A Little Bit About Me:

Good evening and thank you for allowing me to participate in your class this semester. I would love to share with you a few paragraphs worth of information about my life. To start, for my breakfast I had strawberry pop-tarts, keish, eggs, pancakes, biscuits, and a gigantic glass of milk. It was truly delicious. Secondly,  if you were to ask me right now how I felt about Alabama football, I would have to say I really do not have much of an opinion, however, with my girlfriend, Jessica Diane being a surprisingly intense fan I’m sure I have more to say soon.
 My name is Keith Anthony Tardibuono and I was born on March 8, 1990 in Hollywood Florida to my momma, Heather Joy, and my pop, Thomas (T-Bone). My pop retired from the Coast Guard a Commander after 24 years of service and my momma is the sweetest lady I have ever met. A few years after I was born I was given a little sister named Kate Noel, and a little brother named Jack Francis. My whole family is very athletic, participating in any sport we could fit in to our schedule. I currently do not really know what level of schooling I am at right now because I have transferred through three different schools prior to this one and South really does not bond with other schools on credits well. I am pursing a degree in special-ed/elementary in hopes of being a teacher and coach. I have played soccer my whole life including three years at the college level. So far I have really enjoyed my college career and am looking forward to the rest of it. Hope you were able to learn a little bit about me from this writing. Thank you.

Randy Pausch Video:
I would argue that when I put my mind to it, I can manage time rather well. However, there are always distractions in life and those distractions can really get me off task when I am not focused or dedicated to specific plan. From this video I learned a few simple ways to manage my time better and avoid getting distracted by friends, sports, and friends. A to-do list is a great recommendation the speaker mentions during the video for a real push to get stuff done. Also, I learned that it is better to focus on doing the right thing, rather than doing things right. “It doesn’t matter how well you polish the underside of the banister,” I do not really agree with this whole-heartedly, however, I can understand how he is trying to make a point. For the most part, I would argue that this speaker did well with getting the point across with simple and easy methods.
