Who do you look up to in life? Why? What have they done to help you or guide you?

 I look up to my mom because she is always optimistic and fun! She takes care of me along with my brothers and dad every single day! She's shown me to always be happy.

Tell me about the global issue you selected yesterday. Briefly restate your paragraph from yesterday.

 I chose Obesity as my topic because it is an issue that is increasing rapidly, especially in the United States. I want to learn how to help other prevent obesity.

If you could pick one issue in the world to fix or change what would it be and why?

If I could pick one issue in the world to fix it would be mean people. If we all got along there wouldn't be wars, just friendships.

What is a Public Service Announcement? If you don't know what it is, Google it. In your own words, now tell me what it is? What are they used for? Can you recall an example of a PSA you've seen before?

A Public Service Announcement is a message broadcasted to raise awareness of a cause. Around election time there are lots of Public Service Announcements shown on T.V. to persuade the viewer to vote for a certain candidate.

Tell me about your three day weekend. How was it? What did you do? Elaborate!

This three day weekend was full of friends and work! I spent the majority of my time with my friend and our T.A. Morgan. I asked my date to Sweetheart this weekend by presenting him with a hot pink bow tie to perfectly match my dress. To say he was thrilled is an understatement. I worked everyday this weekend at Grace Gardens Nursing Home where I have been working for 3 years. Morgan and I went to the KU vs. OSU basketball game on Saturday. Allen Fieldhouse was packed! On Sunday and Monday nights I watched the Keeping Up with The Kardashians season premiere as well as the Rich Kids of Beverly Hills premiere on E! Needless to say, I'm in love with both of those shows.

What have you learned about Google Drive and Google Presentation so far? What do you like about it? What problems have you run in to? Is it better than PowerPoint?

I didn't know what Google Drive and Google Presentation were before this class. I like how Google Presentation saves itself and is online versus an app for your computer. I'm not familiar with the tools on Google Presentation, but hopefully will be by the end of the semester. Yes, it is better than PowerPoint.

Tell me if you agree with this statement and then explain why or why not. "Images on the internet are 'free game' - if someone posted I should be able to use it. Images are not free game on the internet since you need to credit the person who took the image. Even though people put these images out on the internet and you feel like you can use them, you need to cite the image.

What do you want to learn in the class the semester? What information do you want to walk away with that you didn't know before? Elaborate!

This semester I want to learn how to create a blog that is infused with my personality and isn't just Times New Roman font. I want to walk away with the knowledge to create a fashion blog outside of this class. I want to improve my computer skills because I plan to go into International Business and will use a computer to do the majority of my work.
