"What does the re-election of President Barack Obama mean for me and the world?"

By this re-election, I think many things such as a situation of Middle East will change and improve a lot. For me. It is not big event. Which means it doesn’t mean so much for me. Because I don't have many information about US and relationship with US. For World, I think it is big changes especially for US and Middle East. They will improve and fix themselves. And they have to change the relationship with Middle East. In addition, things that I hope to US is fixing of relationship of China, Korea and Japan. The relationship of these three countries are not good. So I hope US intervention to Asia

Goal Setting

 Assignment 2: Before the due date, write a blog post in which you reflect
on the time management goals you set on 19/20 Sept. In your paragraph, include whether or not you met your goals,any problems you had, any successes you had, and anything you learned. Also include an updated version of your goals based on your experience. (250 word min.)

Things that I learned from time management assignment are balance of rest and working. In a first time, I put lot of working time on my schedule. Because I thought this is a best to work most efficiently. But I was so tired to work by this schedule. Consequently, I changed a schedule. I put rest time more than last one. I followed this schedule and I didn't feel so much tired for it. I learned something from this schedule. Good schedule require some of rest time. Rest (break) is time to refresh the mind. Like a computer, if you use a computer constantly, then computer start getting slow. Because computer became hot. To use your computer faster, you have to shut down and wait a 10 or 5 minute. And you have to do same things for your body. The body requires some break per 1 or 2 hour. I tried it and my working speed get faster. This is a one technique I learned from this assignment and I will use it a lot.

You briefly met with a college recruiter last week, and you reviewed a number of questions to ask about colleges. This must have gotten you thinking about your future, so tell us about it: Without any strict requirements, write about your expectations, goals, fears, concerns, questions that you have concerning your future in college. Additionally, now that you know that recruiters want to hear about you and your intellectual interests and pursuits, how do you think being an aware Academic Leader will give you an advantage when applying to the college of your choice? 

First, I love so much to learn computer technology and use this to makes my life style better. So I would like to go to the college that I can learn about computer technology specially. But I do not know a lot about college. So this is my one of concern that I am with. In addition, I am not sure I can follow technical class such as about computer program because of my language skill such as a English and Portuguese. It is also my one of concern. But I will try about them. Because my goal is to be engineer. As a result I will learn more and more and try to go to college. I concern a lot about college. But I do not fear to go to college. And I think to be academic leader makes a lot of advantage to you.

"In our first two weeks, you have read two articles, seen several videos and been engaged in several discussions related to the concept of academic leadership. At this point, and in your own words, what does the concept mean to you? What subjects or interests do you have a sophisticated, intellectual understanding of that you may want to turn into a major academic project in this class? How do people sometimes abuse academic knowledge to manipulate others? How would you feel if someone used your work to manipulate others (as Jared Diamond claims Mitt Romney has)? How can creating academically sophisticated, intellectual leaders help prevent such people from taking advantage of others the way they do? How can this create a stronger democratic society?" 

In the first two week, I have seen some video and article and discussed with each other. I think concept of academic leadership is to guide and help to make academic success. It is also help and guide of new technology in 21th century.

I interested about technology such as computer programming and may want to turn into a major academic project in this class.

People abuse academic knowledge to manipulate others sometimes like Mitt Romney. If someone used my work to manipulate others, Then I will feel angry.

I think to create academically sophisticated, intellectual leaders help prevent such people from taking advantage of others the way they do. In addition, It can create a stronger democratic society. Because It makes a everyone successful and makes a democratic society.
