Power of 10
This video makes me realize that humans and non-humans dont have any different at all. In this video after a certain time of zooming in there was nothing but a black space and when it zoom out it happend the same thing. With this video we can come to the conclusion that we are related with nonhuman things in many ways and at the end it doesnt matter who we are because we all are part of the universe. Therefore, this video makes us realize that we in a certain way have a relation with everything around us.
Power of 10 Reflection
When i had first seen the video the power of 10 i thought that it was going to be some type of mathematical video or in more specific the scientific notation in which i have learned in many of my classes like math, chemistry, and even microbiology. This number has been represented as an exact number and complete. Yes the power of ten may be used as a mathematical strategy but in this video it was represented as the relationship that one has with the creation, physically and even spiritually. Why do i say this? Maybe because i observed how a telescope made by man can transmit the emotional message of how deep one can go into the universe. This proves the human intellegence that has been given to us as humans by someone's image. That is the image of god. I feel as if we need to thank him every day of our lives for giving us the gift of our intelligent minds and our bodies and the beautiful creation that surrounds us. Everything that has been created has impressed such as how the human cells were formed, how powerful the universe is and the opppurtunity that has been given to us to be wise. The intellegence like he has given the man that created the telescope. Thankfully god has been able to grant us gifts even though we are human beings we are full of errors but we have been able to admire his presence as the almighty when we learn more of the Power Of 10.

Team 2 Feedback
How can some children be happy without parents? For example, the children in Haiti.
How can a parent be an example if he uses illegal drugs?
How can children have motivation if faith isn't existed in their parents?
The family is a gift from god. Especially when the parents are teaching their children great things of god, even when the children are inside the mother's wound. When parents agree on common godly things, the children have a good communication between parents and children. But, when there isn't any existence of faith in god in the parents, the children tend to not care about their motivation,

Students Motivation and Demotivation Causes
Are you a motivated college student? Being a motivated college student is a difficult task for anyone because almost all of us experience many difficulties in college. As a college student, I believe my motivation is based on the intensity of my aspiration, and the retain focus of my vision. Once I started college I realized that, the real work begun and it is complex to remain on the career path.
Motivation is a strong desire that an individual feels to accomplish his/her goals. Additionally, motivation is described as a psychological behavior and a discipline action to indiduals who are focused on their ambitions.
In my point of view, motivation has two important stages. There is an optimistic motivation and pessimistic motivation. What do I mean about that? Well, the positive motivation starts with a simple visualization of an object in mind then, follows by the action required attaining such idea. Consequently, the negative inspiration comes when such aspiration is unachivable by the individual. According to the article, The importance of establishing relevance in motivating student leraning,(Kember, Davis,2008) it was discovered from a study how students can easily loss their motivation, if they do not see a relevance in the "basic materials" related to their professions.
College students are commonly motivated or demotivated by a variety of reasons. College students who are able to finish their careers have the priviledge to get financial assistance, support from their family members, and help from college faculty to set an effective career goal. I believe, that some of our inspirations depend on the possibility to change our social class, and probably to get paid a higher income to accommodate our loved ones, and ourselves. In addition, I have to mention that this craving to pursuit a degree is nourished by the influence and unconditional support of our family members(our parents, spouses, etc). Family members most of the time help us to pay our college's expenses, granting us our education with their financial support.
Furthermore, this encouraging enthusiasm could lead us to be less motivated as well, if we do not accomplish what we had planned to success. For that reason, this complicates and enable us to graduate by going away from college without a degree.
Dropping out is due to lack of support from family members, college faculty, finacial hardships. They do not have the correct set plan to achieve their career goal. Students become absorded in their personal problems and distress because of loss motivation. We may feel confused, depressed, irritated, frustrated, anxious, ect. Eventually, such involvedness makes students become dependent upon drugs and alcohol. In the article, Negative affect, stress, and smokibg in colege students: Unique associations independent of alcohol and marijuana use, (Magid, Viktoriya; others, 2009) it explains that students begin the consumption of controlled substance (alcohol and marijuana) in college but, the sources of such behavior stays uncertain whether was caused by "general emotional distress and subjective experiences".
Another reason for us to drop out is that, we fail to set lorg-term commitment and as college students, we have to complete many assignments, forgetting that we are not in high school anymore. Most of us do not dedicate the appropriate amount of time necessary to study and such mistakes will be reflected on our grades later on.
To graduate from college is not a simple task for the majority of us as college students nor retaining a high ambition that keeps us pressing on either. Therefore, that key for college students to be successful are to set an effective strategy to continue being focused on the career path and self-motivated. i have to admit that after writing this essay, I do not have any doubt that, motivation is fuel of our desires and ambitions in our life span. It is what makes us to act and react either negative or positive on what we are working on. It does not matter if we want to accomplish our career, or simplely to get up in the morning. We must maintain the enthusiasm regardless if we are students or not.
