Blog Post #1

1.My name is Larry Demetrius Mcmillan. I was born in Biloxi, Mississippi. My father was in the military for 21 years. We travel all throughout the states from east to west. Majority of my life I lived in Jacksonville, Florida. Elementary and Middle School I went a public school. For a high school I went to a well known private school in the state of Florida called The Bolles School. Bolles is know for their academics and sports. While I was there I had to wear shirt and tie. I played football, basketball, baseball, I participated weightlifting, and ran track. While attending these prestigious high school I won two state titles in football. My 10th and 12th grade year. Because of an injury I was forced to makes other routes to getting to college besides football.
After high school I attended a college by the name of Sante College in Gainesville, Florida on a dance scholarship. I danced the at this college none stop. Becoming more flexible and better as a dancer. Shortly after a year and a half I had a old injury present itself again forcing me to changes paths to a higher learning in a different location and different major. I decided to go to school at USA because it was cheaper. My fathers GI Bill pays for my tuition. I chosen the fielded of education because I would like to become a physical therapist once i graduate.

2. I learned the short view by Randy Pausch on Time Management is that it is not bad to ask questions, and that questions generates answers. I also learned that time and money have a direct relationship. That if you are terrible at time, most of the time you are terrible with money. I also learned that just don't do short term planning. Have a daily plan, a weekly plan, a monthly plan, as well as a semester plan. "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail" is by far my favorite quote in the video. Just know that its ok to change your plan once you have one.

  1. Proofread:
    "I chosen the fielded of education " should be I chose the field of education...

    Also watch out for lower case i's.

    Did you find out anything about Dr. Pausch?

  2. Larry McMillan, My name is Vicki Nelson I was reading your biography and it was very interesting. My father too was in the service however he didn't have to move all over the place we were lucky and got to stay right here in Alabama. I understand about changing your career a lot. Because originally I wanted to be a nurse but the education career kept calling me instead. I currently work at Foley Middle School as a teacher's aide until I can get my teaching degree. So my good thing is that I already got my foot in the door towards where I want to be. Well I was very nice talking to you and maybe I will see you in class.
