Finish this sentence "10 years from now I will be...." (explain)

10 years from now I will be 28. I have no idea what I will be doing, I wish I knew but I don't. Instead, I will tell you where I would like to be 10 years from now. 10 years from now, I would like to be out of college and have a job that I like doing every day. I would like to have a boyfriend, travel the world with him, get to know him, love him, get married, have a baby, and soon start a family. All I really want is to live a happy life.

Yesterday I had you choose a global issue and you wrote about it on your blog. Today on your blog I want you to tell me about two different perspectives of your global issue. Are there people for an against your issue? Do people disagree on your issue? Is it a topic that can cause controversy? Look at the issue for two different perspectives. Tell me about those perspectives.

 As many people know marijuana is legal in 23 states. Some can only use medical. Majority of Americans are for legalization of marijuana. Fact: Medical use of marijuana has been demonstrated to ease symptoms from severe medical conditions, including muscle spasms caused by multiple sclerosis, nausea from cancer chemotherapy, poor appetite and weight loss caused by chronic illness such as HIV, as well as nerve pain and seizure disorders. Fact:  “Marijuana has been illegal because too many people think it is too dangerous to allow adults to use, when in fact it is less harmful than alcohol.” If marijuana is legal in some states, and it's not as harmful as alcohol, Why can't it be legal?

Marijuana Legalization

Marijuana legalization is a big issue in the U.S., I know that it is legal in only a few states, and some of them, medical can only be used. I know marijuana is used illegally by a lot of people and those people wish to have it legalized.

I don't know a lot about this issue and I would like to know more. I want to know when people started using it, why it's good/ bad, the affect it has on people, all the ways it is used, the pros and cons and any other information that I do not already know .

I picked this issue because I think it's going to have a big impact on my life as the years go on. Currently, they talk about legalizing it in other states and one of those states could be mine one day or I could move and it could be legal there. I think it's important for me and other Americans to know about it and how it could affect us later in life. This issue makes me think a lot and that's why I would like to know more about it.

Last week I asked your to "think differently" and push yourself to be uncommon with your PSA project using Google Slides. Why do you think I asked you to do that? What is the point? Why not just use bullets and headers? Explain.

Last week we made a PSA and you told us to "think differently", I think you told us this because during the first week we made a regular presentation and we didn't use animations like we did in the PSA. I think the point of that was to get familiar with some of the software so we know how to use it for the future. If we would have used bullets and headers it wouldn't stand out and that's what a PSA is suppose to do.

PSA- Don't Text and Drive!

Pretend you are in your 70s or 80s, complain about kids these days..

Kids these days are getting worse and worse as the years go on. I say this because I started seeing younger kids do things that you see a lot of college kids doing. A lot of them disrespect their parents, which is sad to me because parents do a lot for there kids. I don't think kids these days appreciate that anymore.

What is a public service announcement (PSA)? What do PSA's do? What makes a good PSA? How can you get someone to take action after watching a PSA? What is you PSA idea? Explain in detail. 

A public service announcement is basically a message of some kind, that can be seen in public. PSA's are to inform people about things that are happening in the world. Something that would grab my or any persons attention. For someone to actually take action, they would have really had to be interested and making a difference or doing whatever it takes to fix the problem they are announcing. When I think of a PSA, I think of a poster or video that expresses the good or bad that its doing for the public.

 Over the three day weekend, i got to hang out with one of my friends that I haven't seen in awhile. She lives in Blue Springs and graduated high school at semester. Her and her family surprised me and told me I was invited to go on a cruise with them at the end of February, as a graduation present. We are leaving one month from today. I can't wait!!! I also hung out with another friend from Southwest, we went shopping and it was pretty fun. Three day weekends are my favorite!

Tell me a little bit about yourself and your life here at BVHS. What activities or clubs are you involved in? What year are you in school? What is your favorite class and/or teacher so far this year? What are you looking forward to this school year? Include some original photos from your phone if you can.

I am a senior at BVHS, I was a football manager last year and half of this year but I had to quit because I got a job. My favorite class is Ceramics, because I liked making cool stuff and giving it to my mom after whatever I made was done. My favorite teacher at BVHS is Mr. Williams, because he's a pretty chill teacher. I am looking forward to having a fun senior year and I CAN'T WAIT to graduate!!

What are your thoughts on this class so far? Easy? Hard? Informative? Frustrating? What have you learned so far? What do you want to learn? Explain yourself.

So far I think this class is pretty easy. We haven't done a whole lot to fully judge it. But I think the blog is pretty cool thing to do. I also find that setting up a Google drive was helpful not only in this class but other classes. I wish I would have gotten introduced to it sooner this year. I'm hoping to get more familiar with technology because I don't really know a lot and i think knowing things about computers important.

 Friday, my friend from Arizona finally came back and I hung out with him.  Saturday,I had a girls night with some friends and played Cards Against Humanity, I hadn't seen them in awhile so it was nice to catch up. We listened to music and had a good time. Sunday, I saw an old friend that I don't see very often because we don't go to the same school. We went to get pizza and then went to the museum because neither of us had been to it. It was a pretty cool museum and I usually don't like museums.

Read this small newspaper clipping and then write a blog post about it. What are your thoughts? How does it make you feel? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.
While reading this article, I have come to the conclusion that teenagers are stubborn about everything. I say this because we are always wanting something to do,not just anything though. We are always wanting something FUN to do.. Mowing the lawn, learning how to cook, or reading a book isn't fun. It probably could be fun but teenagers are lazy. We never want to do anything that could be good for us. We do need to start realizing that "having fun"  is not what life is about, yes we should have fun. We should also do something that is worth our time. Teenagers relay on the parents for everything, clothes, money, food. A lot of us are capable of getting a job, so why don't we? In the article it says "you owe the world something." I agree we all owe the world our something. You have probably know idea what you owe, but that's why we need to get out there and find it. We  as teenagers need to step up and do something for ourselves instead of mommy or daddy doing it for us.
