Yasmin's Blog

      Do you guys remember the talk our parents would give us about being safe on the internet when we were younger? My parents would give me and my little brother the talk almost everyday to remind us about the dangers surrounding the internet. At first it just seemed like a pointless conversation to have, but now with so many young people going missing, I thank my parents.            At some point we have all been in the same position where we talk to people without really knowing them online. Maybe we met them through a game, Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook. Sometimes we think of it as nothing, but what if people came across a predator without realizing it. A case that stood out to me was Alicia's, the young girl who was lured and abducted by an online creep. This case kinda freaked me out because Alicia lived in the same city as majority of us. I remember seeing so many of her posters around the city.   Alicia lived here in Glendale, A...

        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 ...

                  We're only about to be on month three of this new year, and already so much has happened. This blog entry is just a little recap of what's been going on so far, or what's going. So far there's been a lot of chaos especially since we are still being impacted by a pandemic.        As we can see from the map, Ukraine has a big massive border to the east side with Russia. Even though you can't really see it, to the west side is Europe. Back in the seventh hundreds the Russian empire was massive, it even controlled several countries like Poland for example. It all came to an end eventually. Certain Russians like Putin for example, love the idea of the Russian Empire. For some weird reason people obsessed with that idea still consider many of those European countries that were part of the Russian Empire to be Russian. That includes Ukraine. Despite the fact that Ukraine is its own independent country with ...

            What a world we live in today. Nowadays it just seems like finding an article that talks about a person like the president can be difficult. Slanted New/Reports can be described as another form of being biased towards something or someone, to make that person or  situation seem bad. It's an effective way to catch and make a new type of audience.      An example I came across was when CNN covered a story on  President Donald Trump allegedly attacking African American professional football players for being "African Americans". Although he did call out the NFL players it had nothing to do with their skin color. He called them out simply because along with him, and lots of people around the nation felt like kneeling at the time was a sign of disrespect towards people who are currently serving and served. Why were the players kneeling? At the time racism was at its peak. Kneeling or standin...

         No doubt Arizona's weather can be extremely crazy. Lately we have been experiencing chilly, to really windy to warm weather.  Luckily we didn't have to experience other people's troubles. In some places people saw over ten inches of snow. Making it hard and difficult to travel. Driving around snow can be extremely dangerous. Why? Each year over  100 people loose their live trying to do simple things to survive the harsh weather. Which is why no matter the weather you have to be safe.           Even though people think that living in the cold isn't bad at all, sometimes warm weather isn't bad. Throughout the spring time, the weather here can literally be called perfect. But when it comes to the actual summer time that's a completely different story.  During the summer time, temperatures here can reach up to 120 degrees. Making it difficult for people to even walk out of their homes, and making it dangerous for lots...

  When I initially heard about blogs in class for the first time, I was not too intrigued. I just thought of it as a place for adults who have their whole life figured out, to talk about their experiences. But I was proved wrong. There's so much to a blog. People can talk about literally anything, at anytime.      If you're into movies and shows like most people. Tv Fanatic Girl aka Amy's blog has many great reviews. She talks about so many shows available on Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max etc. She provides trailers and a lot of background information about the shows for her viewers. Not only that but something that caught my attention and probably of many others, is that she includes a pros and cons section about the shows. The layout of her blog is interesting because she includes lots of pictures and statics. The purpose of Amy's blog is to inform readers about so many shows available. With Covid-19 going around, and lots of people having to quarantine her blog is a great...

                     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 w...
