Favorite Foods

When I was little, I was always hungry. I would have to say my favorite foods were pudding and mashed potatoes. I was also the weird kid that liked fruit and vegetables too. I still like majority of the foods that I liked when I was a kid except for the foods that I ate too often. Although I wish I could eat like I did when I was a kid, now I try to eat semihealthy foods most of the time. I still really like fruits and vegetables, and I also like chicken a lot. I'm not a big meat eater but every once in a while, I'll get a craving for some. I'm also addicted to cereal. It's my go to meal if I can't find anything else that I want to eat. I'm not really sure why since I ate it almost every day before school when I was younger. I pretty much love any breakfast food any time of the day. I think it's because I'm more of a morning person and I was always told breakfast was the most important meal of the day.

My Opinion

My opinion really mattered when I was picking out where I wanted to go to college since it was my decision in the first place. My parents wanted me to go to Winona State, but I really didn't want to stay in Winona and their business program wasn't as good as MSU's program. I didn't really think about it at the time, but my opinion of the schools I toured mattered more than my parents opinion. Of course I took their opinions into consideration, but for the most part I relied on my own to make my final decision since I was the one who had to actually go to the school. I feel like my opinion matters more in college than it did in high school. Not only in classes but with my friends too. It seems like my professors and friends are more interested in what I have to say and actually take my opinion in to consideration rather than listen to what I have to say and throw it aside.

Questioning Teachers

I think the teacher that wrote a letter to the parent's of a student who kept arguing and questioning the teacher's lessons is very old fashioned. It definitely reflects the teacher's skills and how little she cares for the student. If I were that student's parent, I would be outraged that a teacher gave my child detention for simply being curious and wanting to learn. Most teachers I've had love discussions where students ask questions. It helps the student develop deeper thinking skills and allows them to work through a problem if they're wrong which I think helps them remember what they're taught much better than just absorbing information like a sponge. Keeping student's from having an opportunity to question why things are the way they are doesn't allow their minds to expand and grow. How can they learn to have a mature discussion with someone they don't agree with if they're not taught how to handle situations like that in the right way?
