My high school teachers were some of the best people that have ever come into my life. My sophomore, junior and senior year I had a coach that was a huge role model in my life. He knew me and he knew what I needed to keep me going in my darkest times in high school. High school was a very rough and I felt like life was just falling apart. Another amazing teacher I had was my science teacher my senior year. She was a relative of my best friend and she just understood me and helped me in every way she could, and it just meant so much to me. She took the time out of her day to go out of her way to help me with different problems and help me be a better student. Finally, my math teacher my senior year. She always so perky in class and she just was always so lively.

The second paper was quite a bit harder writing than the first one for several different reasons. Our diagnostic paper was primarily based on our personal experiences and stuff we have been through. The second paper was we had to use other people’s experiences and sources. So, it became a little harder. Needing to know how to cite certain things and learning how to word things without sounding like it is someone else’s words. That is the biggest thing I struggle with is trying to find things online to put into my paper. Citing different websites is difficult because I cannot figure out what I need and what I do not need. So, I would say that by far the second paper has been harder to write and put together and make as perfect as I could than the first one was.

Everything that you find in a website and you decide to put it in your paper you need to cite it. It does not matter if it is only a couple of words you have to cite it. If you do not then it could come back as plagiarizing and you could fail the class and sometimes even be dismissed from the whole school. Citing is a very big deal in college and people do not realize that when they are writing papers, even if it is for a different class besides English or something related to English.

I think I understand MLA format very well it just becomes hard when you get to cited certain things. I just struggle most with knowing what to put in there and what not to and where to find the certain things. MLA is probably the easiest format I have used so far. Maybe when you’re first learning it can be hard but after you write a couple papers with it you get the hang of it. The only thing I would need help on would be the works cited and how to word them and but everything in the correct order.

If I had to describe my friends in three different ways I would probably have to associate the words with their personalities. What I mean by that is, none of my friends have near the same personality. One of my friends is outgoing and crazy and always has so much energy. My other friend is to herself and more rude than others, but always wants to have a good time. Finally, the third friend is stubborn, wild, and very impatient. One thing all my friends have in common is they don’t listen and that has to do with the kind of person they are and they way their mind works. It is always good to have the perfect balance of them all through life so life never gets boring. Best friends play a big role in your life so you never want to settle for less than what you deserve.

I both agree and disagree with the fact that college students struggle to balance their schoolwork and the tasks of everyday life. I know that for me when I first started college, I struggled big time. It was a really big adjustment for me because I was just used to waking up every day and going to work 8-5 and going home and not having to worry about schoolwork. Once I started college that wasn’t my daily schedule anymore. My schedule became very choppy, I was working a full-time job in part-time hours all while still being a full-time student. I struggled to find time for family and friends but once you find your own groove it gets a lot easier to manage. You know when you can and can’t do certain things like hanging out with friends and family. But it all works out in the end and you learn to love the crazy unstable life you have.

Social media is not always detrimental to our face-to-face interactions with strangers. I think social media can give us an insight to people before we meet them so maybe we can judge whether they are worth our time or not. Now the downside to that is that people can always hide behind a screen and not be who they say they are on social media. So, we have to be careful with that, but social media can be a good thing. Some people do go a little overboard with it and will argue and fight through social media when they would never say or do the same things if they were face-to-face with that person. Social media is not all bad though in this day and time. There are positives and negatives to it just like there is with everything else.
