Work. We all do it. It's what happens after receiving your diploma. It is your income, it is your motivation, and it is what will further your knowledge through experience. Whether it will be a job at Mcdonald's or on the executive board of a billion dollar company, work is work. Depends really how you look at it of course. I see it as, how much work did you put into getting that job? How much are you willing to put into that job? and of course, how did you get that job. The difference between my definition and the others is that they are basing it of statistics and business assumptions. If I have learned anything from my Principles of Management class, its this; There are tens of thousands of business assumptions and many or most of them will fail. Therefore, how can we just say that foreigners are going to take our jobs? Because they are cheap? They are cheap because of the service they get and the skills they lack. If you get payed well, that's because you have skill, are well-educated and have motivation to improve yourself.

Design Plan for Photo Essay

                                             Design Plan for Photo Essay

           

Medium:  For this photo essay I will be using either prezi.com or PowerPoint for my medium. Prezi.com is a fun and creative way to show slideshows by using shapes like circles or squares. Also, it has a variety of fun backgrounds to use absolutely free. My ladder, PowerPoint, is a rather better alternative because it is what most people are used to. Plus, there is much more options to choose from and it is also free.

Arrangement: My arrangement will consist of multiple photos. To switch things up, I was thinking of shooting everything in first- person. I want to do that because I think it is unique photography and also it will be easier to follow through the story line. Secondly, the narration will consist of both captions and a paragraph on each slide. I will have a narrative on the first slide, and captions will be underneath each photograph.

Strategies: As I explained in my statement of purpose, my essay will argue that video gaming during school days distracts students from their education. I will use target segmentation so my essay will be easier to follow. What I mean is, by targeting a certain group, which will be my section mates in Pope Hall, will make my argument easier to pertain to.  Ill be taking pictures of: us playing video games, not being able to sleep, distracted from doing homework, how many game systems there are, etc.

Ethos- I need to show the importance on why gaming during the school days is distracting and show the outcome of it. From personal experience, I know gaming distracts education and I need to get my peers to see that I truly do know what I am talking about.

Pathos- To clarify, my thoughts on this topic are personal because I can relate to this matter. I claim this topic to be used with serious emotions, as it is a serious topic to write about.

Logos- I will be as serious as possible and reason with logic to the greatest extent.

Photo Essay Reflection

Well, well... This was a totally new experience for me. I have NEVER done an essay where photography was the main focus. Make sure it's centered right, framed, etc... I truly did enjoy doing it though. I mean, my first idea about how music can help make new friends as an upcoming freshman was not a success. It would have been if it was a persuasive essay and with out visual context. So, I couldn't figure out what kind of pictures to take. So I completely turned the tables and talked about how video games are distracting to college students during school days. Now, I chose this topic because I had support for it by using my own personal experience to explain my accusation. I truly think it went well, although, I think I could of done it better on Powerpoint then Prezi.com. I used Prezi because I thought it would be creative, since no one else did use it. Anyways, It was fun to do and I would recommend to do this to a class in 4 more years. I can tell this is an evolution kind of thing and that it is your theory that this is the generation to do it...But honestly, it isn't quite ready for our generation.

My reading experiences

Well I will be completely honest. I don't enjoy reading. When I do read though, it's during the day when I am completely focused and my medicine for my ADD has kicked in fully. I only read when I have to study or its my homework assignment. I guess what is beneficial about reading is that I get knowledge from it and somewhat it relaxes me. But if you want to be technical about it, I really enjoy articles that are informative. I enjoy learning about king tut or what product placement is. I can apply this information from these articles or books to my daily life. Does reading tweets count? Because if it does then I would call myself a liar when I said I don;t enjoy reading. Maybe its because I hate long books cause I have no patience for them. Oh well.

                                                           Statement of Purpose

Purpose:         

            I want to convince unaware freshmen in college that the type of music plays a role in your identity. In hope that, they will bond with individuals who share the same interests as them.         

Audience:

            The audience will be unaware freshmen in college because they are soon to enter college practically not knowing anyone or how it will be like.

Context:

            This will take place in the beginning of the school year as the unaware freshmen are beginning to look for a group of individuals with the same similarities.

                                               

                                                          Statement of Purpose:

            I want to persuade unaware freshmen in college that music can identify who you are and whom you associate yourself with. I want to encourage incoming college students to share their similar interests in music with their fellow peers. I do realize that music is not the only thing to base a friendship off of, but it does help to have the same taste of music.  Although you may not have the same taste in music as them, there may be other things in common. The best possible outcome you can achieve from having the same appreciation of artist’s is the achievement of finding your own identity as well as meeting others that share the same common interests. It allows for communication between two individuals. It also allows a good starting point for further conversations. My goal is to give incoming freshman an understanding on how much music is a value to them; therefore it will help me move on with my project and continue my research.
