American Football

My Wikipedia article is about American Football. American football is the most popular sports in the nation. You can start playing from the age of 8 till you go professional. Most people who play professional football usually play 10 years before they retire.

Sloppy and Neat people

I read a short essay that was written by Suzanne Britt and the title of her essay is Neat People vs. Sloppy people. There are two different types of people, a neat person and a sloppy person. Neat people are usually mean and uptight, a sloppy person is more laid back and chill. In her essay she tells us how neat people are lazier then sloppy people and how sloppy people are really not that sloppy as they seem. I consider myself with a "sloppy person" attitude but in all in all I'm really a neat person without having be a mean personality.  

Gay Marriage

My thoughts about gay marriage. I feel like everyone has that special someone in their life. That special person could be with the opposite sex, or the same sex. But at the end of the day I think that everyone should be with whoever makes them happy.   

My Wiki Topic

Since I don't have a major and I am undecided, I will talk to yall about my passion and what I love to do. I love to play and watch football. Football has been in my life ever since I was eight years old. Football has been an outlet for me and it has helped me through life. I know what you might be thinking, how can football help you go through life? Well the biggest thing that I've learned from football is that to never give up. Giving up and loosing is the easy part. Getting up and continue to fight your fight is the hard part. But you have to dig down deep and continue to fight because if you give up you will be giving up on life.    

Writers Voice

When you are writing a paper the writers voice is very important. In my blog post the writers voice is stuffy. The voice of the writer determines the mood of the paper and how the story is told.

Handle the reader in my Doc1

I handled the reader in my doc 1 by telling them the thesis it the begging of my paper. By doing that I got the readers  attention by telling them what my paper is about. 

The thesis

In my Doc1 article the thesis is in the beginning of my paper. The thesis basically tells you what you paper will be about.

Handling the reader

When you write you are connecting with the reader. Connecting with the reader isn't hard. In English we call it "hooking the reader" and that is where you get the readers attention. Once you have hooked the reader you have connected with the reader.

How you use writing as a tool of learning.

You use writing as a way of learning when you right down your ideas. Writing down your ideas helps you sort out what you are trying to think because in your head your mind and thought is jumbled up. Writing out what we think makes it explicit and we can deal with our emotions by sharing them to others.

Online Image Doc 1 topic.

I have learned that it is very important to have a professional online image because once you post something to the internet it is on there forever. Now a day if someone wants to find more about you they just type your name into Google and it tells them all about you. For instants, when you apply for a job the boss of the company will look you up to see if your online image is professional. Same thing if an organization wants to give you a scholarship. Depending on your online image it can either hurt your future or it can help you out and you have the opportunity to change that.     

My first few weeks of college

College has been great so far! I've met a lot of new people and I have even made a couple of new friends. Coming into college I was nervous because I didn't really know anyone  here, but it turns out that I have met a lot of cool people in this small town. I had to get use to the "country" life style because I am from metro Atlanta. Where I am from there are a lot of houses, stores, and  people. Cochran is the complete opposite. But I learned in the short amount of time I have been here is that everyone pretty much knows everyone and its a cool town.

What have I learned about Wikipedia? I learned that Wikipedia is an open source for anyone to go on and change and edit on a topic. It is actually easy! All you have to do is go to edit, type out what you want to add, and then click save changes. After you have done all of that, people are now able to read and review on your idea from all over the world.
