Entry #0 Intro

 

                   Hi welcome to my blog. First things first my name is Yasmin Arreola, I am about to be 19 years old. I am a first generation student in my family attending college. Super nerve-wrecking, the pressure really is on. I am pursuing my dream of become a mid-wife nurse. They basically work with babies and their moms. 

                         

                 Some of my interests are sports, I enjoy soccer a lot. I started playing when I was nine years old. I first started playing in a girl and boys team which was super fun and really competitive. I played throughout high school, but sadly had to stop when college started. I just didn't see myself playing soccer in college, and it's just too time consuming. Another interest of mine is playing video games. When I have free time, I like to play on the ps4 with my friends. It's always super fun with them, there's not a moment where I'm not laughing. We play a bunch of different games, so we never really stick to just one game.   

One of my biggest pet peeves is when people chew with their mouth open, it's just something that annoyed for the longest of time. It's also just disgusting.  



       
      My biggest goal in life is to buy my mom and dad their own house here in the United States. They have done so much for me, I will never thank them enough. Although dropping out of college sounds nice sometimes because it's just so stressful, I think about my parents. They didn't have to opportunities that I have. Another goal would be to travel, and discover new things and places.  I guess something that makes me unique is my creativity.

      Hey Yasmin, I really like how your blog looks. Same as you, I also want to buy my parents a house. I also want to travel everywhere in the world right now, but I can't because I don't have money and also because of school. If you read my blog, one of the fist pet peeves I mentioned were people chewing with their mouths wide open. I literally feel like smashing their head into a wall. It is the most annoying thing someone can do. I have tried playing video games and I am just so bad so I gave up. :)

Entry #9 Media

   Media is something that has me and most of you constantly looking at our phones whether we admit or not. First we start looking at our phones for a couple of minutes but then those minutes turn into hours. It's addicting no doubt. After a little bit of research I came across that apparently 4.62 billion people in the world now people use social media. Which is really mind-blowing.  Media sources can also really impact our view of the world. A term used to describe this would be gatekeeping. This basically refers to the fact that media controls the information we get, and therefore what we think about. Editors here contain lots of power because they basically decide what we end up hearing about therefore what we also think about.    Media is seen everywhere. It's like there's no escape. We see all different types of media everyday. They come our way in many different types of forms as well. They come in magazines, usually containing over like one hundred ads. Or that'

Entry #10 School Safety

Image
   We come to school almost on a daily basis to learn and to see our friends, let's be honest. Usually when it comes to school we think of it as a safe place. Lots of people think of schools as a safe zone because majority of schools are constantly being protected by police officers on campus. It came down to police officers having to be on watch on school grounds because of tragic events that have occurred in the past. Which is sad to think about. Are schools really safe? Even with measurements taken to protect students? Recently I came across a story that is truly devastating. Alycia Reynaga was a 15 year old who had her life planned ahead of her but sadly was cut short. This story truly hit me hard because I have a sibling who is the same age as her, and they're both freshmen in high school. She loved softball. In fact she was on the high school team, she was loved by her teammates and lots of people. Her community still remains disbelief.  She was murdered on school grounds

Blog Entry #5 Doug Ducey

        Ducey: Why Arizona needs more college grads               Hi welcome back, today's blog isn't going to be about the weather this time, or what has been going on with Russia and Ukraine, or Covid. Instead we are going to talk about a local news article that came out a couple of years ago called "why Arizona needs more college grads". When I was about to graduate high school there was no denying I was nervous. Simply because I didn't know if I wanted to continue my education journey. There were lots of factors that came to mind. I was probably not the only student who thought about financial problems, if college is even worth all the stress we were about to go through, what to major in, and so on.      Immediately at the beginning of the article, Doug Ducey made sure that we knew he was talking to his audience from a husband/father perspective, and not as an elected official. Simply to make a type of connection with readers, and make them understand that he
