Journal - Tell me about your weekend. Where did you go? What did you do?

This weekend started off at the lovely time of 5:00 am. You see, I had the first cross country of the year Saturday and had to be at the school bright and early. The meet was at someones farm in Paola, so the bus ride was about 30-45 minutes. the meet started off with girls varsity, girls JV  boys varsity and them boys JV. Boys JV ran at 8:30, which was the last race of the meet, I finished 67th out of about 200 kids. The meet was a good experience, however, I hope to do better next time.

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

I look up to my dad in life. I'm a lot like my dad so we have a special type of bond compared to my other siblings. They main way we relate is how we both played/are going to play athletics in college. The recruiting process was long and new for me but since my dad did it before he was able to guide me to commit to the right college.

Journal - What is good email etiquette and why is it essential in the "real" world? How can having good email etiquette put you ahead?


The first step to good email etiquette is to use proper grammar. This is essential in the real world because you want to come across as well mannered and educated. Possessing  good grammar and good email etiquette will put you ahead of the rest of the competition due to the fact that you appear professional and classy. Good email etiquette is imperative if you want to succeed in the real world.

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?

I would chose to end war. When you think about it, war is one of the many causes of  death, poverty, and money loss. War causes death which brings unnecessary hardships to the family who lost a member. without war the family would not be grieving and still have their son/daughter. War would also start to cure poverty. Bombing runs bring about many families to be homeless. with out war families would still have a house to live in. In conclusion, I would chose to end all wars because of the benefitsthat occur from no war.

 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?

If I could create a PSA I would create it over texting while driving. Texting while driving is a big problem in our society, and it leads to a lot of car crashes and deaths. The roads would be a much safer place if  everyone stopped texting and driving.
