On the day of the CATW 

I will wake up at 7am for my Vocabulary Enhancement class at 9:15

I will have breakfast and then go to my next class at 11:45.

Then I will come the CATW room

while taking the test I will make sure that I look for the main ideas very carefully because In the past I have not stated all of them because I have read the passages too quickly and often missed a few. I will take my time and make sure to state the articles name and the authors name because on my last CATW practice I remember I forgot to do that, and that's a simple mistake that will cost a lot of points can be the passing point from a 56 or a 70,  I will give as much details as possible when writing the examples down and remember to only use one personal example. I believe that my weakness is the fact that I get very impatient when it comes to these kind of test because I feel like I need to let my mind wander for a least a few minutes but if I do so then I feel like I will lose the train of thought that I had before I wrote it down and then I would have to think of something again. And I often to let my mind wonder off and then when I come back to like reality I get a little desperate because I see people walking out the room and giving their test in and I want to do the same but I also want to pass the test, I will take my time and stop my mind from wondering because when I do finish the test and I start think I get a little pissed because I say "damn, I forgot to add this to this sentence or I forgot to add that to this" and I feel like I could of done such a better job if I would of just taken my time and really looked over what I wrote then I would of remembered to add this and that. I also never re-read what I write so sometimes I make silly mistakes, like misspelling a word and that could take unnecessary points off, next Thursday when I'm taking the CATW I will make sure to re-read what I wrote and look for any mistakes that I could have possibly made.

Most of the time having its the best, when you have sibling you care for them so much as if they are the only people in the world that mattered. Siblings are thought and talked about because they have a special place in the family. The other family members have different attitudes towards each child because of the order they were born in. In the article"How your birth order influences your life adjustment by Lucielle Forer" It states "the other members of the family assume certain attitudes towards each child in terms of his birth order," I agree with that statement.

Being the middle child is not easy because you have someone who is older than you and someone who is younger than you. You cant screw anything because  then your parents and older sibling will think that you are teaching the little one something bad. When you are the  younger child you can do almost anything and not get in trouble with your parents. They baby you because you are a baby in their eyes, but if you're the middle or older child and you do something bad they will easily scold you very harshly.

Katherine is the older out of all her little brothers, shes always caring for them, and tries to keep them on a good track. On a Saturday they went to visit their family out in Virginia. Katherine's little brothers started acting out, they were play fighting and hitting their cousins, Katherine immediately told them to stop but they ignored her, their family members commented and whispered and sad to Katherine that she has no control over the kids. Katherine got mad and left because just because shes the oldest they expect her to always control her brothers.

Having sibling can be very fun but at the same time it can also be a challenge that is very hard, younger siblings always want your help and can be very bratty, while the older ones can be mean sometimes and act like they know it all.
