At work a couple of days ago, I overheard an aid explain to a resident about being how she was upset because of something the resident said. The resident told another resident that the aid had a man voice. When the aid confronted the resident, the resident used the "I didn't do it" statement. She told the aid, "I didn't say that, I said you have a deep voice." A lot of people say "I didn't do it" when they really did. I think it is easier to say you did it and solve the problem, instead of lying about it and causing a bigger problem.

I'm watching Courage the Cowardly Dog with my nephew and it is a great example of nonverbal communication! The the elderly couple is in danger and Courage is trying to tell them, but he can't talk so he acts out what is happening. The elderly couple doesn't understand what he is trying to say, but Courage trys anyways!

I like the Mr. Bean videos we watch in class! They are a perfect example of nonverbal communication. It teaches people how well communication can be understood without even using words! Mr. Bean gave clear visual on what he was saying nonverbally and I think everyone knew what he meant. He was also funny and entertaining so it was very interesting to watch!

The color video we watched in class was farely true about how colors make people feel. I agree with most of the colors that the lady described. Different colors make people feel certain ways. For example, wearing blue can make someone feel calm or happy. Blue is a very relaxed color. On the opposite hand, people may think of red when they think of angry. I like wearing black sweatshirts because it doesnt make me feel like i'm standing out and i'm just blending in. Other people may disagree, but everyone has their own opinion on colors!

I went shopping with my sisters today and one of our stops was the mall. There is a lot of people there who seem different from other people. They may act weird or dress weird and you never know what to think of them until you get to know them. There was a girl working at one of the stores we went into and she seemed like the type of girl who thinks shes better than everyone else because of the way she dressed and acted. When we were looking around, she came up to us and started a conversation and she turned out to be really nice and outgoing. We had the wrong perception of the girl and now we know that she was actually pretty cool!

I've been at home a lot by myself and it gets really boring, so yesterday my mom said she was going to Rochester and I told her I wanted to go with. She said she would wait for me to get done working so that I could go. I even texted her at work reminding her to wait for me. Somehow there was a miscommunication error and when I got home, she had already left. I was upset and because I had to stay home again by myself and when I asked her why she left without me, she said she couldn't remember if I wanted to go or not..

We are talking about good information with our groups about using the internet online. There are a lot of ways to stay safe online and there is a lot of do's and don'ts. Don't put any personal information about yourself online and be careful who you talk to. Don't add people as a Facebook friend if you don't know who they are. It is okay to add your friends and share pictures with them, but be careful because those friends can take your pictures and share them with other people. Always remember to log out of your accounts before getting off your computer or cell phone. Anyone could get into your account and steal your information if your not careful enough. I think only kids older than about 16 should be allowed to have a Facebook , Twitter, etc. Young kids don't know much about internet safety and they are the ones who tend to use personal information online.
