Questions

It is boring around here... so I am going to flood the boards with random things!

Starting with these:

2. Do you keep a diary/journal, or scrapbook?

3.Should schools offer cash bonuses for good test scores?

4. Would you ever like to take a learning class online?

5. What motivates you in life?

1. Do you use apps on your phone/device? If so, do you find them helpful, addictive, or just annoying?

Yep, and they're all addictive. Bible, Facebook, Pinterest, Candy Crush, Snapchat... lol.

2. Do you keep a diary/journal, or scrapbook?: I used to, but not anymore. Facebook documents enough :P

3.Should schools offer cash bonuses for good test scores?: What?! Is this a thing? You get good grades for good test scores.. are those not enough now? lol

4. Would you ever like to take a learning class online?: I already have, and enjoy it more than a classroom setting. I learn better this way.

5. What motivates you in life?: My faith.

1. Do you use apps on your phone/device? If so, do you find them helpful, addictive, or just annoying?

Yes I do, and I find them addicting because I go to them whenever I am bored...which is quite often. I also find them annoying especially when they have a glitch, or they just don't work right. Happens a lot with me for some reason...

2. Do you keep a diary/journal, or scrapbook?

I have tried to in the past, but unfortunately I never really keep to it. I don't really find it enlightening to talk about my day, or whatever...it seems to just be a waste for me.

3.Should schools offer cash bonuses for good test scores?

I think that they should offer a discount on college bills, if that even makes sense. I would be rather happy if the would do that, because then I get rewarded in a way for getting good grades in college.

4. Would you ever like to take a learning class online?

I have already taken a class online. I liked it; it was a lot easier for me than taking a normal class.

5. What motivates you in life?

I would also have to say that it is a tie between my faith, and my family.

1. Do you use apps on your phone/device? If so, do you find them helpful, addictive, or just annoying?

Yes I do, but they're not for fun, most of them help me in my major, except for Whatsapp and facebook, no games.

2. Do you keep a diary/journal, or scrapbook?

I do! But I neglect them every now and then, not a daily habit.

3.Should schools offer cash bonuses for good test scores?

They do here! Especially for grade 9 & 12, not ALL schools ofcourse, but they do.

5. What motivates you in life?

Anything challenging, and putting mom's happiness as a goal helps me work harder.

Yes, Games always are addictive and it helps me clear my head and now think so much about life

2. Do you keep a diary/journal, or scrapbook?

Journal, but I rarely write in it anymore, would rather write my feelings through a poem or vent on facebook.

3.Should schools offer cash bonuses for good test scores?

No, I don't think that would solve anything and cause more probalems in the world.

No, Honestly I think I would need someone to show me how to do something and I am more visual so it is easier for me to learn in real life, (unless its a writing class)

I love word games! Scramble. Words with friends ( Mr. Larry sorry the last time we played, I left the game hanging. My iPod took a dive into the washing machine along with my bed sheets, and I forgot to check the game on FB). Another apps: clockwork, brain school, wordbrain, 2048, 94 degrees, sudoku,
And pandora. I find then addictive and helpful.
