agree or disagree

I agree with that statement. I agree with that because if there was not any TV to watch children would not be in the house all the time watching television or playing video games. Kids would be outside more and exerting more energy then they do now. Also if we unplugged all the TV sets in America then there would be no distractions for the children from doing their homework and studying. They would put more time and effort into their school work because there would be less distractions. When I was in elementary school there would be this contest and all the kids in the school would have to unplug their TVs for a week. Once I turned my TV off for a week i played outside more with my friends, was not always laying around, and I put more effort into my homework. This happened with all the kids that participated in the contest. So I do agree that if we unplug all the televisions in America that children would go outside and play more, be healthier, and more educated.

power of advertisement

I feel that advertisement is very powerful. When ads have famous people in them such as singers, actors, actresses, and athletes people are drawn to that product because since the famous person uses it they want to also. Also when ads target a certain gender, race, or age group they grab their attention by using stuff that interests them. For women the advertise pretty and fit women to sell products and for women to want to lose weight. Products can definitely get sold by the way they advertise the product. They have to get things that will grab peoples attention and that with interest the age group, race, or gender they are targeting.

why I am at WSU

I chose Wright State University because I want to major in nursing. Wright State has a great nursing school. Also Wright State is close to home. I am really close to my family and I was scared to leave home. Going to Wright State I get to live at home still. Saving money is a big deal in my family and since I get to live at home I am saving a bunch of money. My sister is also a student at WSU so it makes it much easier for me to adapt to a new school while having my sister there. I have many jobs that I do during the school year such as coaching cheerleading, working at the community center, and baby-sitting and I would not be able to do these things if I did not go to a college where I could live at home. So far I am really enjoying myself at Wright State and commuting is working out and I am adapting to the change very well.

Forever Young

The well known song Forever Young produced by hip-hop artist Jay-z is a memorable song for me. Forever young is memorable because my whole senior year our quote was "Forever Young." My senior class was extremely close and always got along. Everyone was devastated to go off to college and leave each other and high school. We all wanted to stay "Forever Young."This song definitely brings back memories, because during my high school graduation while we processed out we walked out to Forever Young. Every time I hear the song on my ipod, a random Cd in my car, or the radio it makes me sad and want to cry. This song will always remind me of my senior year and bring back many great memories.

Cheerleading

I have been a cheerleader all my life. But now since i have begun college i have had to stop cheerleading. This is because i can not tumble and wright state requires tumbling and stunting for the cheer squad. I love to dance and cheer, so i was very upset when i was finished with my last season. I decided since i could not cheer at wright state that that was not going to stop me. So I am now helping out the Jv cheer squad at my high school. I get to make up their cheer and chant. I also get to make up their dance which I love doing and put their music together. Every Tuesday and Thursday I go to my high school and at 3:15 for practice which ends at 5:00. While at practice I teach them the dance i made up and also the cheer and chant. I also help them with chants that they do wrong and I perfect everything they do. I condition and do jumps and kicks with them. Every Saturday I go to their football games at 10:00 whether they are home or away. I really enjoy coaching the Jv cheer squad. I have been told that they all look up to me and are very happy that I am their coach and make up their dances, chants, and cheers and when I heard that it made my day!
