Jacy's Blog

      T his week taught me a lot of things that shared so much in common. For example, when we talked about the meaning of what succeeding by mistake is, what is the meaning of motivation and what is the difference between mastery and success by Sarah Lewis. These three things were really good and were fun to learn about. One of my favorite parts about this week is when we read about "Rejection, Failure, and the Bigger Picture a Personal History by John McNally". This reading reminded me of everything I've been through in my life and also made me wonder what motivation is, and how you can cope with failures.      When I was young, I started to play sports and my first sport was gymnastics. I started to become more talented at it and I loved it, but there was one thing that happened to me. My coach started to treat me differently from others because every time that I got out of practice my mom used to buy me candy from the store next to it. He comes up to me...

 When I started reading the new grading system, I realized that it's a very good way to help students not to stress about the letter grade and also the feedbacks are a really good way to help students improve their skills and not just receive a grade with no comments. For now, I don't have any questions about the system, I think it's really easy to keep track of it specially because you're the one that's in charge of your own grades.  https://image.slidesharecdn.com/gradingsystem-131126055354-phpapp01/95/grading-system-1-638.jpg?cb=1415180575

 Hello, my name is Jaciangelys, a lot of people call me "Jacy", other "Jacian", or they just call me by my full name but as you can see is very long and hard to pronounce. I am 18 years old, and I was born in Aibonito, Puerto Rico. When I was 13 years old, my family had to the United States because of the hurricane Maria in 2017. I didn't know any English when I move so I had to my new environment and learn how to speak, and it was really hard for me to do well in school and communicate with everyone. I am currently still learning, but college has helped me a lot with my vocabulary and communication. The reason why I decided to come to Allegheny College is because I play volleyball and my coach recruited me, and also because of how good the education is. My major is Biology and my minor is Spanish. I want to be a pharmacist in a future but I'm not sure if that's what I really want. When it comes to me as a person, I love to listen to music, clean, and of...

 My favorite place to be at is Puerto Rico. The reason why I choose this place is because first of all I was born there, and I feel like that's my happy place. Every time I go to Puerto Rico all my stress and worries disappear because how full of energy that country is.
