In the book Nickel and Dimed on (Not) getting by in America, the author lived a life of a low wage worker. This experiment, while deemed insightful by some people, was considered dull and unrealistic to one of my classmates. In response to the question, “What parts of the book made Ehrenreich’s experience unrealistic?” my peer said, “She didn’t experience what low wage workers really went through. In Into the Wild, McCandless really went into the wild and experienced everything, but Ehrenreich didn’t live a poor life. If she had done that it would have made for a much more interesting book.” I agree with my classmate on this comment because while I did learn about some struggles that low wage workers have to go through, I didn’t learn what…
I have completed roughly 600 hours of community service. In addition to the organizations listed on my application, I have volunteered with the Salvation Army, Get Real Behind the Wheel, Delta Blood Bank, and at local junior golf and basketball camps. Get Real Behind the Wheel is a local organization that gives student drivers a safe environment to practice and they preach safe driving, educating students and parents of the dangers of driving.…
My RCS Capstone Experience challenged me by forcing me to speak infront of a large group of people, who have had more years of experience than I have. Also a physical challenge for I had to develope my upper body strength for the training I had to endure. Both of these things pushed me out of my confort zone, but in the long run I know they will be valuable skills for the future. I have been a volunteer at Jacobs Creek Fire Department for three years, but even with these years there is still always room for improvement. This topic is important to me because the people in my station are like family to me. I know even on my worst of days that they will always have your back. In addition being in the fire department brought me and my dad closer,…
Hall Abelson, Ken Ledeen, and Harry Lewis: Blown to Bits, Your life, Liberty, and Happiness after the Digital Explosion, 2008, creates awareness of the technological advances the good and bad then points out the political side of these technologies, but also offers ways to protect yourself. The chapter begins with a few moralistic insights towards technology stating that technology is not a gain that is good or bad – Any technology can be used for good or ill, it can empower us or keep us on a short leash. Second I think is what these authors were getting at with the subtitle “Your Life, Liberty, and Happiness after the Digital Explosion”, with all this technology, brings social change that lead us to both risk and opportunities. It’s really up to us and these public organizations as to whether these advances will be used for good or ill and your either going to gain from technology or fall victim unfortunately (p.14). This book is mainly explaining how the digital explosion is reshaping the way we do things. It’s crazy how unaware a lot of people are including myself, technology is forming by the masses and regardless if we want it or not we need to be prepared and actually know what it’s doing to society we live in. The book states – the digital explosion is changing the world as much as printing once did- and some of the changes are catching us unaware, blowing to bits our assumptions about the way the world work. It goes one to state that now instead of mailing pictures all you need to do is place them on a picture site and anyone now can view them or how we give information away just we are offered something in return – And those are merely that are happening today. The explosion, and the social disruption it will create, have barely begun. (p. 3). The authors then discuss another big topic I thought was mind blowing but so true, privacy lost and abandonment. Privacy, now day’s…

I spoke with Cuffee about your class and I thank you for your concern about him. I will be checking on him periodically, and monitoring his progress by checking in with you. However, at this moment in time, we cannot adjust his schedule because that would be removing him from his least restrictive environment because History Co-Lab is not listed as one of his special education services. I suggest that we give him a trial run, maybe until the first unit test or maybe the first interim which is October 4th, and we can see how he is doing, and should we need to schedule a meeting to make this change necessary then we can do that. I will also check in with his parents and let them know your concerns, and maybe they can step in as reinforcement.…
My spirit began to demonstrate to me that as a child of the most high we were all given the gift to transform and change who we are by understanding the purpose that God has appoint on our life. God, has given us our birth certificate signed, sealed and delivered in which the bible gives us bearing and whom we originated from. It demonstrates to us best practices to live and sustain the transformation of being able to flourish by reading and understanding the bible and applying the word to our life.…

I can honestly say that ASI 110 has greatly affected not only my outlook on the subjects but also my writing style and consistency. The layout of the class was what made me so happy. I absolutely loved that I had the class two days a week but it was separated into two sessions throughout the say. My seminar class helped my understanding of the texts and subjects and I am forever grateful for that.…
Over the course of Quarter, I composed more than a few FRQs. Throughout my many in-class essays, I learned not only about rhetorical analysis, but also some tendencies I have as a writer. In all four of my essays, the most prominent trend I exemplified was a lack of focus on certain pieces of my analysis. Often, I would provide a strong analysis of certain evidence, but then would begin to stray from my original point. Occasionally, my sentences proved nothing, such as when I wrote that, “This major depiction of the two vastly different sides of the soldier’s lives makes the men seem more real and human”. Another pattern that was prevalent in my FRQs was writing one or two sentences that seemed clumsy or awkward to the reader. One such sentence…
