What is your biggest pet peeve?

My biggest pet peeve is when people lie. I hate lie rs and i especially hate when people tell this big extravagant stories and they end up not being true. I don't know why people lie all i know is that it gets under my skin when they do it. What i don't understand about people who lie is that they always get caught in their lie later on and they want you to feel bad for them for whatever reason. I just choose not to be around people that are like that. If i know that someone is a lier when we first meet i don't try to be friends with them, and if someone i already knew turns out to be a lier i just try to keep my distance from them.

Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten. -B.F. Skinner

What i got out of this quote is that when a person is taught something truly meaningful they can never forget it because it is added to the persons education. but if a person tries to learn something on their own they might not be able to fully understand it therefore causing them to forget what they have learned. If a person is taught something properly by a good teacher then their education will be with them forever.

What do I expect this semester from this course, the instructor, and myself.

By taking this class i hope to be a better writer. I want to improve my writing skills along with my grammer skills. I love writing but sometimes i dont have the strongest material which is the reason i dont get very good grades when i write essays, short stories, etc. Whenever i begin writing i always have great ideas in my mind on what i want to write about but im just never able to get it down on paper. I hope that this class will help me with that and i hope that the instructor will teach me what i need to do in order to improve my writing. And from myself i hope to take in all that i am taught and put it to use in my writing so i can finally get the grades i want on my writing.

Who is Yohanna Fishaye?

I was born in Khartum, Sudan on Sept. 8th 1990. My family had to moved there 8 years proir to my brith because of the war in out home country on Eritrea. I have 2 older brother and 2 older sister makimg me the youngest in the family. When i was 2 years old we moved to San Deiago, California as refugees. After a year of living in Cali. my family decided to move to the wonderful state of Minnesota where the summers were sizzling and the winters were deadly. I love bright colors but i also love the color black. Im lactose intolerent but i still love ice cream. I went to Hardign Senior High school which is in East St.Paul and I really enjoyed going there bcause of the diversity the school consisted of. Every where you looked you would see a differet ethnicity then what you. Although my high school didnt have very much money we still got a good education because of the dedicated teachers i had. During my senior year in high school i decided that i wanted to become a Neonatel Nurse which is a nurse who specializes in taking care of newborn babies. I decided on this career because of i have an obsession with babies! So that is why i decided to come to MNSU. The nursing program here is one of the best in the state and hopefully i will succeed here.
