 * Step 1**: Go to the Library and choose a novel, biography, autobiography, historical non-fiction that is culturally relevant to a part of your identity. For example, do you identify yourself as male, female, African American, Hispanic, musician, skateboarder, young adult, senior citizen, gamer, soap opera watcher, etc... (You will start to notice that we all have multiple identities and that each social context of where we are, what are we doing, and for what purposes help us choose which identity we use in that particular situation.)

The reason I choose this book is because one of my former teachers told me that it can help a little with getting through college.
 * Question #1**- Why did you choose this book?


 * Step 2:** Calculate and write a reading Schedule here. You should calculate a reading schedule that enables you to finish mid-November in order for you to work on your digital presentation.Insert a table that list what pages or chapters you intend to read each week. For example:
 * **Week #** || **Schedule of Pages or Chapter to Read Each Week** ||
 * Week 1 (Sept. 2nd-6th) || //Chapters 1-3// ||
 * Week 2 || Chapters 4-6 ||
 * Week 3 || Chapters 7-9 ||
 * Week 4 || Chapters 10-12 ||
 * Week 5 || Chapters 11-13 ||
 * Week 6 || Chapters 14-16 ||
 * Week 7 || Chapters 17-19 ||
 * Week 8 || Chapters 20-22 ||
 * Week 9 || Chapters 23-25 ||


 * Step 3:**


 * **Quotes, lines, or sentences, with Page number** || **Your thoughts, ideas, questions about the quote you chose** ||
 * "Even if you have believe the grading was terribly unfair, be as positive as you can and communicate that you want to understand why you earned a low C so you can improve for the next test:..." pg. 34 || I believe this a quote that all college students should hear because we all get frustrated when we get the grade we don't want. In order to improve, we shouldn't get angry and try to fight but instead talk it out to come to a calm and plausible conclusion. ||
 * "No matter who your advisor is, it is your responsibility to be sure you get the guidance you need. We're not saying that you need to familiarize yourself with the entire course catalogue, but you should ask lots of questions and seek answers from more then one source..." pg. 42 || In this quote, it's saying that we need to seek help for ourselves. There isn't going to be anyone who is going to guide you. You need to find the help yourself. ||
 * "Remember that an easy course is not always a blessing-especially if you need to really learn the information for you future career." pg.43 || By taking the easy way out, you're causing more harm then good. If your not prepared for your career, then you wasted a lot of time in college. ||

In the book //College Rules//, I have learned more on how to be prepared for college. The purpose of this book is to give a heads up on what to expect in college. The book is mostly in a definition and example format. Most of the examples used are actual situations that other college students have been through. Some of the situations that were presented in the book helped me out. A clear example is presented above. The book describes how making a reading schedule would make the processing smoother versus not having one. Those who didn't have a reading schedule were more likely to forget and start reading at the very last minute. Through reading this book, I have learned and experienced a better way to deal with college.
