Dr. Barnett

I would like to become a physical therapist. This requires a doctrines degree which is why I titled my blog Dr. Barnett. I like the idea of being a physical therapy because I get to be the one to help people recover and get back to normal. I would love to be able to send a professional athlete back onto the field, court, track or whatever it may be. I would like to be able to make a difference in peoples lives. even though it is just helping someone to recover it could mean the world to them. Some people may think that they will never be the same and I would have the opportunity to change their mindset. I could be the person to show them that just because they hit a bump doesn't mean they can't get back on track.

Is That Stress?

My score on the stress test was 10 out of 24. The results said that this mean that I have my life in good control but that I have to work on the bad habits and that choices I make that could cause stress. There are many things that stress me out the biggest being college. It is very hard to be in college, play sports, be a high school student, and still have a teenage and it can be very stressful. Another thing that stresses me out is people who constantly do the unnecessary. Sometimes it makes it harder to focus on my academics which leads to stress. But I am learning to just ignore it and not entertain it, just kill it with kindness. The way I deal with the stress of college is I take one day to just relax and enjoy doing nothing at all and then I resume work immediately. I also listen to music and sleep and try to be as lazy as possible on this relax day.

Organize Your Life!

I currently use a planner and I use my Ipad's reminder list. I set specific dates and times for certain things, but there are times when I do forget. Those are the times where I typically need to remember. I try not to forget things but it happens. One of my biggest battles is procrastination because I am always busy so when I finally get a chance to relax I want to have time to be on social media and just chill. But because I am a student that means NO PASS NO PLAY. I have to pass and I don't set low standards for myself so I strive for A's and B's in my classes. This is why I have to constantly battle procrastination because I can't afford to be lazy. Procrastination can hurt your grades and those who need you, especially when you play a team sport. When you play sports and you are an asset to the team no being able to play is one of the worst things for you and the team because they need you. That is why you don't have room for procrastination because it can hurt you. The way I fight procrastination is I do things throughout the day so that when I get home my work load is very minimal not to much and not to hectic. Also, I do my work from hardest to easiest and when I get stuck or frustrated I take a break and do the easy work. It helps avoid not getting work done and calming down so that I cant think straight.

Ally!

Hello,

          I am Alaydrain Barnett but I like to be called Ally and I am concurrent/ dual credit student. This means that I am working towards my degree separately from high school all together and taking college classes during high school. I attend cedar valley community college as a concurrent student and I am working towards an associates degree of science. I am also a dual credit student at Navarro community college through Life School. I am still a concurrent student and in a few weeks I plan on doing a mini-mester. I would really like to graduate high school with my degree but if not then at least pretty close to it. Even though I am already a college student there is still plenty of use for this class.

         This class is going to help me understand what it takes to get into the university mindset. I think that it will also help me to know what steps I need to take to make end meets in the finance department of things. I already know from my older sister that my parent incomes are to much for me to qualify for financial aid. So if I want to go to a university I am going to need a lot of scholarship money. I think that this class will teach me how to apply for a university college and even scholarships. That is the most important thing for me.
