12x12x12 and TypingWeb


Hello All:

Today you will be reading the following passage:





12 x 12 x 12 IMPRESSIONS 


12 by 12 by 12 is the distance you are being judged by the people you meet every day of every week of every year of your life.



Your first impression starts 12 feet away. This is the distance people see what you are wearing and how you are acting. This is the first chance you have to make sure that people see you in a positive, accepting light.



At 12 inches away you are now about to speak. People will notice the minute details of the way your face looks as you smile, frown, or grimace. People are judging your looks, your demeanor, and the way you carry yourself. The
way you shake a hand, smell to others, and present yourself are now
under the microscope and you should be aware that what you are about to
say will forever place a note in people’s head about your level of
maturity.




Finally, the first 12 words you speak are a reflection of your heritage, upbringing, and education level. Whether you like it or not, the person you are interacting with is taking a mental picture of you for future reference. What kind of picture have you given them? How can you make a difference in how you appear? The mark we leave on the world is a made up of the thousands of appearances in other people’s memories. How you are perceived by others is the only yardstick we are all measured equally by. Make your impression a positive lasting one with others, and you will make your world a better place live in.






Once you have read the passage above (12x12x12) please open your Weebly.com Journal and write, in your own words, how you will change the way you act because of what you read.  Please write 3-4 sentences about how this will impact you and the impression you leave with others.





Once you have completed your journal entry, you will work quietly on learning to type:

Start with each lesson in order.  Make sure your are resting your fingers on the HOME KEYS while you type and trying your best to use all of your fingers to reach the appropriate keys.  The training program will identify the proper fingers to use to reach each key while you type.  Work through as many of the lessons as possible!  





Good Luck!
