I'm an avid basketball player. I love to play basketball everyday, so it seemed like a no brainer that I should join UOG's basketball intramurals. I thought of it as a nice experience, and a big confidence booster for myself. The competition is actually quite good, although I would prefer if there were better people playing.
My team did pretty all right. We didn't win the championship, but it was ok. I only joined for the practice. Anyway, we'll win it next near, no doubt about it.

UOG event - The Great Debates
I have seen the great debates, and I have to say that Underwood Aguon did a nice job of laying the smackdown on Camacho Cruz. I think that negativity, however, is what led Underwood to losing the election. No one wants to hear that the situation on Guam is very sh!tty. I have to admit that the way UA presented Guam as a near disaster area made me think twice about voting for them.
Initially I wanted to vote for UA. I, too, thought that change was needed. UA, however, made it seem like Guam was in a sh!t-hole that we could never get out of unless they win the election. I'm a very positive guy, and hearing negative arguments like that makes me not impressed by them. I felt that CC's vision of the future was very realistic and did not have the promises of change that will occur with a month.

What is my true color?
My true color is orange, mainly because I like make things organized and I tend to become irritated when things aren't "perfect" in my eyes. Unfortunately, orange is not my favorite color. Maybe it should be since it IS my true color, but I'll be the judge of that.
I think true colors does help when trying to figure out which people is good to work with. However, it isn't a good idea just to base your decisions on true colors alone. I think the individual person is not defined by a singe "true" color.

What I did learn/didn't learn and what do I expect my grade to be?
Well, mostly learned about thinking critically and about how people differ in the way they think. People react differently based on the situation, although it seems that people living Guam tend to think the same way, mainly because we are culturally diverse. I also learned that UOG does have a lot to offer me, and I should take advantage of the oppurtunities given to me.
I'm not quite sure what my grade should be. I think it should be a B or at least a low A, mainly because I attended 90% of the classes (probably more than that). Also, I pay attention during class and I take part in class discussions often. I also did my journals :).

Case Study: Cement for Sale
This is a very difficult situation to be in. It's hard for me to be exactly sure what I would do in that kind of situation, since my actions could change if the situation actually does get happen to me. Plus, I don't think I would get into the cement business.
Anyway, I wouldn't use that cement in my own house. However, because it's my job to sell cement, I would sell it anyway. Hey, I have to make a living somehow, and if it leads me to be dishonest, I would do it anyway, even though I know it is morally wrong to do so.

My Learning Style
I feel that my learning style is a kind of mix of all three learning styles. I like to walk around when I think about things, I tend to remember things better when I listen to them, but I mostly learn by reading a lot too. I feel like more of a visual learner than anything else.
I like to view picures in my head when I read or hear a lecture. I also tend to re-enact scenes in my head while reading, just to give myself a better idea. I have to see something in face in order to remember it. I can't just listen to someone to remember things - I have to visualize to remember better.

Why I do I vote for certain candidates?
I vote for certain candidates based on a number of reasons. I rely mostly on both my family's and friends' opinions on certain candidates. I also have this weird philosophy that goes something like, "If he/she shook my hand, then I'll vote for them."
I also base my votes on the reputation of the candidate. If the candidate has a bad reputation, then I simply will not vote for them. Also, I base my votes on whether or not the candidates did good during the debates.

What is critical thinking?
Critical thinking is taking the information given for an issue or a situation and taking a stand or making a decision on the issue or situation, respectively. Critical thinking is not just thinking hard or thinking a lot, although those things are just a part of critical thinking as a whole. It's about taking opinions of others and the information about a certain issue and making an informed decision or opinion based on those factors.
Critical thinking can be described as "thinking outside the box," but it is not limited to just that. Critical thinking is important for everyday life. It is also important for decisions that have to made like voting or perhaps representing someone in a court case.

Why did I choose to go to college?
There are several main reasons why I chose to go to college. One of such is to further my education as a student. It's important for me to attend college and get a degree so that the amount of jobs I could apply for can increase. Another reason is just for the overall experience of going to school at a higher level and the experience of meeting new people.
Pressure from my family is another reason why I attended college. My family is really counting on me to go to college and get a good job afterwards. Family pressure is not the only reason, but pressure of society to succeed is another reason why I chose to go to college.

What do I see myself doing 10 years from now?
10 years from now, I see myself with a PH.D. If not a PH.D., then probably at least a Master's Degree in whatever major I decide to take. If I keep up my determination to try to go all the way, the it's possible for me to reach my goal.
Also, I see myself with a family and some kids. I'm not too sure what job I'll take, but there's a good chance that I'll be a teacher or a professor, since I do want to take education as my major. I think that my future can change at any moment due to my philosophy of "playing it by ear."

Where was I during 9/11?
When 9/11 happened, I was actually sleeping, mainly because it happened in the wee hours of the morning. My mom woke me up super early just to watch it. I thought she was crazy, cuz it was about 5-6 AM when it happened.
It was cool though, cuz my mom made us skip school just to witness the twin towers fall down. I thought of it as just another day of no school. My mom thought that it was important to watch something that will affect history forever.
