This picture is example of how technology is advancing; it a new way to charge you devices without all the hassle of chords and finding a socket to plug it into. I am in-between on the decision of whether or not all this technology is good or bad for us. It’s good for us because you don’t have to have a million things in your home and you can have only four or five that does pretty much everything the others in the house taking up space can do. I fell it is bad because the technology in the world now is making people lazy and always depending on technology. For example kids use to have fun outdoors exploring the world and being active but now and days all most kids want to do is play video games and be on the computer. My little cousin is 8 years old and she is very smart. she knows how to create social networking account such as Twitter, Facebook and, MySpace. When I use to babysit her she always wanted to play outside you couldn’t get her to come in the house for anything not even a drink of water. Now that she has learned how to create such accounts and how to work a computer now when she comes over she goes straight to the computer and you can’t get her outside for nothing.  I feel as though not all technology is good for us. As cited by Cristen Conger from Discover News “Rechargeable batteries can contain metals that may be harmful to the environmental if not disposed of properly,” said Carl Smith, CEO of Call2Recycle, a rechargeable battery collection program operated by the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation. “So, it’s better to keep them out of landfills.”

Throughout life you encounter a lot of friends some fake and some real but the majority of them are fake. There are only 4 people that I can call my real friend. Never have they talked about me behind my back and did anything to hurt me. When I came to Wright State University I found out that people I went to school with in elementary goes here. I thought we were all cool but that quickly changed. I began to notice how they fake they act towards me but expects me to be a real true friend with them so all but one I stopped hanging with them. The girl who I continued to hang out with seemed like she was a true friend and that there was no fakeness about her. Until one day my roommate tells me that she was talking about me behind my back to her and it wasn’t just one time. I began to distance myself from others and only hang with my roommate who is the realest person I can hang with up here at Wright State. After all those incidents I realize that I don’t need friends to be happy. I continue to do me and the more they hate the more it makes me want to succeed to make them hate even more.  

After watching the video “Killing Us Softly” I felt as some of the ads the lady over analyzed. There were some of the ads that really didn’t make sense to me like the ads were the women in lying on top of an animal seductively. In most of the ads you find the women half naked. Women should have to be half naked to sell a product. Women are degraded and seen as sex objects most of the time in ads.  I think the advertisers believe that the more sexier the person in the ad look the more it will sell. I must admit that ads were a man is half way naked makes me pay more attention to it rather if the man had clothes on and was dressed nice. What disgust me about ads is when it looks as the women and/ or men in the ads looks as if they are performing sexual acts. Why must a women be laying on top of a man without any clothes on just to sell a pair of pants.

I feel as though people should not be so happy about Osama bin Laden  death because his people are probably plotting on America as we speak. I know he has done bad and he deserved what he got but I feel as though people should be on national television rejoicing in his death. I heard about Osama bin Laden death from Facebook. So as I get on Facebook I see people status saying things about how happy there are that Osama is dead. It’s funny how people believe ok now that Osama is dead that gas prices will go down. When hearing about the death of Osama bin Laden I was neither happy nor sad; I was just like ok he dead now and went on about my life.

I am a Facebook user I check my Facebook every day when I wake up and before I got to bed. I believe I am addicted I have Facebook linked to my phone so I can always check it no matter where I am at. I created me a Facebook before Facebook was even popular and never really used it. Once it became popular and everyone began to use it I began to use mine and upload pictures. Ever since then I began to use my Facebook daily. Yes I believe that this type of social networking has become addicting. There are people that I am friends with on Facebook that stay on there all day every day. People life revolves around Facebook; some people put their life stories on Facebook. I don’t have as many friends on Facebook as others but I have quite a few; I have 353 friends on Facebook. I am not cautious of what I put on Facebook; I got into a fight with my boyfriend and start posting stats about him without mentioning his name. He knew it was about him but others was wondering who I’m talking about. Because of that it cost me my relationship with my boyfriend. I don’t think that employers should surf Facebook pages of potential employees to determine if they will hire them because if my employer did that I don’t think I would have been hired. Some risks and dangers of being a Facebook user is that your family members; others risks are spam and hackers. I like the idea of businesses and television stations having a Facebook to interact with its customers or viewers.

My major is biology and I chose that field to study because I was told by my teacher that I needed to get a bachelor in biology to become a pediatrician. Also I always wanted to take up biology in college. I love kids and kids seem to love me; my mother always told me that I should pursue a career where I deal with kids because I am great with kids. I always wanted to be a doctor since the age of 6. Qualities that pediatricians generally need are they must be friendly, personable, and approachable. Also they must learn to instill trust and faith in their young patients and the parents. I am a very friendly and happy person every time you come around me you will notice I always have a smile on my face. I was never a mean type of person. I feel as though I am a very personable person and that’s a strong quality that I have. Once I graduate I haven’t really thought about which medical school I wanted to go to. My plan is to research a lot of medical schools and then apply to them and out of the ones that accept me I will see where they are located and decide if that’s where I want to be. I eventually want to pursue my career out of state in like Miami or Florida but for now I would like to attend a medical school close to home and my job which is looking like University of Cincinnati medical school.

Why I chose to attend WSU?

When it came time to decide what college I wanted to attend I really didn’t have any in mind. I was a last minute person when it came to things. Towards the end of my senior year of high school my professional issues teacher told me “I need to be applying to some colleges because time is limited and its coming to an end.” As we discuss the steps I need to take for college I noticed that I have not done anything that I needed to do.  Wright state wasn’t my first choice or even at choice at all; I wanted to attend the University of Cincinnati or Northern Kentucky University. My ACT score was a 15 and I didn’t think that any college was going to accept me to be perfectly honest. After applying to a couple a colleges and Wright state not being one of the ones I applied to.  After getting denied from all the ones I applied to I received a catalog in the mail from Wright state and after looking over it and seeing what it has to offer. I see that they have my major and decide to apply and I wanted to get away from home and it was the perfect distance not too far and not to close. After applying and getting accepted I fill out my housing application and do everything else required by Wright state. I started winter quarter and will continue to be here until I graduate.
