I currently live in a small beach town right outside of Jupiter, Florida known as Hobe Sound. It’s a “drive by town” as I would describe it. There really isn’t anything there would attract or gravitate people to stay there; its better to just look at it out a car window well passing it. It is currently about six hours outside of Tallahassee, Florida. This seems really long, but originally I signed to go to University of Mississippi and later realized that being more than ten hours away from home was to much for me.…
Project 1 - Personal Writing Process I like to think of myself as a creative writer. However, it is true that the majority of my writing time is dedicated to educational writing for school. So currently I am a creative writer in spirit and an educational writer out of necessity.…
The first time, I enrolled in this class, I felt excited knowing this class would help on my grammar, so I can become a better writer. My first thought that cross my mind was this was going to be easy and it was. My last experienced with writing and English was okay because I mainly get a B or a C, but rarely I would get an A. I always been having trouble with grammars. My high school English teachers taught us about grammars and how to become a better writer. It was similar to what you had taught us in class because we always learned about grammar out of a book and we got tested after we been practice.…
When I was a child I always though about business. I wanted to know how things worked, how money worked. I started watching my grandfather write his invoices, deposit checks, talk to people as if he knew them but they had just met. I wondered how he did it, how he played his cards right and got people to hire him.…
For most students, the moment the bell rings for summer, they never speak to their teachers again. Usually this applies to me as well, but last year, it didn't. Ms. Dirmeyer, my 7th grade Language Arts teacher, still keeps in touch with me, even though she’s not my teacher anymore. She takes interest in my writing, and has done several things to help me improve. Ms. Dirmeyer sends me emails with writing tips, along with worksheets directed towards improving my writing.…
Whether we know it or not in this modern society we are writers everyday of our lives. These interactions shape not only how we communicate but how we write as well. Personally, I have been shaped by the influence of both other writers I have known and those I have only read the creations of. Those same influences contributed to both my writing style in the classroom and to my identity as a writer. I spent a lot of my childhood with my nose deep in fiction novels at near by libraries.…
Over the first semester I feel I have been appropriately challenged in the area of writing we have done this year. I learned many new skills, but the most important one involves English and how to write properly. As for the first writing, I really did not understand what was right and what was wrong. Because I never paid close attention to specific rules in how to write. I truly believe it has been hard for me.…
My own writing process, and how its benefits me. Although my major is not an English major or yet to become a preeminent writer, I have learned to appreciate the peaceful nature of writing. Aside from performing well on my homework in other classes, writing an essay for my English class was the hardest and most intriguing experience for me. After taking two semester of English courses, it helped me to change my conception about writing and become a confident writer.…
When I think about my presence on the internet, I think of my social media accounts, things I have accomplished and things I have been apart of that could show up when you searched my name in a search bar. For my rampages site I took into account the various articles we looked at, what my other social media accounts looked like as well as past assignments that I could relate to this assignment, so that I could make the best decisions possible to write a solid explanation for my decisions. On my rampage site I tried to keep my site professional, but as well as a little personal. I included personal and professional pictures of me as well as information about me, some of my academic works, as well as my track and field information.…
Every morning when I wake up, the first thing I do is, I look at my cellphone to turn off the sirens going off on my alarm. I spend about 10 minutes on my phone viewing any notifications, messages, and timelines on my social media. Once I notice the time on my phone I quickly start to get ready for the day. While getting ready I listen to music on my phone and keep an eye on the time to make sure that I am not running late. Throughout the day I consistently check my email, both personal and school, to keep up to date with my everyday life.…
In my interview I choose to interview one of my housemates Samantha Wood. I do not know Samantha very well but have communicated with her the odd time. Samantha goes to Georgian college and is 21 years old. I choose to interview her specifically because she is quite about her life and interests so I was motivated to use this interview to get to know her better.…
Have you ever felt the urge to change some part of you? That you wish you could be a different person with all the blazing qualities.(That’s tempting, right? ) I know everybody wishes that. Yes, that feeling which makes our live’s unsatisfying and sad. And Internet has done it.…
Facebook users experience various types of people; However, I do not go on Facebook that often, but when I do it is to check out all the so-called dramatic lives of some of my most treasured Facebook friends. If it were not for them, I would probably never log on, but I just cannot miss the seemingly insignificant things they get themselves into a rage about. The dramatic relationship troubles, the cries for attention, or the scrolling through the many years on my timeline. It is all nonsense that gets put up for public consumption. I can find my face buried in the social media world when I am bored during my lunch break at work, or just absolutely cannot seem to find anything else to do.…
My first personal interaction with social media was precisely in 2006, two years after what I could call the boom of Myspace. Compare to most of friends, it took me awhile before joining the circle because I didn’t think it was a useful tool for me until I took my first trip to France, where I started to miss my families and friends and I then create an account, just to communicate pricelessly with them. Back then, there were no prevalent features as video chat or voice and photos upload, as Facebook is doing nowadays. We were at least able to text message and the security awareness was not a huge concern yet.…
Although my past relationship was not “Facebook Official” as we call it nowadays and we never really went on “dates,” I still consider this a relationship to myself. There was a physical connection that I felt towards this person, but I wonder if he felt the same connection that I did. Life in a small town… I grew up in the small town of Shenandoah – one of those small towns where everyone knows everyone, word gets around and rumors spread like wildfire. Even though my “relationship” was kept under wraps, kind of like one of those deep dark secrets you share only with your closest best friend, rumors still began to surface and word traveled around which led to the usual people talking behind my back.…
