Computer Software in School   Reflection: Some schools are offering educational programs that will teach kids about computer software. Some of these programs offered at schools consist of authoring systems, desktop publishing, graphic software, reference software, drill and practice software, tutorial software, educational games, simulations, special needs software, math problem solving software, utility software and much more. Teaching computer software is very important to know and can have lots of benefits. An example can be like students can become more engaged to the lessons and keeps students interested with videos, pictures, graphics and sounds. This leads to students being more productive and always wanting to learn more. Some schools teach these programs exclusively on Mac or on PC.

This is because you put yourself in a negative mindset and thus leading you to not giving your full potential.

The results were that the ones who were help ended up being weaker and those who did it on their own, were stronger and lived more long. This shows us that we don't always need other peoples help through rough times. We need to learn how to be patient and have inner strength to overcome challenges on our own. This will make us a stronger person overall because we will get trained to be independent and know how to overcome obsticles.
