ISTJ

I play the insight game and my results where I am an ISTJ. I have taken personality quizzes before and gotten different results so I don’t know. I read what it had to say about my personality type, which is pretty accurate. I found it pretty neat that the professions listed that I would be good at is one I am going to school for. I am majoring in special education. I am in total agreement about what they say about me being faithful to my family, friends and my country. Especially when coming to my family I am very protective of them. They say ISTJ resist change, which is so true I hate small changes. When I have to make a change as small as having to sit in a different sit in a classroom or using a different shower in the dorms, which bugs the crap out of me. The test pegged my personality pretty well I think.

The only areas that I don’t think I fit into are I am not patient like the results said I should. My mom tells me I am one of the most impatient people she has ever met. I don’t think I am very conservative either. I think I am the opposite. I would consider myself very liberal. I think the Insight game was fun though.

Unity week

I attend Civil Rights: Now&Then that Rev. Joseph Lowery spoke on. I got there early and there were lots of people in the lobby of Pruis Hall waiting like me, to be seated. I was given a program and a water bottle on my way to my seat. There was a slide show going before the event got started pictures of Dr. King Jr. and Rev. Lowery. The Triumph Gospel Choir preformed at the beginning they sounded great. I noticed that the choir was 99.9% black. Which Rev. Lowery also pointed that out later when he talked. The President of Alpha Phi Alpha came on next to introduce Ball State University President Dr. Jo Ann Gora. Dr. Jo Ann Gora came out talked about Rev. Lowery and Unity week.
Rev. Lowery came out and sat down in his chair. He got a standing ovation before he said anything to us. He told the audience to sit down. He talked more about his experience with meeting President Obama and speaking at the benediction at the inauguration address nearly a year ago. A couple things he said that stood out me were “honor the mission” and “love always embraces justice”. He talked about how the day revered for Dr. King Jr. should be used to for service and not just to have time to remember the man himself, which is also important though as well. His ideas about the war and war in general where very different he had a point though about how you can’t reason with people who are willing to strap bombs to themselves to blow up buildings and such. His sense of humor was great he made me laugh a couple time throughout the time he spoke. He believes the Middle East could have some better results through nonviolence and marches.

New Semester & Project

My goals for English 102 are to become a even better writer. I want to be aware of how to make my statements clear grammar wise so my reader gets what I am saying. I still need work with sources and citing in MLA format. I like to stop procrastinating with the deadlines as well. That’s not just for this class but all my classes when it comes to doing my work last minute.
The event I plan on going to during unity week is Civil Rights: Now&Then with Rev. Lowery in Pruis Hall. I don’t really now what to expect while there. I think it will be interesting though and informative. I also may attend a Thursday event they are having in Pruis Hall as well. I think the progress that has been made is great. I never thought I see an African American President in my lifetime but now there is one. The next step would be allowing a women President but that’s just me.
