N1~ Current News Issue

http://www.cnn.com/2013/03/09/opinion/obeidallah-redneck-shows/index.html?hpt=op_mid

I totally agree with this writer. I don’t understand the fascination with all the new redneck reality shows lately. I personally find them pointless just like the writer said. I think it’s ridiculous how people can act so dumb on television and get their own show for it and become so famous for it. I personally don’t see the big change between Jersey Shore and Buckwild. They have many similarities. They are dumb, pointless and stupid and set really bad examples for some of the younger viewers. This can lead to a distraction of the viewer’s minds and the reality of the life they are living.  How I see this issue is that being dumb is supported and it seems to be becoming more acceptable in today’s modern society. This is showing that you can be successful in life even if you don’t have any talent or educational background. If this phase continues our nation will be downgraded and not see the importance of education.  Luckily it is predicted that this will be a short fad and the ratings will slowly decrease as time goes on. The writer points this out by stating that past trends, like the Kardashians, will start to fade and will not continue for very long. What scares me the most is that these trends seem to be getting worse and worse as time goes on and they will come up with a new concept that can entertain as well teach our nation’s young minds. Not only during this redneck phase but during Jersey Shore and other television series they promoted bad behavior. This includes drinking, and other inappropriate behaviors and actions. I hope this phase will end soon and producers will come up with many more educational, helpful, and mind challenging concepts for reality television that will create a more positive influence on our nation.   

N4~ Google Glass

I am not a big fan of the idea of these glasses. I feel that these will cause many problems and I am very scared to see how people will react to this invention.  I feel that these glasses will be a major distraction to everyday life. For example while driving they would be distracted by the images and the navigation system.  I think everyone will be obsessed with them and all the other technology will start to go downhill. I also feel that everyone will want them right away and they will be a big hit at first and then they will not be very popular after a while.  I think this will change many things because everyone will want to buy them and Google will make a lot of money on this new technology. This would be great for Google, but not so much for other companies. Most of the other companies would start to suffer and possibly go out of business because most people will not see the need for them anymore.   I personally think the idea is cool and pretty amazing but I don’t think I would ever buy them. I also think that all the features are very cool and would be very helpful in certain situations. But, I feel that people would start to rely on them too much. I like the way that you are able to talk to them and they will do exactly what you say. I thought that the video chat feature was cool because the people you are talking with are able to see what you are seeing. I also really like how you can show other people your perspective on something you have witnessed. I am not too sure what I think of these glasses. Overall they are cool but they might be a bad idea.   

N5~ choice

I honestly can’t wait for Easter and April break. I love Easter because I still get an Easter basket and my mom fills it with all of my favorite candy. I am not a big fan of chocolate but I like the sponge candy and chocolate covered pretzels, they are delicious. On Easter I always go to church with my whole family, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, mom, dad and siblings. After we go to church we all go back to my grandparents’ house for a lunch. We usually eat the colorful eggs, ham, and polish sausage. The food is honestly my favorite part of the whole day. After lunch all of the kids go on and egg hunt. Whoever finds all of their eggs first they get a prize. After the hunt we go back inside and we eat dinner, we usually eat roast beef and some type of vegetable. Then after dinner we just hang out and talk and sometimes play some games, and then we all go home. Then over break I never go anywhere. It is kind of boring but it is a relief from all the work of school. My favorite part of the break is being able to sleep in. I hope the weather will finally be nice so I can go outside and do things.  I also like hanging out with friends every day. Even though some of my friends are going on vacation and didn’t invite me so they are leaving me all alone.  I really can’t go anywhere over break because I have softball practice and a scrimmage.  But I am still excited because we don’t have school and it will be very nice and relaxing. I might be going to my aunt’s house for a few days to babysit her son. So that will be fun because I love little kids. I honestly can’t wait for this break it will be nice and fun.  

N3~ My Future Career

    Ever since I was little I have wanted to be a physical therapist. I always thought it would be cool to help out other people that are in need of help. Then I found out it has a lot to do with science. I recently figured out that that is not the right job for me. I am really bad at science and find it very boring and pointless.  If I ever tried to pursue a career in physical therapy I don’t think I would enjoy it at all. So I have just recently decided I would enjoy doing something with childcare. I think id enjoy being a preschool or kindergarten teacher.  I think I would enjoy it because I babysit all the time and I love it. I love making the little kids laugh, I love playing with them and I love teaching them new things. I think I would have fun every day and would love my job. I think I would enjoy teaching little kids the basic skills like numbers and the alphabet. But, I think I would get aggravated with some of the kids because of their outrageous behavior, but I think for the most part it would be fun. I think it would be cool to teach children and set an example for them and be a role model to them. Or I would like to go into some type of business. I would love to be a manager of a company. I think it would be awesome to be in charge of so many people and to tell them what to do. But out of these three choices I would like to be a preschool or kindergarten teacher more than anything. I think that would be the best job for me. I don’t think I’d be able to sit at a desk all day long so I think interacting with the children would be good for me.  Obviously, I haven’t put much thought into my career choice but those are my ideas for my future career.

N2~ Spring

Spring is my second favorite season of the year. I love spring because softball, my favorite sport, is starting. I also like the fact that it is finally starting to get warm out. I hate winter because it is too cold. Spring’s temperature is the best, it is not too cold but it is not too hot. Spring is the best since its starting to get warm out and it gets me excited for my favorite season, summer. I like spring because there are a lot of things to do; you have the choice to go outside or stay inside and still be comfortable with the temperature. I feel that spring puts everyone in a better mood. Since, the weather is warming up and the air seems to be fresher. My top three favorite things to do in spring are play softball, go camping and go fishing. Besides all of these good things about spring there are a few things I hate. I hate how the temperatures fluctuate from being warm the one day and freezing the next. I can’t stand it because I never know what to wear and it’s just aggravating. Another thing I can’t stand is how it rains all the time. I hate that one day it will be bright, sunny and warm then the next day it will be gloomy, rainy and cold. It is so hard to make plans during spring time because you can never predict what the weather will be like the next few days. My favorite thing about spring is that it reminds me of summer and it gets me super excited for school to end and summer to begin. Spring makes me super excited for the endless nights with friends and the hot, sunny weather. Over all I love Spring.
