P1: T.V

For our next blogs we were given the topic television to talk about.  We can talk about if we watch TV or not, our favorite show, and/or we can talk about the positives and negatives about television. I am going to start off by saying yes I do watch T.V.  My house has a total of 5 televisions throughout the home. In my room I have a 32 inch Samsung. I always watch television throughout the day and always watch T.V right before bed. I usually spend at least 2 hours watching T.V throughout the day. I watch many different shows and stations. My favorite channels would have to be ESPN, MTV, SPIKE, Discovery channel, and the History channel.  Some of my favorite shows would have to be Jersey Shore, Swamp People, American Guns, Man vs. Wild, deadliest catch, and Surviving the cut. I really like to watch a lot of the new shows because I know a lot of people watch them.  Television has a lot of positives and a lot of negatives with it. First of all, T.V has been viewed as positive because it is a source of mass media. You can pass on an important message to millions of people throughout the world. Another positive of television is that it gives millions of people jobs and T.V produces a lot of money. However there are negative impacts with television. One reason why television has been viewed as negative is because kids are watching too much television and it is affecting their ability to read. Kids are watching too much television instead of doing there school and the changes in their grades are noticeable. I really like television and I believe everyone should have one. Watching  T.V is perfect when you are bored  and have nothing to do.

01: CNN

For our next blogs we have to find an interesting current event article and we have to write about it. The different websites that we can use is CNN, ESPN, ABC, Fox, NPR, or Rolling Stones Magazine, etc. I have decided that I was going to do an article on CNN. I choice this website because I found that they have a lot of good articles to choice from. I wanted to do an article based on the space shuttle that is being retired. I choice an article named for 747, transporting a Shuttle Is No Heavy Burden.  This week a Boeing 747 carried the space shuttle on top of its plane on its way to retirement in a Washington Museum. NASA needed a way to carry the Space shuttle because a space shuttle cannot fly when it leaves orbit. The space shuttle weighed 488,000 pounds but the Boeing 747 can carry up to 800,000 lbs. it was a sight to see for people in Washington DC. When I saw the picture in the newspaper I was really shocked to see that because I didn’t expect to see a space shuttle on top of a huge plane. I wish I would have been able to see the shuttle on top of the plane because that is a once in a lifetime sight. However if you missed this you can see another space shuttle on its way to retirement. The Enterprise will be flown from Dulles International Airport in Virginia to its new home on board the USS Intrepid which is a retired aircraft carrier floating museum in New York City. I really enjoyed reading this article because it talks a lot about the space shuttle and the Boeing 747 that carried it to retirement. This was a successful mission and was a sight to see that thousands of people witnessed.

02: College

For our next blogs we have to read an article about college and we have to talk about it. We have to write our response based of this article and what we thought about it. We also have to write about our plans for after High School whether or not if we go to college.  I was shocked to find out how many people are living in poverty throughout the world. I find it crazy that a college graduate makes so much more money than someone who doesn’t finish high school. I found that the difference in income is 80% I liked how this article showed the difference in amount of money that you will make at each different college degree.  I have decided that after high school I am going to go to GCC for 2 years. I plan on going to get an associate degree in Business. I want to go to college because I want to earn a degree. I want one because it will be easier to find a good paying job with a lot of benefits. I plan on going for business because my sister went to GCC and took up business. I figure I will do the same as her because she could help me with all of the work. I have no idea where I want to work or what type of work that I want to do.  With all of the financial aid that I will receive it won’t be that much money for me to go to school.  I am really looking forward to graduating high school and moving on in life and go to college. I am excited to start college because I want to know what it is like and how different it is than high school. I believe that I will be well prepared for college.

03: Music

For our next blogs we have the choice to talk about anything we would like to write about. I am going to write about music. To me music is everything in my life and I am always listening to it. To me a life without music would be boring and dull. I like all different types of music but my favorite would have to be rap or hip hop. My favorite rapper would have to be Lil Wayne or Wiz Khalifa. Some other artists that I really like are Wale, Mac Miller, Drake, and Rick Ross.  Last year I went to Lil Wayne’s concert at Darien Lake Theme Park. Lil Wayne came with Far East Movement and Rick Ross.  I really enjoyed the concert because I had a lot of fun and the artist put on a great show. I went to many concerts before but my favorite was Lil Wayne. I am going to a concert April 28^th in Cortland. I am going to see Wiz Khalifa.  I am looking forward to this concert because I enjoy Wiz’s music and I know it will be a lot of fun. Another concert that I want to go to this year is June 8^th. Drake is coming to Darien Lake Theme Park along with Waka Flocka, Wale, and 2 chainz. I really want to get tickets to this concert because I really like all of them artists. Music has always been a huge part of my life because it puts me in a better mood. I am always listening to new songs and new artists. Throughout my life I been to many concerts of all different types of music but my favorite types of concerts would have to be rap concerts. Rap concerts are a lot of fun and they are way different than any other kind of music.

04: Parents

For our next blogs we have to write about our mothers or our fathers. We have to start off by saying my mother is/was or we can start of by saying my father is/was.  I am going to start off by saying my mom is my hero. My mom always makes sure I have everything I need and make sure I do the best I can do in everything I do. My mom always made sure I had everything I needed for school and she always made sure that I was ready for my day. My mom always puts me before her. My mom is someone I can always talk to and I am thankful to have a mother that cares as much as her. My mom always makes sure that I do 100 percent in everything I do and wants me to succeed in life as much as possible.  For the next part of the blog I am going to write about my father. My dad is someone I can look up to. My dad always makes sure I do everything with 100 percent. My dad has taught me a lot in my life and I am thankful that he taught me everything. My dad has always taught me right from wrong and he always makes sure I do what is right. I always look up to my dad because he has been very successful in life and he works hard to provide money to pay for everything. My dad is a hard worker and works a lot to make sure we have enough money to pay the bills. I am very thankful for the parents I have because I know they want the best for me and they provide me with everything I need in life to be successful.
