Journal - What is creating an outline for a paper important? Do you think it helps you personally? How would you prefer to outline a paper - pen and paper or an online tool? Is there a different way you know if that would prefer to organize your thoughts?
What makes a outline important is it plans everything out and it easily organizes all the thoughts that you have regarding the topic. Personally, I think that they don't help me as much as they should. If given a choice I normally don't use them, whether or not that is the right choice I have not figured that out yet, but I haven't found anything that it would help me more to make the outline. However, when I do make the outline I like using a paper one better. I prefer this way the most because I am not that big of a fan of doing everything on the computer, after a while it will just drive me crazy when the computer will start to run slowly. Plus, when doing research going from window to window drives me nuts. I also like the paper because, for me, it goes quicker. Other than that I don't have a different preference when organizing the information.

Journal - Tell me about your weekend. Where did you go? What did you do?
I would say that I had a pretty productive weekend. On Friday I had a team volleyball sleepover. I thought that it was really fun, because the girls house that we went to was really big and had a pool that we used. We also watched a really cool movie, "Now You See Me," I thought that the tricks and the and everything else was one of the coolest movies that I had ever seen. On Saturday and Sunday I had a soccer tournament. We played two teams a day. Throughout that whole tournament we went undefended and only had one goal scored on us all weekend. For the remainder of the day on Sunday I worked on a science project for around four hours and have yet to finish it still, though I hope to do so today. Overall, I would say that I had a very exciting and entertaining weekend.

Journal - Who do you look up to in life? Why? What have they done to help you or guide you?
The person that I looked up to in life is my sister. The main reason that I looked up to her is because she has always looked out for me and helped me. I know that she always has my back when something goes wrong. She is a good role model to me. I think that she will always do the right thing and influences me when that situation comes to me. I also looked up to her because she is the person that I want to become. Mainly, I just know that she will always be there for me when I need her help, and that she will guide me to do the right thing.

Journal - What is good email etiquette and why is it essential in the "real" world? How can having good email etiquette put you ahead?
Good email etiquette is using correct grammar and being polite and respectful throughout the whole email. It is essential in the real world because you want to give a good first impression. Then it might urge the company or person to want to help you or grant you your request, ect. If you are in the job format, your boos would want to to be polite to him so you can keep your job, or maybe get the job/interview for the job. It can put you ahead by making you more successful in the business world or the world of people. it mainly just get you a step higher than the next person that will come around.

Journal - If there was one big global issue in the world that you could fix, what would it be? A cure for cancer? Save the rain forest? Stop pollution? Think about it and then write about it. Why would you choose that specific issue?
If I could fix one global issue I would help all the animals that are near extinction or ones that are extinct. I would choose that because I really like animals, and they are something that I think makes the human life a lot better. Another reason is that animals are the closest thing to humans, and think that they should get the chance to be saved, as we would do for our own kind. There are a lot of things that we use animals for, for testing, love, and just to be with and care for. But if animals, like Pandas, are going extinct we won't have that fun animal around anymore, forever. The other option I decided not to pick, because they don't affect me in anyway yet. I don't have any connection to the other ones yet, but with animals I like them a lot and want to keep them around. That is way I would help the animals.

Journal - On Friday we discussed Public Service Announcements. In your own words tell me what they are and what their purpose is. If you could create a PSA what would your topic be? Why?
A PSA is something that people do, as in a speech or announcement, to voice an opinion and get no business profit out of it. If I had to create one I would make it on illegal drug use. I think that it is a growing issue and is one of the topics I would have one of the most opinionated speeches on. I would also chose that as my topic because people are being effected by it in a bad way and is an issue that we would need to address.
