Journal - Most students view siting work as 'a pain in the butt'. How do you feel about it? Is it necessary? When is it appropriate to cite work? What's the importance of it?
I'd have to agree that siting work is, in fact, 'a pain in the butt'. But, I do find it a necessary thing to do. It's necessary because if you don't cite where you got all of your information from, it can be considered cheating, especially if you copy word for word from a source. It's appropriate to cite sources in any type of project where you have to do research for information.

Journal - What is your favorite book, magazine, or publication? Why?
My favorite book is the Harry Potter Series. As a small child, my older brother decided to traumatize me with the gigantic spiders in the series that appear in the movies. But, as I grew older, I overcame the fear of the giant spiders and read the series. And dang, they are FANTASTIC. and magical.
I don't really read magazines much, unless they have entertaining pictures to look at. Then I find it enjoyable.

Journal - Do you enjoy writing? What kind of writing do you enjoy? Why is writing an essential skill in life? How will you use this skill in the future?
I enjoy writing on occasion, it usually just depends the topic. I don't really enjoy most of the stuff I have to write about in school. It's usually not something that interests me. Writing about what I think the blue curtains in some book really means usually get me more enthused to do anything but write. But when I have the opportunity to write about a topic that grabs my attention or a topic that I'm passionate about, I'm usually more interested in writing. I find it a very interesting way to find new information on a certain time. Writing is also a very important skill in life. It's not like you're never going to have to write again once you get out of high school or college. You will always need basic writing skills. They'll be important in whatever profession you end up going in to. Whether you need to write a resume or write an email to your boss or family member, it is key to know the basics of writing.

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?
Creating an outline for a paper is important for several reasons. For starters, it helps you to know your main points of your paper. Also, it helps you to be organized with all of you information in front of you. I do think that an outline helps me personally. It helps me write out my thoughts in an organized manner. I prefer to write out my outlines on paper or type them up in world. I never really use any online tools.

Journal - Tell me about your weekend. Where did you go? What did you do?
Well, my weekend didn't involve a whole ton. Friday night I worked and then went to my synoguage for Kol Nidre services with the family. On Saturday, I slept. It was fantastic. I also had the lovely opportunity of having to spend $107 on three new pairs of shoes for dance. Except that it wasn't lovely at all. It actually made me cringe a bit. Also, the Rawitch family moved up in the world with a new side-door fridge. I can't say I've ever been so excited as a fridge before. On Saturday night, one of my best friends dragged me to the One Direction movie that's out. I do not listen to One Direction. I'm not a huge fan of them. Yet I still went. And it was surprisingly somewhat entertaining. On Sunday I had the amazing opportunity of spending my entire day doing homework. Whata blast that was. I know, I live quite the life.

Journal - Who do you look up to in life? Why? What have they done to help you or guide you?
There's no one in my life who I really look up to and aspire to be like. As I've grown older I've noticed that those who we thought of as heroes in our childhood are human just like the rest of us, we all have flaws and all make mistakes. But, if I had to choose one person to look up to in my life it would most likely be my mother. While we've had rough times together she is always someone in my life who's been here for me no matter what. She's opened up many opportunities in my life that I wouldn't have if it weren't for her. She's also someone who has been through more than most people growing up and has stayed strong and been a good mother despite all of it. Even though there's not necessarily one person alone I strive to mirror my life after, I'd hope to have the strength in life that my mom does.

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?
Public Service Announcements are non-profit ads ran to inform the public about an issue or or idea that is prevalent throughout the community or even country. Some common topics of PSA's seen are ads about drug abuse, drinking, animal abuse, etc. All things that people would rather not like to see in their community. If I was able to create a PSA, I would choose to do one on the topic of animal abuse. Why you might ask? Because the PSA's already out about animal abuse make me sad and make me want to give all of my money away to the poor, sad looking animals, even though I can't. It's a topic that touches millions of peoples lives because they have their own pets and would never dare abuse them and is a cause people throughout the entire world support.
