     This class is unlike almost any I have taken while in college. The grading is set up very differently because assignments can be optional and made up with extra credit assignments. The class is also set up, so we can learn and write without having to stress about our grades. This is a big relief to me because the other classes I am in are very focused on our grades and completing every assignment. The extra credit assignments cover a multitude of topics, and I am particularly interested in the Growth Mindset and Wikipedia Trails options. I can use the knowledge and skills from these two topics and apply them to other classes. I am excited to learn and write more without having to stress as much.

While I try to spend as much time as I can on hobbies and hanging out with my friends, studying at OU is very important to me. Fl

After months of raising their young, the Cranes’ offspring finally flew away from home to live their own lives, but left their parents hungry and tired. They were flying around for days unable to find food until the Cranes happened upon a pond. It was the height of summer, and the pond and the animals in it were heating up. Seeing this, the Cranes came up with a plan. They would gain the animals’ trust to allow the Cranes to bring them to a bigger lake and a better life. However, the Cranes were not going to bring them to the lake. They would stop short only to kill and eat them. Despite the pond being full of the life, the Cranes knew they would likely become hungry quickly if they ate all the animals too fast. To keep themselves fed longer, the Cranes planned to make the nearby lake sound like a couple hour trip. After devising the plan, the Cranes descended on the lake to speak with the animals and gain their trust
