Journal - 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?
Siting work is great for projects, and papers, because it gives you the ability to have reliable information that somebody else approved. It does take a little bit more work, and take up more time, but is very helpful if needed. Citing work helps you understand more information, because when you cite you have to read about your subject.

What is your favorite book, magazine, or publication? Why?
I do not read very many magazines or other forms of writing, so I only have a favorite book.My favorite books are the Harry Potter Series. I do not like to read, however, when I read this series I enjoyed it. I like the author, and how she writes, It makes you feel like your in the scene, and in the book with the characters.

Journal - 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?
I do not enjoy writing. Whenever I try to make up a story, I can never think of what it should be about, and always end up not happy with my work. Whenever I write school papers and essays, I always know what it should be about, but do not enjoy writing about it. Writing is very important in life, especially on computers, where most work is done. In business, you are required to send emails, and documents over work, and communicating with coworkers.

Journal - 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?
It is important to always write an outline when creating a paper. It helps put all facts where they are easy to see. I always write an outline before my rough draft. That way I can copy and paste later. You will be able to add on to your outline while you are writing your paper as well, that way you have facts in the essay, and in the outline.

Journal - Who do you look up to in life? Why? What have they done to help you or guide you?
I look up to my cousin Zac. He is an accomplished musician and inspires me to get better every day. He got his first major show when he was 17, and had thousands of people watching him. He and his friends band is inspiring because they were only 17 when they got together and became full time musicians.

Journal - 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 to talk like you talk in real life, but professionally. Like you are writing a paper. All sentences should be complete with no abbreviations or texting signs. When writing an email, you should start off with a greeting and introduction, and then follow with the purpose of the email. Then, depending on what the email was about, conclude it and finish it off with a goodbye.

Journal - 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?
If I could fix one issue in the world, it would be
cancer. Cancer has been a problem for the whole world for a very long time. It
is the most common and dangerous disease, which is still very hard to cure. I
have been around the disease and have seen what it can do. It takes many lives
every day, so if the disease didn't exist, there would be no more deaths. No
more families would be shaken by the horrible effects of cancer.

Journal - 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?
Public Service Announcements are created to raise awareness about a certain subject or problem. For example, there are plenty of sad PSA's about dogs that are abused or neglected. If I had to make a PSA, I would make mine about child abuse. Child abuse is a big problem, and it comes in many forms.
