Article: To come to a solution, you both will probably need to compromise. That is, you parents might need to give a little, and you might need to give a little. If you both give in a little bit, you might find a solution you're both happy with. When you're trying to compromise, you have to figure out what both of you want or need. For instance, your parents are probably most concerned with your safety and well-being. You're probably most concerned with getting what you want, such as a little more independence. Say you want to spend the night at your friend's house. Your parents may not want you to because they don't know the parents and so, they don't know if you'll be safe. You can come to a compromise where you start out by everyone going out together, so your parents can meet her parents. Then, when you do go over, you can agree to check in with your parents every so often so they know you're okay. That way, you both can feel a little better about what you want. However, your parents might be unwilling to compromise if they think you won't be safe, so think about that when trying to make a compromise. You may not get what you want. Your parents may not be persuaded by your arguments. If that's the case, it's best to accept what they have to say for now. In the future, you may be able to try again. If you whine and complain now, it will make your parents think you're less trustworthy, not more. One way to help your parents understand how you're feeling on the topic is to discuss your feelings and thoughts openly with them. That doesn't mean that you nag them constantly about changing their minds. Rather, you need to have an open dialogue about why you feel the way you do. For instance, if you're trying to get your parents to let you go out more, don't say, "You're awful. You need to change this decision." Instead, say things such as, "I know you want to protect me, but I feel really left out when my friends go out without me. I don't want to go to parties or get drunk. My friends like to go out to coffee or to the movies, and I feel like these activities should be acceptable."

Problem: Article: It's always nice to be able to put a face to a name, and in an online course, the feeling of community has to form in a different way than in a traditional class. You can usually add a photo to your profile so it shows every time you post, or you could add an additional picture to your introduction post. If you're uncomfortable with adding a photo for privacy reasons, that is okay! If it was requested by your instructor, just send them an email about your reservations to let them know why you aren't adhering to their guidelines. Because you're posting online, it can be tempting to slip into an informal way of "speaking" by using slang or loose grammar, so pay extra attention to your introduction post. Use full, complete sentences, proper grammar, and make sure to proofread before you hit "submit." Try reading what you wrote out loud to hear how it soundsthis may help you reword or restructure your introduction for the best flow. Include information about why you're in the class and about what you do during the rest of your time (either for work or for fun). For example, you could write "Hi, my name is Sharon Izzo, and I work during the day at a nursing home. When I'm not working or in class, I like to spend time with my spouse and our 3 rescue dogs." You can also share what city you live in if you're comfortable with thatmany students who are in online classes form study groups that either meet in person or online. Remember that less is moreyour classmates will be less likely to read 5 paragraphs than they would 1 succinct paragraph. This is the best way to start building rapport with everyone. Reach out to others who live in the same area or who share the same interests as you. Chances are if you're in the same program, you might have multiple courses with them over the next 1 or 2 years. Having an active presence in your online class will make your overall experience more gratifying, and it'll also help you engage more with the material.
Summary: Add a photo if you haven't done so already. Keep your tone friendly and professional. Share personal and professional information. Respond to your classmates' posts.

Adopt a proper running posture, keeping your back straight and swaying your arms held in a 90-degree angle at the elbow. Run on the balls of your feet, using them to spring off with every step. Try pushing your legs further back to give yourself a longer stride. You will get a better grip of the ground and allow yourself to bounce off the ground, and it gives you an extra boost in every step. If you ever watch Olympic sprinters, you'll notice that they almost always have very long strides. Your upper body is important too. Put a bend in your arms and pump them up and down sharply with each step. Leave your palms open, with fingers together as if you were stabbing the air. This should help you force yourself forward more easily. While you run, you want to be taking in enough oxygen that you can maintain a light conversation. If you can't, you're likely to run out of steam and you'll have to slow down. Deep, steady breathing will help you run more quickly in the long term. Some people breathe in through their noses for three seconds and exhale for two. See what you're comfortable with one person's breathing style may not be best for everyone. Use a stopwatch to time yourself every running session. Each time, try to go just a little bit faster on the same route. The added incentive will help you push yourself to the max. Just before you reach your goal, even if it seems impossible, try to force as much power out of your body as you can and put out a burst of speed. You may be surprised by how fast you can actually go when you know you're about to reach your goal. This can improve your time drastically. Even something as simple as changing the way you look ahead can make you a better runner. Try to focus your eyes on where you want to go, rather than on the area right in front of your feet. Keep focusing on new spots further down the path as you move you won't ever feel like you're almost done, so you won't give up as easily. For example, if you're running on a straight track and you're coming to the end, try focusing on a spot far ahead of the finish line and push yourself to run there. This can help keep your motivation high until it's actually time to quit. If you're not meeting your biological needs, you'll have a harder time running as fast as you can. Taking a small drink of water before your run ensures your muscles have the water they need when it counts. It's also a good idea to carry a little water with you so you can take drinks as needed during your run. There is such a thing as too much water, however. Don't drink a ton of water right before running. Drink small amounts as you go, but try not to take big gulps. This will give you cramps.
