Who do you look up to in life? Why? What have they done to help you or guide you?
In my life I look up to a meteorologist with the name Reed Timer. Reed Timer is a storm chaser as well as a meteorologist, he has help fellow and upcoming meteorologists by making meteorology more popular in the United States. He has guided me because when I think that I might change what I would like to be, his storm chasers bring back that passion I have to become a meteorologist.

Tell me about the global issue you selected yesterday. Briefly restate your paragraph from yesterday.
The global issue that I have chosen is ecoterrorism. Ecoterrorism is a very important and very threatening issue that we have to face and attempt to control on a daily basis. Ecoterrorism is terrorism such as vandialization, kidnapping for awareness of a cause, and the use of chemicals to hurt or kill people. Although these people may be fighting for a good cause, they end up injuring many and even killing people to get their point across. Ecoterrorism may seem minuscule, but in reality it is just as important as the generalized terrorism that we are all familiar with.

If you could pick one issue in the world to fix or change what would it be and why?
The one issue I would choose would be animal abuse.The reason I chose this topic is because all three of my dogs are rescues. I think that it is very important that we not only take care of our species, but also the animals that share the earth with us. My dog Roary was left in a trash bag on the side of the highway, we didn't find him but we adopted him from the shelter that saved his life. Our dog Sampson was left on the side of the road as well, and my mom got a call from the school saying there was a dog, she immediately picked him up. My last dog is a Petland dog,Harper, as many know Petland is very cruel to the animals such as:not letting them out, letting them fight over food, little amounts of food, and little amounts of water. Our family wouldn't be the same without them in our lives. Helping the animals that not only need a home, but a person to take care of is an easy job, we can all help.

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 making a commercial about a very important cause. They make these to try and provide awareness for certain problems around the world. A PSA that I have seen before is the Mesothelioma commercial about soldiers trying to get medical attention after they have served. Also I have seen a PSA about Unicef, helping starving children who have malaria stay alive, and be able to fight to stay alive. These PSA's are there to provide those victims with a sense of compassion and help. The money or time donated to helping these people is very little, so many say,"Why not help a child by giving them $0.50 a day?" or," help this soldier recover after they have just defend our country."

My three day weekend consisted of working on the massive amount of homework I received on Friday, which made Monday and part of Saturday become a day full of studying and filling out the mass amount of worksheets. Besides working on homework I had some friends come over and went shopping together, which is always fun. My sister was home from college and this was her last weekend so we got coffee and watched the Olympic qualifiers. To end her day in Overland Park we ventured to First Watch for a wonderful breakfast. It was ultimately a good weekend!

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? Explain.
What I have learned about Google Drive is that it saves automatically and it can be shared with whom ever and wherever. The presentation is just a little bit different, it has differences such as not being able to format pictures or have many different transitions. I like Google Drive because i don't have to fret about if i saved my presentation all the way or not, it will always be saved. It is also convenient because if you have Gmail you can view your presentation, as well as if you have Chrome. I find that this is very helpful especially on the go for mobile phones. The only problems I have had with it is formatting my photos, otherwise I feel that it is better than PowerPoint. I feel it allows you to do much more than PowerPoint.

Tell me if you agree with this statement and then explain why or why not. "Images on the internet are 'free game' - if someone posted I should be able to use it."
I think that the images on the internet are not free game for presentations or for any use of public publication. You can only use them if you cite the source correctly and give them credit for your publication. Citations are used for many school projects, but many also be used for personal projects or for blogs, such as our blog. To be able to use a credible photo source, you need to be able to represent that person's art or object of focus in a legal manner.

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!
I would like to learn more advanced ways to use my skills from computer applications, so that I can feel more confident when I go into the business world. Not only do I want to get better at using my computer, but I want to be able to find other programs that will make my projects more interesting. I think that blogger will be a great way to put myself out there in the world, but also a great way to learn many new things and information. I have never been good with computers, but once I have help learning about them, it is a breeze. I would like to be able to gain information about the programs and the uses of those programs. I think that learning about the internet and programs will aid me, due to the fact that our country is becoming more involved with technology.
