What are you weekend plans?
My plans this weekend are to go to the football game tonight against Blue Valley North, then get up tomorrow morning and go to St.Luke South hospital for a community services project! I'm not sure what else I will do; I will probably make more plans as the weekend progresses.

Most students view siting work as 'a pain in the butt'. How do you feel about it? Is it necessary? When is it appropriate to cite work? What's the importance of it?
I think that siting can be a pain. I don't mind just copy and pasting the hyperlink, but I really really don't like to do the MLA citations because they are so much work. The importance of having the link cited is so you can credit the information you are using to the author. I think its appropriate to just cite the hyperlink anytime you are using direct information from a website.

What is your favorite book, magazine, or publication? Why?
My favorite book is Into the Wild because it has a really good message about intelligent rich high school graduate who gives up everything he has to go live in the wild. It's made in the format of a journal he wrote while in the wild and it's really cool to hear his thoughts and emotions. I also liked it because it is based off a true story.

Do you enjoy writing? What kind of writing do you enjoy? Why is writing an essential skill in life? How will you use this skill in the future?
I enjoy some writing. I don't like to write fictional stories as much as factual essays because I'm not as good at creative thinking. Writing skills are definitely an essential in life because it is how you can communicate with others. You will use your writing skills all through college and even after in your career. Almost every job involves some type of writing skill. Another importance of writing is you will need to it in order to get your job in the first place even if your job doesn't involve writing.

What is creating an outline for a paper important? Do you think it helps you personally? How would you prefer to outline a paper - pen and paper or an online tool? Is there a different way you know if that would prefer to organize your thoughts?
I think creating an outline is important because it can help you format your paper and organize it. It will improve your paper and make you be able to type your paper fast and have it well organized. Personally I like to outline a paper with pen and pencil then type after, but I don't mind using online tools also.

Tell me about your weekend. Where did you go? What did you do?
This weekend I worked Saturday morning from 8 in the morning to noon at Lionsgate Pet Hospital. After that I came home and took a nap until about 6. Saturday night I went to hang out with a group of friends and it was really fun! Sunday I had to go back into work to clean and take care of the cats we have staying at our work while the office was closed. Sunday I also had to do all my homework, and that was what i did this weekend!

Who do you look up to in life? Why? What have they done to help you or guide you?
I look up to my older brother because we are a lot of like and think very similarly. He is 4 years older than me so he always gives me good advice about what is to come in the future and how to handle certain situations. He has helped me a lot with high school and college planning since he is already experienced high school and is now enrolled in college at the University of Kansas.

What is good email etiquette and why is it essential in the "real" world? How can having good email etiquette put you ahead?
Good email etiquette can make you look intelligent and well informed about what you are talking about. It can put you ahead by making you look smarter or ever superior to the person you are emailing. It is very important for your job, school, college, and any business related subject that you would need to look well educated.

If there was one big global issue in the world that you could fix, what would it be? A cure for cancer? Save the rain forest? Stop pollution? Think about it and then write about it. Why would you choose that specific issue?
If I could fix one global issue I would find a cure for cancer because cancer causes 1 out of 3 deaths every year. If there was a cure for cancer we could save so many people every year. Think of all the friends and family you have lost from cancer. I bet almost every single person you know can name at least one person they know that cancer has taken their life. Think of how many people would be saved if there was a cure for cancer!

On Friday we discussed Public Service Announcements. In your own words tell me what they are and what their purpose is. If you could create a PSA what would your topic be? Why?
A public service announcement is an announcement that is non profited and usually has a set cause that is positive. An example of a public service announcement would be no texting and driving, second-hand smoke, drug abuse, global warming, health related, etc. If I had to make a public service announcement I would make it about smoking because it is something I strongly disapprove and there would be a lot of medical facts I could use.
