Tonight, I plan to go to the Blue Valley football game and go to a friend's house after. On Saturday I work a double shift at California Pizza Kitchen, and when I get off I am going to go to my friend's birthday party. On Sunday I am going to get a new shirt, khakis, and Sperrys for homecoming. I think that this weekend will be a good one.

 Most students view siting work as 'a pain in the butt'. How do you feel about it? Is it necessary? When is it appropriate to cite work? What's the importance of it?

I know it is necessary because it is how you sail away from plagiarism. I do not like doing it because I have to go through a lot of work.  I have to dig through each website to find the information required to cite a source. It is appropriate to cite your work every time you use information that is not yours. It is important because if you do not cite your sources than that is plagiarism.

 What is your favorite book, magazine, or publication? Why?

My favorite book is Dragon Rider. I like this book because it is fantasy fiction which is my favorite genre. This book is also very long which I like because I can slowly read through the entire story. The plot line is very well developed and is full of action.

 Do you enjoy writing? What kind of writing do you enjoy? Why is writing an essential skill in life? How will you use this skill in the future?

No I do not like to write. There is no type of writing that I enjoy. Writing is an essential skill in life because it is one of the mains way how people communicate. If you can write well than you can communicate well. This is a useful skill in the future because you will be writing and sending many emails to future clientele and will need to know how to write properly.

What is creating an outline for a paper important? Do you think it helps you personally? How would you prefer to outline a paper - pen and paper or an online tool? Is there a different way you know if that would prefer to organize your thoughts?

Creating an outline gives you an idea of what your paper will consist of. It defiantly helps me because I know what order my thoughts will go in my paper. I'd prefer an online tool, because it allows me to do research and outline at the same time. There is no other way I'd like to organize my thoughts for a paper. It is simply the best.

 Who do you look up to in life? Why? What have they done to help you or guide you?
I look up to my Dad. My Dad has forced my to try hard in school and do all my homework. He came to the country when he was 17 and could barely speak English. He transformed his life into a successful business man. He know owns his company and is a multimillionaire. My dreams is to be one day be like him.

What is good email etiquette and why is it essential in the "real" world? How can having good email etiquette put you ahead?
Good email etiquette is having proper grammar, using proper names depending on the person, and not just making the email short. You want to make the email somewhat detailed to show the person that you actual care and that you are putting time into it. It it is essential because in the "real" world you will be sending many emails to clients and employees and if you can not type a good email many people will not take you serious. This will put you ahead because if you know the correct etiquette than people will start taking you serious and think of you in a professional manner.

If there was one big global issue in the world that you could fix, what would it be? A cure for cancer? Save the rain forest? Stop pollution? Think about it and then write about it. Why would you choose that specific issue?
I would choose a cure for cancer. Cancer has been an on going struggle for many years and has brought a lot of sadness to many families. I think if there was a cure for cancer it would change the world dramatically. Many families would be blessed with the cure and could be able to have their love ones longer in their life than without the cure. It would also greatly boost the medicine area. Based on this cure if could create many other cures for diseases that seemed unrealistic. 

PSA

9/3/13

On Friday we discussed Public Service Announcements. In your own words tell me what they are and what their purpose is. If you could create a PSA what would your topic be? Why?
Pretty much a Public Service Announcement is a message that is publicly announced to spread awareness of a certain topic. I would create a PSA over child obesity. I know America has a huge problem with child obesity and I honestly do not think much is being done to stop it or at least help slow it down. There are way too many fast food restaurants around American and unhealthy food is being sold at very low prices. The government should make healthy food be affordable so more people will start buying it.
