Where Does The Time Go?

Time management is one of the most important things you need to do while having a job or trying to make it through high school. It helps yo ukeep everything in check. I have absolutely no time in my week because I have other very important things that need to be done. I get atleast 8 hours of sleep a day. I don't spend a lot of time grooming myself because I am a male and there is not much to groom. I may be a small person but i do eat a lot. I do not do much traveling on the weekdays. I basically just go to school and come straight back home. On the weekends I travel for a good amount of time. everyday After school I practice drill team from 3-5. I do not have many chores in my household. I also do not study at all. Most of my time goes towards the television and my phone. I really need to manage my time better because I have no time at all.

Ergonomics at work.

Ergonomics is the was someone waorks at thier work computer. Everyone should care about ergonomics because it can be dangerous at times. The best position for your chair is comfortabley reclined and at a slight slouch. The best position for your keyboard  is angled up and under the monitor. Your monitor should be as far away from your face as possible, but where you can still read it. Lighting is very important because it can affect your eyes and hurt your back and head. We need to include movement and activity in ergonomics because it decreases stress and pain. It also helps you stay as loose as possible.

When I was born on July 11, 1997, I was named Andrew Christopher Sanchez. At that time my family included my sister, Alandy and my mother, Alba. Since then, my family has grown my adding my dog Oreo. We presently reside in a house in Conyers GA.
An early childhood memory includes when my family and I went to Disney World on a vacation. My sister and I tried to ride every single ride in the Magic Kingdom and the Animal Kingdom. As a child i was happiest when I was 10. Now that I am fourteen, I worry about how a tiny little freshman like me will make it in this big high school. However I always get excited when i have great classes with some of my best friends.
My hobbies include baseball and basketball. My favorite hobby is baseball because i love the game, it is the family sport, and it is great excersize. One word I would use to describe my personality is enthusiastic. I chose this word in particular because i am always happy and excited. i usually make the best out of every situation without a problem.
I am in this class because I enjoy using computers and I find them very interesting. I hope to learn the different types of ways to use a computer and find shortcuts. When I complete this course, I will use my computer skills to hopefully find a successful job dealing with computers. One thing that I think you should know about me is that i am Dominican and I speak fluent spanish.
