Using Wiki

Personally using wiki wasn't my favorite. I say this because wikipedia isn't something that i use now. I mean its great that it's a place anyone can go to put in information that may be beneficial to others. Sometimes you have to think if some of the information is legit , and 9 times out of 10 the information cannot be used as a scholarly source. Everyone sees it differently.

Using Google Drive In College Class

I think using google drive is a GREAT thing. It gives everyone to ability to interact with each other when it comes to group assignments. Also when it come to individual assignments. I mean its like a free Microsoft word but give you the ability to share things with others. You can get feedback from someone. They can few your paper at anytime if you grant them that choice and peer review to help you improve on whatever the topic of the paper at hand. I think that everyone should have some knowledge of google drive.

Using Blogging In Class

Blogging in class is different i'm sure for everyone. It gives you time to think about different topics and points to discuss things the way you see it or take it. It like a form to openly express your opinion without any "penalties". I look at it as a mini diary about school/class related topics. It brings you to discuss topics that you may have never seen before. I liked blogging in this English class a lot.

Post About Colleagues Post

One of my fellow colleagues stated that ,"Personally, writing document 3 was a hassle." Which is something i totally agree with because i had no idea where to start. It was really a struggle. Another colleague stated , " have to force myself to continue writing or find something fun in it to keep writing an academic paper." Which is something i force myself to do at times because lets be honest some topics aren't really all that interesting.

Peer Review

Everyone knows that peer review is when you receive feedback from people within your class or just a peer in general. Someone who is in the same position that you are. Giving advice to others may be hard for some people because they don't want to come off as being rude and critical to others. Some people may see it as a negative aspect , really those who don't take feedback well. Me , honestly i like receiving feedback because it'll make me a better writer once i realize my mistakes i made. I mean i can really only get better from there.

Writing Doc3

Writing Doc3 was kinda hard for me. I say this because I had so many ideas in my head about my topic. My thoughts were all over the place. I was like there is no way that i will be able to find my paper or even at least start. Procrastination was apart of me not being able to write my paper. Once i got my thoughts together , i was able to begin my paper. I really hope that all the hard work i put into it will show in my grade.

Open Post ....

    *Wipes Forehead* With this being my first semester of college the road hasn't been easy. The first semester is the time to figure yourself out as an individual , as a student. It's where you create your own learning ways and things to help you get through you classes. It's almost as if you find yourself. I could say that everyone almost have that moment where they want to give up because things get "hard" or you start to second guess your abilities as a student over one simple class. But , at the end of the day its all about gaining that ambitious gut that continues to push you and mold you into that amazing student you want to be. Also give you that feeling that you can do anything , there is no limits to the amount of success you can achieve. Never Give Up !

Analyzing 2 Posts

A point that caught my eye from Malik was that, "You learn how to be humble to yourself and to be humble to others." This is a true statement because you face many situations in life where sometimes you no longer know how to react in situations or what to do. So it can be said that you have to find that humble state of mind to get through certain situations. Also from another colleague it was stated that , "My mother and I have conflicts about the smallest stuff." In every family it's always the smallest things that set off conflicts within the household. If it's as simple as not doing something in the timely manner they thing that it should be done in. The situation that starts the conflicts is never too big , it's forever the "smallest" things.

Child/Adult Conflict

  First what is a conflict ? A conflict is basically a serious disagreement or argument. As a child the only conflicts you could possibly have is between you and your siblings or maybe a friend at school. Over something that may be pointless to adults but holds a lot of weight to you. Then the conflict between you and your parents over you doing something wrong or maybe you not getting your way about something. As an adult there are many conflicts you can face , if its within your own head/heart or if its something that's external. You could possibly face a conflict everyday of your adult life.

Childhood Games

 I believe that i can say that childhood games were things kids once enjoyed. If it was just a simple game of hide & go seek it was very much enjoyed my everyone. I hated it at times though because i never wanted to be the one to be "IT" lol . I believe everyone hated that exact moment. But in the end it was a very fun game. I enjoyed the game of freeze tag and kickball the most as a child. I believe being outside was something most kids enjoyed during their childhood. I know i was happy to get out of the house. Even if it was just for a simple race down the street with kids in the neighborhood. Childhood games were really fun , if you ask me.

How to Make Own Writing More Emphatic

            I believe that i can make my writing more emphatic? How so?  One way would be to pick a topic that you know you can elaborate on i depth and give as much feedback about whatever the topic may be. Also , you can plan out what you will write about and see different aspects of it. So you express the topic at hand more clearly. Basically finding way to keep myself from rambling on and on about something without a purpose and not making my writing clear and to the point for someone else to read.

Role of Guns in America

   In today's society i would say that guns have began to play a big role in peoples' everyday  life. Using them in the wrong ways or the right way. I mean who's to say when you'll see someone pull out a gun for no particular reason at all? In the world today people use guns as some form of "protection" because of all the crimes that have been going on , on a day to day basis. So guns definitely play a BIG role. Sometimes you can say that police use guns in the wrong way but they are protected by the badge that they wear. So to them it's the right way. It's kinda crazy , right?

Conflict With Someone In Your Family

  My brother and I always got into it over the littlest things. EVERYDAY ! He was the aggravating type of brother and the one that always wanted his way. We got into it when i wouldn't take him places when he asked. We got into it when he would take my things that obviously didn't belong to him, We got into it when he would mess with me when i didnt wanna be bothered. It was always the simplest things. But i mean who can say they never got into it with a sibling of theirs.

Post About Others Post

Many of my fellow colleagues see things from different point of view which is interesting. I say this is interesting because you get a chance to see how differently people view things or maybe how different others life are. In one of my feeling colleagues post she stated ,"Manning said that, "Our communication was physical." That is sort of like how my mom and I are. I mean, laughing is a verb right? and it could be physical, I think it is. We never talk like those mother/ daughter talks that most people have." I can totally agree with her about the communication between my mother and I being "physical". Also the part about never having those mother/daughter talks. Also another fellow colleague talked about her Wikipedia topic which is on Pediatrics. She stated , "Pediatrics is known as a new modern medicine in the society today". It's interesting to know how many people you find just from one class that are interested in being apart of the medical field some type of way.

Changing Relationships

   Being the middle child isn't too bad i guess. With my big brother it was always as if "Ours had always been a physical relationship,i suppose.." We were constantly at each others neck about something. "My feelings changed though," It was like i started not to care about when the next fight would take place or fighting in general. I Think he started to take notice as well. Eventually our relationship as brother and sister stopped being a physical one. We finally can now talk things out and HUG.

Best Information Learned About Wikipedia Topic

    In my readings that i have done about my Wikipedia topic I've been able to learn different things and gain better knowledge of the topic i decided to work with. "Assisted Living" that is. In particular in my readings it was said that, "About 70% of Assisted living places employ an RN or LPN but the increasing number of frail older adults moving to assisted living suggests there will be a need for additional nursing care." This is simply because over the years the rate of people in these assisted living facilities has increased. More elder people are put in or need to go to places of this sort. Also something else that i discovered in my readings was , "Annually, 11% of residents are transferred to a hospital, 26% die in the facility, and 24% to 40% are discharged to a long-term care facility." I guess it can be said that it is a good thing that most elderly people do not actually die in these assisted living facilities.

1 post about 2 post from my colleagues using quotes.

    Reading posts from my colleagues i decided to use the topic that was about stereotype between men and women. I found this example interesting , "women are supposed to clean and do housework." Why can't men see themselves doing house work at times? That is not just a womans job. Another quote from one of my fellow colleagues would be ,"Women stereotypes are worse than those of a man because women are usually "supposed" to be under a man. In other words, "This is a man's world". Regardless of anything, people should not label anyone a stereotype, however, it is apart of life and there isn't any escaping. I don't like how people stereotype women, especially women of today. I know that some women can be "messed up", but that isn't all of us. When people see ONE person or a small group of people or even the women on hip-hop videos, people automatically become fortune tellers and can tell your whole life style to you. That is not true. " This really caught my attention simply because in this day in time people base a womans actions off of seeing one person doing something. So the automatically assume that all women are that way. & whoever truly said that a woman is supposed to be under a man? She can be just as good alone without a mans control. So why is it said that this is a "mans world"? Trying to say that women are just living in it? We should see things as we share this world equally and no woman or man is better than one another.

Learned About My Wikipedia Topic

       I've learned a good bit about my wikipedia topic. I chose assisted living because one day i'll hope to have a chance to work in one for a period of time. I've learned that thousands and thousands of people have been put in these assisted living home places for different reasons. Also the age ranges of those who are in nursing homes. I believe you find more women in nursing homes then men from the readings i have done. I hope to get further knowledge of my topic as this project continues.

Effective WIkipedia Introduction

  An effective introduction will be solid , simply because you have an understand of what you want to talk about or simply what is being talked about. You want the introduction to stand out and make people want to read more than just the introduction because they feel the article may be good. ONLY if you have a clear introduction that catches the readers attention. Make sure you state your points that you will individually talk about in the article.

Wikipedia Article

   My articles is put into different sections. Explaining what assisted living is and going into the history of it.Also includes some statistical information. It only goes into depth about assisted living in the US. Not as a whole worldwide view.

Humor in a Strange Situation

             Finding yourself in a room full of people you don't know. Feeling a bit out of place as if you don't belong. Yet, you still find it funny how everyone just sits there and look at look you as if you're some foreign object. In which they have never seen before. Not the first "Hey" was every said in the room full of all of those people. It's funny how things work.

Stereotype : Men & Women

      Where is stereotyping? It's when you have this fixed image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. I guess it can be said that men and women stereotype each other all the time,An example would be men assuming that women are too weak to take on "manly" jobs. Simply because the man may view women as being weaker than them. The last example would be , women saying men are suppose to do the dirty work. Since they are "men" women may believe that they are the ones taking the task of that "dirty work" When truly everyone has the ability to do anything they want. There should be such thing as that's a mans job or that's a woman's job.

Value of MLA Style

  Beginning in high school my teacher's stressed the issue of using MLA format when writing a paper. In hopes that it will be a great asset for me in college. MLA format is important simply because of citations. Giving credit back to those sources that were used to help you get the information that you needed for your research paper or whatever paper you were writing. You never want to take credit for something that is not yours. So imply just do the right thing and follow then MLA format to avoid any problemsn that come along with plagiarism.

Neat People Vs. Sloppy People

  In the brief story that we read , it talked about neat people and sloppy people. Are you neat or are you sloppy? Is there anything wrong with being sloppy in the case of what the story said? No , not at all. It's kind of amazing how a sloppy person knows exactly where things are even when there is a big mess. Yes, neat people are organized and know where things are without a mess. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being sloppy. So again , are you a sloppy person or neat person?

Readings in Wikipedia article

  Readings in my wikipedia article goes into depth of what nursing homes are classified as , who nursing homes are for and what the staff consists of at nursing homes.Like the levels of nurses that are on duty. My readings also go into detail about the conditions of nursing homes. The good and bad things of nursing homes are also talked about. The readings talk about the job itself and ways to obtain the position wanted.

Post About Wikipedia Topic

  Since I am going into the nursing field and with my degree I will hopefully obtain I wanted to work in a nursing home. So an article i will be working on adding information to will deal with that topic. In hopes that I will gain information from the research that I do to incorporate into the article I will potentially be editing. I'm really looking forward to this wikipedia assignment because it's something different.

Voice In Wikipedia Article

What is a writer's voice? It simply is an individuals own writing style as an author of some sort of paper or article. My voice would be to bring my own information the the wikipedia article i have chosen at hand. I will be writing to inform other of information they should know. In which information may be missing for the article. My voices purpose would be to possibly help someone who may be lacking the information needed.

Post about how your Doc1 handles its thesis

What is a thesis? a statement or theory that is put forward as a premise to be maintained or proved. I believe that the Doc 1 paper handles its thesis very well. I say this because the thesis is there to allow the reader to understand what will be laid out in a paper so they will know what will be going on and what the subject is at hand.

Reader In Doc1 Topic

 Handling the reader in our doc1 topic is like seeing them as people who are out to learn more than what the have researched. People can get different information from people even though to topic is the same. So handle the reader as someone one who is looking for different information that they already know.

Reader in Wikipedia

The way to handle a reader in Wikipedia is to see the reader as someone who knows absolutely nothing about the topic at hand. You want to make it seem as if you have a lot of knowledge about the topic in which you are adding information to. Also you need to make sure that first you have made sense of what you are adding information to so that there will be no confusion for anyone else. You don't want to lead the reader in the wrong direction because remember the reader is someone that is likely to be clueless of the topic.

Also with writing to learn you have to think that is something you do almost everyday of your life. writing something down to learn about it or to understand what the teacher is talking about you take it and put it in your own words.

College?

   I decided to attend college because I wanted to further my education and do something that I've always talked about as a child. I know the journey will not be easy but im determined to achieve my goals that i have set. There is no doubt in my mind that I can't do this because I know that I can. I won't give up until I am at where I want to be in life.

Wikipedia Topic

    Wikipedia is a place where you go and enhance someone else knowledge by creating a document about something you know alot about or adding into something that already exists with more information. Wikipedia is a place anybody can feel free to go to and add something , literally ANYBODY. I look at wikipedia as a opportunity to help people with information they may have not known anything about.

Write To Learn

   How do you write to learn ? It's writing that you do for yourself , like taking notes during a class lecture to remember something for later on in time. Also , when it comes time to write a paper , that is also writing to learn because your mistakes will be correct so therefore you learned from the writing you created. I believe even texting can be considered some type of writing to learn. I would say that everyday is a writing to learn experience for everyone.

Doc 1 Topic

        With our doc 1 topic on online professional image , I learned that no matter if  you delete something off of social media it can always be found. Also , if you do have bad posts on social media you should try to cover those up by doing something good like post professional pictures and net working in a professional manner.

Professional Online Image

         In this English 1101 class our first paper is about having a professional online image. well , rather the importance of it and why you should always be cautious of what you post on social media. Whatever is being posted can follow you for the rest of your lives. When it comes to getting a job because employers look at that and etc... It's ALWAYS important to have a professional online image simply because you NEVER know who's watching.

     So , hopefully these papers will guide those in the right direction of getting their acts together when it come to what is posted on social media.

My Major

    My major currently is obtaining a Bachelors Degree in Science of Nursing. Why ? Simply because as a child I was always saying I wanted to be a teacher or a nurse when I got older. So , the idea of being a teacher slowly faded away the older i got. Nursing stuck with me more than teaching did. Why? Because I've always liked the thought of being able to help people out who were hurt because i'm very compassionate when it comes to things of that nature , even though teaching is also helping people , i wanted to be able to do more than that. I know nursing will have me discover many different situations and i'll be able to help a variety of people each and everyday. I really hope that this is something that I am very successful at because this has always been a dream for me , so i'm setting forth on making this dream come true for me. I'm more than determined to make this happen.
