(Blog #18) What is the primary purpose of college?

What is the primary purpose of college. The primary purpose of college for me is that I can get a better job than those who don't have a college degree. Also I'm learning new things in my career that I didn't know before and taking general class like math and writting has help me learn new things that I didn't know how to do and if i didn't choose to go to college I would have know clue how to do write paper or do math that I need for my career or any job that I want to work at. Another primary purpose is that not only am I doing what I love but I'm meeting new friends in my classes. Also by getting good grades every term and being able to pass my classes is getting  me close to gradutaing from college which is a great feeling. Becasue a lot of people told me don't plan on going to college you won't make it and guess what I have proved them wrong but I'm not just going to college to prove them wrong but because going into Early Childhood Education and getting my two year degree is my passion and my primary purpose of college for me. Also another primary purpose of going to college is to show others with disability that even though you struggle that nothing is impossible if you follow your heart and dreams.

(Blog #17) How did your previous educational experience prepare you for college?

How did my previous educational experience prepare you for college? When I started 8th grade a lot of my teachers would tell me over and over that in 9th grade that my grades started counting and that college will look what your grades your got and if you got any tickets and stuff. Also in 10th grade a lot of my class start teaching us a information that would help us in college. In high school they had a lot of different colleges come and talk to students about how to apply for college and what kinds of things that they would look for to see if we would be able to qualify for a college that we want to go to. In my English class we had to learn how to write college paper and what kind of stuff that Writting teachers would be looing for in our papers and how they would grade papers. I was really hard worker and I got really good grades and tried to get on the honor roll each term because I knew that it would look good on my transcript for college. I also work my butt off to graduate from high school so that I could get into college a lot easier but it was also a big accomplishement for me to graduate from high school. Also my counslers at the high school would talk to me every month to see how I was doing in my classes and if I need any help with any of my classes.

(Blog #16) Defend, refute or qualify the following statement Downloading music or movies without the permission of the creators is morally and ethically wrong.

I think that you should have to pay for dowloading music or movies because the creator who made them is losing money and it took them a long time to come up with the ideas that they did for the music or movie. I think that if you ask their permssion to download their stuff that it would be okay if they said yes but to download something with out permission is wrong becasue a some people will download music or movies and then they will try to miss with the person hard work and stuff and make it as their own but by people having to buy the music and movies that uselly don't try to make the music or movies their own and stuff. A lot of the times we think we won't get caught by not asking the creators for permission to download their stuff but what can happpen is that they find out and then you have to pay a big huge fine and go to jail and what ever deviced you used they will probley take it way and you won't get it back. so it makes more sense just to ask the creators unsteady of going threw a big mess and stuff. I have notice that now days that creators are making it were you can't download their stuff without permission because their music or movies say copy right and then it won't uselly let you downloaded to you r computer or where ever kind of device your tryig to downloaded it to.

(blog #15) What should America's role be in the world?

What should America's role be it the world? I think that America's role should is to try to get our selfs out of debt to other countries and then try to stay out of debt. I think that we could start making some of the clothes and toys that other country's make and send to us. We as Americans could do some research and what we would need to do to have our own factorys that make stuff than having China and other places making our stuff. It would give the oppourtiny to poeple that have loosed their jobs and are looking for jobs a chance to work again and support their family. Another role that Americans could do is by having the whole Untied States to recycel it would help with the trash on the grounds and also lower the grabbed that was tooken to the dumps. It would also help many americans if they were struggle to get money then they would have the opportuintie to go and recycel popcans and stuff and get money back. Their are a lot of places that do really incourage people to recycle and if americans want to then it like 1 cents per a popcan so to them its not worth their time. The last we as Americans can do is find ways of not wasting so much food and stuff their are many people out thier that are hungry that could use that food to help them.
