My favorite 3

My first favorite presentation was by the guy who made the quesadillas, I forgot his name because I lost his handout, but I do remember that wonderful presentation. What made it so enjoyable was the taste. They were delicious. You can ask Jennifer too, she was up there eating about as many times as I was. I learned how to make a tasty quesadillas with pineapples. He was an effective presenter because he spoke loud and clear, he had great pictures for explaining what you needed, and organized slides. The next presentation I enjoyed was the Los huevos de la fiesta by Landon Ray. Of course it's one of my favorites because the dip was good, not quite like the quesadillas, but still pretty good. I learned how to make a Mexican snack. In my opinion, he wasn't an effective presenter because he wasn't loud and clear and didn't really seem excited about his presentation. However, the presentation was one of my favorites not only because the food was good but also because I learned how to make somthing new. My most favorite out of the three is The Best Active Athlete by David Gordon. This presentation was the most enjoyable to me because his idea was creative and different from any of the other presentations. I didn't really learn anything from the presentation because I am a athlete myself and I knew all the athletes he was comparing. He was an effective presenter because he spoke loud and clear, he added humor to his speech and, he had great pictures of the athletes. He never used any picture twice of each athlete. Also, the winner of all the athletes was Usain Bolt who in my opinion is the best athlete.

Cover letter advice

I think the advice given in the website was helpful, so yes, I agree with it. I don't really disagree with any of the advice because I am learning how to write a correct cover letter so all the advice that I read was helpful. The section that was most useful to me, is the one entitled "The Best Use of a Cover Letter" because it told you step by step exactly what you need on a cover letter. One thing that I didn't know was that the cover letter isn't read first, so I will make my resume a little better since that is read first.

Visit from client

The client visit was pretty useful because she gave me a bunch of diffrent ideas for the group and plenty examples of things we could do. I really don't have any ideas for the group yet, but I've been thinking about a video involving me as a character similar to Flash, or Scotty doing somthing similar to the big linebacker guy we watched in class. My biggest concerns are getting an A out of this group project and getting an A in the class. In my opinion, the group is doing fine. We all get along well and enjoy working with each other. And, the question I had for you was answered in class.

Response to interview mistakes

I think that the article did state the biggest mistakes that are made in a job interview because lying, and not practicing, in my opinion, are the two biggest mistakes, and those were stated in the article. If you lie, more then likley the interviewer will eventually find out. Everyone knows if you do not practice then you won,t do well at all unless you're just talented. I have not had a job inerview, but I have heard from friends and family that you are asked tons of hard questions, and you're going to be very nervous. They said that you also have to be prepared to ask questions. A person can prepare him or herslef for a job interview by practicing answering questions. Practice is the key to success.

STUDY HALL SUCKS!!!

I feel that study hall is affecting my career because if I miss just a few minutes I get suspended from practice. Therefore, I am missing out on key workouts and when you miss out on workouts, you fall behind and won't be able to succeed at your sport. People say practice makes perfect, and if I can't go to practice, then I will never be perfect. Ten hours a week is a bit extreme when it only stays open untill 10:00 pm, and I don't get out of practice untill about 6:30. By then, I am extremly exhausted and hungry. I never have time to eat because we can't eat in study hall and our coach says they do not want us to eat after 8:00 pm. How is this possible when I don't get out of study hall untill 8:00, 9:00 or 10:00 depending on how many hours I have. In my opinion, study hall is pointless because I honestly can't focus on studying. I am looking at my phone every second just to see how long I've been in there. If I just go in there and study I will eventually run out of things to study and fall asleep. To sum up this paragraph, study hall sucks!

Post for week of jan. 18

In ten years I would like to be professional in track and field, running for Nike, with a degree from Clemson University. Being professional in track means I get to travel from country to country doing what I love to do most, run. I would like to be living in California, Atlanta, or Charlotte. For my lifestyle, I would hope to be wealthy, happily married with at least two kids. I also would like to be a head track and field coach for any D-1 college.

Web 2.0

The title of the video is very significant. To me the title is asking a simple question, are we the machine, or is the machine using us? Sometimes when you are putting information on to the web you fail to realize that the information is public. This can lead to many issues. For someone who is looking for a job, you never know how much research your employer is actually doing on you before hiring you. You should always beware of the pictures or general information that you have up about yourself. Even once you have been hired you have to make sure that all of the information that you introduce to the web will be accepted by your employers. Because so much personal information is placed on the web, we have to begin thinking of the consequences, such as identity theft. Although the web possess the positives of connecting everyone, there are also negatives that we need to continue to realize.
