winter litter pick

This week we had a winter litter pick and it went great. at first it was disheartening to see the amount of rubbish that had been thrown along the side of roads in kilmessan but with the help of about 20 people we cleared all the roads. Everyone set off at different places and we all met up at the end. The litter pick lasted 3 hours but all in all great work was done and friendships were made in the process too.

Introduction Post

My name is Aaron Comiskey and I am 20 years old. I currently study CDM in Blanchardstown and I love the course. I live in Kilmessan, Meath with my family but I hope to move out soon when I get enough money together. I want to be a video editor when I am finished college and maybe work for companies such as BBC or RTE(you have to aim big or you will fail). During this term I want to get better at all things to do with video but I also want to give the other stuff like web design and game development a chance as I may end up loving them and actually want to go into that area after college. I have many hobbies. I am big into the gym and love lifting weights , it makes you feel better and look better so why not do it. I love football and I am a huge Manchester United fan even though we are rubbish now. I play tennis the odd time when I am not too busy also. I post fitness content online not to show off my body or muscles (even though I am proud of the results) More so that I can keep u...

growth and mindset

for this post I will attempt the extra credit growth and mindset task. I read "this article " . this article was very interesting altogether. i completely agree that being graded in school can be very emotional on certain people and can hurt a persons confidence. I agree that not everyone who gets top marks can be unhappy with them as they do not understand why it was so easy and there is usually a huge divide between the top and bottom people in the class from their grades. grades can be a good way to control students like it says in this article but overall they just cause arguments between students and make people who just cant get the top marks ever even if they studied for days feel really bad about themselves. I like the teacher who set up meetings with them this should benefit the students and make them feel more comfortable in the class. overall this extra credit article was very interesting to read and has changed my view on all things to do with gradings in schoo...

Feedback stratagies

I really enjoyed researching more into feedback and researching into this has opened my eyes up further to how feedback can vary. The first article I read was called what kind of messages help kids grow. the first thing that really struck was the comment about fixed traits and how intelligence is wived as a fixed trait. I can really agree with this as all my school life I just accepted the fact that I was average and not very smart but if I only could have changed my mindset and worked harder I may have became the intelligent one. I do not like good praise like good they are just empty comments if you really want to praise someone then you should give them feedback on exactly what it is they did good not just say good. My little 6 year old brother always says I cant do stuff but I never let him give up as if he gives up on small things like school homework , what will he do when he is faced with an actual challenge in his life. Overall this article has reminded me that praise ca...
