How can we find happiness in Education?, a very complex and interesting question to ask.  I want to expand my talents in Education to increase my happiness.  I am an artist however it is not the only talent I have, I have a few others as well like building things,repairing items of all sorts computers, game consoles, and more.  I’ve come to realize that i want to be an engineer as a back up idea incase the art world doesn’t work out for me.One of the main problems I am having is my academics I want to find a way to increase happiness and performance in them such as Reading, writing, and math.  Another thingi want to do with my talent is expand my ideas and creativity to see what other things i can do besides art.  One of the most important ways to improve happiness in education is to improve the mind and body.  It is important to take opportunities in school when they are offered to you, it be can another  way to improve your happiness in education. In my paper I will argue how I can improve my happiness in education; including steps on how I am going to achieve them.
                      
      I have trouble with academics such as reading writing and math.  In school i notice that I am having trouble with these main subjects.  To begin I have a hard timereading, I don’t read enough; to which  is why I am slow at understanding parts from specific reading material like poems or short stories.  For me i need to find inspirationand something to motivate me to read more; including  things that i am not interested in to read but required to do for a class.  I think that we all need an extra push  when it comes down to reading material that I don’t like.  I know that for the future reading will be important because it will be needed when I have a job, sign important documents,or even when I become my own boss.  When it comes down to writing it is yet another problem I have.  I struggle constantly with it when i have to write a paper, make a report,or even an essay exam.  The way they teach students how to write in schools I think needsto be improved.  Ill admit I do like to write, however at the same time I don’t.  In order to fix this problem I think that I need to do more free writing.  I personally think that all classes that is required to make any type of papers or reports should encourage students to do free writing.  I know that for me it would help me find happiness in writing more, that it would benefit me now and for the future.  Now as far as Math I dislike it the most.  A number of very complex problems to solve and some of the math that I was required to learn has no use in life.  Of all of the subjects in my life,  I cant see how I can find happiness in math.  This subject has Always been a problem for me. In high school it was not taught to me properly to which is why I have a hard time with it.  Even in collage how can you learn math if there are some many different ways to solve an equation.  This is one subject i will have to improve on the most.  I’ve yet to find a way to be happy in doing math.  I know that for the future I will need to find a way to improve on it because it will be important when it comes to building something or any career i will be in in the future as my full time job.  One way or another there are a number of steps I must take in order to improve my happiness in these particular subjects.

    It is important to try out new things when it comes to  getting your educationin collage.  When taking classes that are either required or ones you enjoy I think thatit is wise to try taking one extra class that you may be interested in.  I know that if i was to take a class that is not related to my major I might find out that I have other talents besides art that I can do.  For an example I would like to take a how to speak Spanish class for the future.  I know that it will come in handy someday because Spanish is one of the most popular languages besides English spoken in this country. Another kind of class I would like to take is how to wield metal together.  I know that If I take this kind of class also it will benefit me both in the art world and if I do any kinds of jobs in the construction or design fields.I know that trying out these types of classes I will find even more happiness and even more when I go for other degrees in the future while in collage.








      It is important to put a lot of organization when it comes to the mind and body while in collage.   When I take an exam, do a homework assignment, and even a large scale project;  ive noticed that I have a hard time focusing when it comes to doing any kind of school work.  I usually end up doing school work assignments last minute or sometimes not at all. I tend to procrastinate a lot.  I believe that if I began to focusmore on getting school work done in advance that it would be less stressful on the mind.
      Keeping the physical  body in shape I think can be very important while getting and education in collage. While in school I don’t always like to sit around and be in class,I think that it is important for myself to keep active and be able to move around as Much as possible. I say this because sometimes I have a tendency to fall asleep in class.In order for be to be happy In class I make an effort to use the school gym after I am donewith classes.  It is also important to get enough sleep that way you can get up the next day on time for classes.  This I have  also yet again to have proven for myself.  
    It is important to control my actions and how I use my time in school.Whenever I get an opportunity in school to improve on something I always end up bailing out of it. The reason I do that is because I am stubborn,  sometimes when i do go for tutoring for a class it works and then sometimes it doesn’t.  to specify When it comes to a test, paper, or just standard homework assignments.  I am making school difficult for myself to handle. One of other reasons I turn down opportunities this because I am un able to tell if it is worth my time.  After a number of failures that occurred in previous classes, I know here and now is what is most important as far as taking the chance.  I know if I take opportunities more seriously that it will lead to better results of how I do in my classes and at the same time it will benefit me for the future. As an example being able prevent myself from repeating a class cause I didn’t get tutoring, or talking with the professor to get help for a assignment.To not say yes to a opportunity when available in school is like causing a delay in school progress and making yourself more unhappy.
      Can I really find happiness in education?, only time and making these changes can tell.  Improving on ways to become better in academics reading writing and math. My talents in taking classes that are not related to my major, a Spanish class or a wielding class.  I must find more ways to take more care of the mind  and body.  Last one of the most important things is when an opportunity is open; learning how to take the chance for a better future.  I enjoy being at school and I know if I don’t receive my degree’s that I will have a harder life working a bad job and not seeing my happiness not jus in education but  out their in the real world.
