The most memorable life lesson I was ever taught was from my basketball coach at my church. I played basketball for my church for 3.5 seasons and in 3rd grade I had the best basketball coach ever. Coach Norm gave the best lectures ever. That life lesson was to not give it your all give it more than your all push to give 110 percent because 100 percent is not your full potential. you will get back the amount that you put in you just might get it back in a little bit of a different way. I will hold those words in my heart for the rest of my life because it is more than true.

“Should it be illegal for employers to check job applicants' Facebook profiles?” Written by Kashmir Hill. This article is all about the amount of employers that look at your online footprint before even considering hiring somebody to work for them. “The Board of Bar Examiners did adopt the policy that investigation of social networking” and I feel that if universities testing examiners have decided that to explore individuals social networking. I believe that it is very good idea that employers do look at their employees social networking footprint. I completely agree with this article because one of my best friend’s family members recently got in a huge amount of trouble because of what she posted on her Twitter. She committed an act of slander upon a teacher and got in a large amount of legal trouble. I hate the fact that she was dumb enough to even think about doing something as stupid as that. However I find this funny because my best friend and I have told this person many times that she could get in a ton of trouble for putting those things on the internet. She would like to attend Michigan State University and we have warned her that big universities such as Michigan State look at the stuff that you put out on the internet. I completely agree with this article that employers are smart to look at your internet footprint. The information presented in this article will benefit me now and in the future. This will benefit me because I know that people do not just tell you the\at you need to stop posting that on Facebook and stop tweeting that on Twitter. Someday someone important will see that and look down upon you because of your choices of what information you put out on the Internet for everyone to see. Some things you keep to yourself or share with a loved one through word of mouth not through a status update. Social media can be good but it can also be bad because most people do not know the statistics of how many employers really do base if you get a job or not on your social networking pages. However, if you’re Facebook, Twitter, and Linked-In, and all of your other social media outputs have nothing but good vibes and positive status updates you have nothing to worry about. Social Media: websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking. Interview: a meeting of people face to face, especially for consultation. The work that I am most proud of would have to be the articles that I have written in Writing For Publications class. I am very proud of this because I really love to write and I love the fact that I did very very good in that class. The other thing that I have done that I am very proud of is completing the class at my church to let me make my confirmation. This is not really a work sample however it is one of the things in my life that I am very proud of completing. Those are the work samples that I am most proud of. When I put my name into the Google search engine a ton of pictures of me, my Facebook, my Twitter, my Instagram, and Barolo wine. Barolo wine is a very well known wine in most European countries, Mainly Italy. Barolo wine is mainly sold in Italy because Barolo is an Italian last name. I am not scared of what my online footprint is because I do not put any negative things on my Facebook or Twitter. The job I have always wanted to have during high school is doing something that involves working with people and sports. I found that job. Yes I found my dream job should be starting work there this summer. This job is right across the street from my house so it will work very well. I do not have to waist gas to get there or anything. All I have to do is walk about the length of a football field. This place is called Kyte Monroe. This job is connected to my dream career. You may not be able to see how it connect but I can. It is connected by me loving to deal with or help people. And working at a concession stand for so extra money during the summer. Having my own money will allow me to be reliant on myself, instead of having my parents give me money to do everything that I want to do. I would not want to have a memory of an elephant because if during this period of my life that I can not do something I still want to be able to accomplish that goal just a little later in life. Elephants will not be able to accomplish it because when they tried as a calf they could not do it and there memory does not let them do something they could not do as a calf. The most memorable moment that I have had during my time on Earth is going to Mackinaw Island on a field trip during 4th grade. I have so many great memories of that trip. One thing that I have always taken for granted is the fact that I have never NEEDED something and not had it. My parents work very hard to make sure that my brothers and I have everything we need. I find it awesome that I have never been in NEED of anything. Unfortunately not everyone is as blesses as I am to have everything I need to be successful in school, sports, after school activities that I am involved in. I believe the reason I strive to help others is because I know that not everyone has what they truly need in life. "One of my favorite sayings is the things you take for granted someone else is praying for." I believe the reason I really like this quote is because I get really annoyed when people do not understand how blessed they really are. For spring break I plan on going shopping and packing because April 25th I am leaving for Florida. I really do not plan on going anywhere special because I have saved all of my money for Florida. I am really excited for April 25th. Usually I am so excited for spring break to be there because I get a whole week off of school, yes I am really excited to just hang out at home and not have to do anything. I can not believe I am saying this but this year I really excited for taking a week off of school to go to Florida. My brother and I do the yard work for my dad and our neighbors. My dad has a bad back and can not to the yard work anymore because he has had six lower back surgeries. We help my neighbor because she is a older lady and also has health problems. It brings satisfaction to many people to know that people still care about other people. That teenage kids still take time out of there day to go help someone with something that they are incapable of doing. |
