Blog 8: Final Blog
Wow the final blog! Summer came and went so fast its kind of frightening. Well I found this class and our blogging assignments very fun. I enjoyed meeting and getting to know my fellow classmates, you guys were all very friendly and I hope I'll see around the campus this coming fall semester. I don't think I'll continue blogging right now because its difficult for me to take time out of my day to write. I did find blogging entertaining though maybe I'll get back into it in the future when I'm not caught up in so many things. Thank you all who followed and commented on my post.
Blog 7: Preventing Youth Drug Use
Informing children about the dangers of drug abuse is an essential part of their rite of passage toward adulthood. For me personally I had 2 talks with my parents, one about the risks of sexual activity and the other about the dangers of drug abuse. Now that I'm older I really appreciate them taking time to honestly inform me and answer any questions that were on my mind. If I learned anything about drugs from my D.A.R.E. program in elementary school I wouldn't hesitate to ask my parents because they made me feel very comfortable speaking about the subject. When I do have children in the future I'll most likely do the same for them as my parents did for me. I'd create a caring and comforting atmosphere so they won't have any fear or hesitation of asking questions that they're having trouble understanding. I'd clear their confusion at an early age so they can perceive that substances, such as alcohol, can negatively effect a persons life and their goals. I'd also expose them to documentaries, books, and magazines that show what can actually happen if you become dependent on a substance. We are all exposed at least once in our life to drug use, whether its from friends, school, or a party. I believe its better to be informed than to know nothing about the consequences or what drugs actually are.
Blog 6: "You in 6 Words"
http://www.smithmag.net/sixwords/story.php?did=355394
For this blog assignment I decided to choose 6 words that I feel define me. Most of my friends have described me as highly motivated and ambitious in every task and activity I choose to do. I've also been told that I'm pretty modest and open-minded, because I'll take information and ideas from conversations and apply them to my lifestyle. I also find that many of my friends come and talk to me about whats bothering them because I listen attentively and give honest feedback. I found this activity a little difficult to come up with 6 descriptive words about myself, but with some help from friends it wasn't too bad. I chose the picture of this sign because I believe we all have the personal choice to overcome any problem in order to succeed.
