Chapter 6- Listening and Note Taking
Finding ourselves in a situation like this, many things can affect us and those around us.
Present no interest to the class can change our attitude. However, this could lead us to change our
way of thinking and seeing things. We begin to show no interest in what we do, if we understand
or not the class, if we do or do not do our homework. One way or another, our attitude becomes
action. Also, this can lead to a drastic change in our grades. As I have said before, the
presentation of our work and our grades define who we are as a person. For example, if we give
an incomplete homework and dirty that defines us as, "irresponsible and neglected." On the
contrary, if we deliver homework well done, clean and presentable it will leave positive
comments to our professors. In addition, communication with our classmates and professors can
also be affected. By enabling all these changes our way of acting and thinking is not similar to
those around us. We think we are unable to achieve those goals that we set. In other words,
everything we see it as impossible when in fact it is not. We allow our minds to close up to a
point where it is not able to understand or decipher what is happening. We can feel alone or as
failures.I understand that when someone makes a commitment must fulfill it, no matter with who
has been established. Promisingyourself something will help you to see that goal or promise
important. When we do not follow the steps to fulfill that promise the importance that it had or
should have could fade. Paying attention to the class no matter how boring it could be will help
you understand the commitment that you did with yourself, so you can meet your own words. In
other words, if you keep your promises or commitments you can someday be a professional =).
Finally, see the class in a different perspective will help Maya to understand her commitment and
the importance of studies in our lives. The class is boring if you make it boring. In my opinion,

2. engaging in class and seek help from our classmates and professors will help a lot. Like this you
will learn different ways to study, learn how to take notes, etc. and help you move forward with
your future. We cannot risk ourselves not to make decisions in our lives or accept different
methods; we cannot just stay in one thing because we need to experience and accept everything
that will help us improve.
Come on Maya
You can do it!
