About Me
Hello, my name is Windy Powell. I was born and raised right here in Mobile, Alabama. I attended high school at Mary G. Montgomery High School where I graduated with all honors in 2004. It took me 6 years and getting engaged to realize that getting a degree was something I wanted to achieve. I am currently a junior at the University of South Alabama working towards a bachelor’s degree in elementary and special education. Working with children has always been my life calling, which is why I currently work at Azalea City Christian School where I work as a preschool teacher. I love my job!
I am married to the most amazing man Jared Powell. We have been together for just over 6 years now and have been married since November 20, 2010. I feel extremely blessed to have him in my life and I am grateful every day for his encouragement and his pushiness that keeps me working on my degree.
I also attend church at First Baptist Church Satsuma, where I am a member of the celebration choir. I am firm believer in Jesus and his all teachings. I believe all of the work I put in to earn my degree is for a reason and that God has placed this calling upon my life so that I can help change the life of at least one child, and that makes all of this worth it.
Randy Pausch and Time Mangement
Randy Pausch was a man faced with a terminal cancer, and even though he had a personal battle with time he gives great insight on how to manage time more wisely. Pausch was obviously wise beyond his years when he said “plan each day, week, and semester.” Pausch says even if the plan changes you have set your goals and that alone puts you one step closer to achieving them. He provides a list of things to take into account for planning out ones days, weeks, semesters: why am I doing this, why will I succeed, what will happen if I don’t do this. He reminds us to do the right things and not just do things right, because ultimately what is the point of doing anything right if doing it at all doesn’t matter. For man who is on the verge of being out of time he leaves us with the tools necessary to utilize the time we are given and turn it into many great things.
The assignment was reread. Your assignment is all done in one post, which is the way it was suppose to be done. Every part of the assignment was completed but the optional part. Each part has a bold header and appropriate line breaks. In the first part, you have two paragraphs about you and they are correctly done. In the second part, you summarized the video very well but didn't clearly state what you learned from it. The video was identified clearly in your title. The spelling was correct and the grammar was as well, for the most part. I thought it was well written, yes. And I can tell that you have either heard of Dr. Pausch before or you did, in fact, research him more.
