There are many ways to get people to buy things. Ads help a lot in this process. My favorite ad is the one for I Am Number Four. They capture my intrest my showing scenes of action. They show the best parts of the movie. It also uses animation to tie into the commercial. Now I want to see this movie AND read the book. I hope it does not go out of thearters before I get to see it. It flashes the images in an appealing way. You can see the basic theme of the story whithout giving away the details. I shows the relationships and the main characters. I'm sure many people will agree with me in wanting to see this movie. They did a great job of advirtising. they even did it on channels that were more likely to attract the kind of person who like that kind of movie.

Throughout this college and career unit I have learned much. I learned that you can't just say you're going to something. You have to work your hardest to get it. I also learned you don;t have to be perfect, but if you're as good as you can be, you usually can manage to come out on top. For instance in the job interviews,  I was caught with a question I wasn't prepared for. I did my best to come up with a good answer and it wasn't that bad. You may not be perfect, but you can be pretty good. Another thing I learned was that if your using pen, have more than one card. I was writing my thank you card. When I got to the end I realized I would not be able to fit all the words on the cards. I ended up having to write it on top, but if it were real, I would have been done for. That's why you need an extra copy of whatever your writing even for the least important item.  I really hope I don't have to go all this when I go to college again. Hopefully, it will be easier when I do it the next time because of this unit.

It's not just experiences that shape your life, but people. There are many people that have shaped my life, both good and bad.  are two people that inspire me and most of decisions in my life are my parents. They encase how I want to be both now and in the future. They both come from families where the odds were against them . My parents started a family in big town. That is where I see myself after graduating. While, because I have them, I can’t be exactly like them, that’s good because that will help me from plagiarizing there life.

I am constantly reading and all my favorite characters are remind me of my dad. They are usually smart people who overcame hardships. They also have a strong leadership position. He manages not to just be a leader, but a leader everybody loves. He once spent Christmas Eve playing Santa at a homeless shelter. He went to college a long way away from home and he took it not as a challenge, but a mountain to overcome. He takes all challenges and just stares them down. I believe he has helped me become the person I am today and I am proud to say that. My mother also has shaped my life, but in a different way. My mother knew what she wanted to do. She wanted to become a nurse. She didn't let the numerous antagonists in her way stop her she charged rite ahead and did it. My mother taught me that if you're not tall you can still have an intimidating presence to if you use your brains. She taught me that brains can solve any problem. She is the motherly figure in all the books. She reminds me so much of Mae Tuck in Tuck Everlasting. Mae is powerful and sweet. My parents have taught me many things in my life, but there are some things they can't teach. Such as the skills needed to make as a mechanical engineer and how to make it as an adult. M.I.T., I feel will teach me these skills, and whatever else I need to learn to become like my parents.

Technology affects how we learn. While the people who say that it has a negative affect on children's attention span have a valid point, they are absolutely  wrong to not let there kids or students not go on because of this. The Internet brings thousands of articles to your fingertips. It is so simple to research that people, just because they're bored, will read articles. You can get books online easily and quickly. This makes it more likely for people to read. Another problem with technology is that kids can access things that distract them from schoolwork, but that doesn't mean that they can't take precautions and set rules. I know that people are worried by things that their kids can do better than them. Sure it's scary for your kids to be able do something that you don't know how to protect them from or if they're really doing something bad. Those people should get over their pride and take a class. That is no reason to keep their kids from learning to their potential with the technology we have. Technology allows people to learn a whole lot more than was learned when we did not have technology. I mean sure, there are valid points to their campaign to annihilate the Internet, but the pros always outweigh the cons, and it most definitly helps us learn a whole lot more than a time without technology. People will try to tell you otherwise, but those people are WRONG.

What Ms. Carrol should know.

Hi, my name is Rebecca Welch. I come from James Monroe Elementary School. I like to read in my spare time. The class is fairly relaxed. Every week we have a grammer quiz. Lately, we have been doing a study island quiz ,too. We do all our tests on the smartbourd via clickers. Every week we have to comment on someones blog from the past week. We also have a blog post every week. Mrs. Patalano tells us what to post. Every day we have to read at least 20 pages and have signed consent from our parents. We can only use the form she gives to us as I have found out many times. We are currently doing a unit on future careers and King Tut. That's all you need to know.

It is important to plan for the future. Since I was about five, I have wanted to become a mechanical engineer. I have always loved the idea of creating new things that have never been done before. Seeing the new gadgets, I am always trying to figure out how to make them better. Sometimes I even think so up before they come out. I have also wanted to become a mechanic, but there is not enough change day to day and won't challenge me enough.
I have always wanted to go to either MIT or Harvard. I would like to go to MIT because it is an amazing school.It is also close to my home, but not too close so I can get that feeling of being on my own. Furthermore, it speacializes in technology. Mechanical engineers make technology so that falls into MIT's catagory. I would like to go to Harvard because it is also a very nice school. It is one of the best in the country. It is also one of the oldest. I love the history of it. It is also close to my home, but not too close so I can get that feeling of being on my own.
