In the article it explains the 8 main and most important skills an 18 year old should have. The eight skills are; 1.must be able to talk to strangers, 2.must be able to find his way around, 3.must be able to finish assigments on time, 4.must be able to run a household, 5.must be able to handle interpersonal problems, 6.must be able to handle ups and downs when it comes to workloads, 7.must be able to earn and manage money, and they 8.must be able to take risks.
Now Mrs. Freitag wants us too answer which ones of these life skills we are good with, and which ones we could use a little help with. Number one, I believe I am pretty good with making conversations with strangers, I say check. Number two, I'm pretty sure I'll wind up at the University of Iowa and I know the place around there quite good, I say check. Number three, I have started struggling with this one since starting at South East Junior High, so I am goign to keep up at thinking of easier ways to manage all eight periods I have a daily, I say X on this one. Number four, I haven't ever really needed to deal with this one so I cannot say where I stand on it. Number five, this is sometimes much more difficult than other times so I say X. Number Six at this age I don't know if many kids can truthfully say yes to this one, I say X. Number seven, I had my first job as an umpire this past year and I think I did pretty well managing the money I earned from that. Number eight, I think I know when to take risks and when not too. If I could change a school rule, it would be seating charts. Now I know the biggest concern of kids sitting by their friends, is that they will talk to loud and disrupt class time, then just move those ones, don't punish everyone. About half my classes have seating charts, one or two take requests for who you would like to sit around, but the ones that don't have the chart seem to be more of an enjoyable enviroment. I have talked to many kids who just think school is terribly boring, and I don't fully agree, but somewhat. And not having a set seating chart is an easy way to chip a little bit of the boring part of school away.
