even though my ADHD has seemed to have gone away, sometimes distractions can get in the way of me doing homework; for example Facebook, twitter, instagram, etc. The easiest and fastest way for me to get my homework done is to remove anything that could distract me, that means that my phone is put away and I don't have any other tabs open other than what is homework related.

Distractions don't only hinder you doing your homework, distractions can get in the way of anything. That is why it is important to remove all distractions whenever you set a goal for yourself. you can accomplish almost anything if you really focus on the goal.

Response to Obama's free community college propasal

President Barack Obama has proposed that the government pay for two years of community college tuition for every American with an interest in progressing toward a degree and sufficient academic marks (BBC.com). By making community college free we, as Americans, will have a higher percentage of an educated population. With a higher educated population our country will progress/advance forward and surpass countries like China, academically.

Free community college will also allow people to save up their money, so they can earn a degree from a state college or a UC school. This will increase the percentage of a specialized work force, which will overall help our country advance forward.

This proposal is not something that is ridiculous or far fetched, President Obama says "Its something that we can accomplish and its something that will train our workforce so we can compete with anybody in the world."
