Who do you look up to in life? Why? What have they done to help you or guide you?
I look up to my mom in life. I look up to my mom because shes always there when I need help or advice on something. My mom used to help me with my homework when I needed help and she picks me up after school when I decide to stay after school. I also look up to my mom because she manages to have four kids-each in some-sort of activity or sport, and she has to work. She manages to balance both of these thing in her life and this is what I love about her.

Tell me about the global issue you selected yesterday.
The global issue I picked was cancer. I picked this because I really wanted to learn more about it because if another person gets cancer in my family then I will know what is really going on in their body. I only know about cancer in children because I did a Biology project on it a couple weeks ago. Cancer is one thing that I think people shouldn't get diagnosed with because they didn't do anything to deserve getting their life shortened/limited.

If you could pick one issue in the world to fix or change what would it be and why?
If I could pick one issue in the world to fix, I would want to find a cure to cancer. I would want to find a cure to cancer because thousands of people are/have died from it, and I don't think that it is fair for them to have a shortened life. Not only adults are affected by cancer, but children are too, and I really think that it is unfair for children to get diagnosed with cancer, and then be worried the rest of their life that it might come back. Nobody who is diagnosed with cancer deserves to get it and have to be worried about it for the rest of their life.

What is a Public Service Announcement? If you don't know what it is, Google it. In your own words, now tell me what it is? What are they used for? Can you recall an example of a PSA you've seen before?
A public service announcement is a short message produced on film, videotape or a DVD. They are used when a nonprofit group of people want to get a message to the media/viewers. Public service announcements are used for getting people informed about a certain topic. For example there can be a public service announcement over smoking, animal abuse, child abuse, or bullying. I have seen a PSA over no texting while driving as well as a PSA over animal abuse.

Tell me about your three day weekend. How was it? What did you do? Elaborate!
Over my three day weekend I went to Denver, to see my dad. While I was in Denver I babysat my neighbor, Carlene, while her mom was giving birth to twins. While I watched her we flew kites in a park close to my house and we played on a playground while we were in the park. The next day we watched the Broncos game. My dad and sisters really love the Broncos, so we had a barbecue at our house, and had friends over. Everyone was really excited that the Broncos won, and are going to the Super Bowl. On Monday we went shopping, and I got to go to Gordmans. I really love that store because thy have a variety of things to look at. Monday night my sisters and I all flew back to Kansas City.

What have you learned about Google Drive and Google Presentation so far? What do you like about it? What problems have you run in to? Is it better than PowerPoint?
I have learned that there are things on Google Drive, that are just like word and power point. I have also learned that Google Drive saves things on its own, so I don't have to save it; that s a really helpful asset. O have also learned that you can access Google Drive and all your projects on any computer because it only requires you to log into your gmail. I personally like Google Presentation better because you can add more personal touches to it. For example, you can add a certain color to lines on a slide and you can change colors, fonts, size and backgrounds. You can do all these things in Power Point. but I think it is more simple to do in Google Presentation.

Images on the internet are 'free game' - if someone posted I should be able to use it.
I do not agree with this statement. I don not agree with this because if someone posts a picture they might only want certain people to see it. For example if someone posts a picture on Instagram, only their followers can see it, so it is kept more private. Since this person wants this to be private I don't think it is right for someone to be able to use a picture that someone only wanted certain people to see, or if they wanted to keep it private.

What do you want to learn in the class the semester? What information do you want to walk away with that you didn't know before? Elaborate!
In this class this semester I want to learn how to post and use a blog and learn how to use a computer better. The information that I want to walk away with from this class is how to use the resources that didn't know the computer had.
