news comment week 10

The news of a farmer dead after a cow rammed the farmer repeatedly into a fence. It is just funny that this kind of news would be something, but it is a thing that is put into the news. I laughed when i heard this i can understand this being news in a small farming town that a man died from a farm animal. it is strong new to be hearing but the strange news is the news that everyone wants to hear about and know what was going on and why. i find that the cow story was something that the New York Post of that Fox News would talk about this but it is a good way to get viewers attentions and make them want to know more about what the story is and have them look at other stores they have and what else they have so that they come back to the news people. i still think that is is funny they there was a cow story and why is a 71 year old man working with cows and is not staying home.http://nypost.com/2017/10/26/farmer-dead-after-cow-rebels-against-him/

Science scavenger Hunt (national geographic)

Where has our little orange, white, and black striped friend Nemo gone off to.

In the National Geographic magazine talks about how the climate change is weakening sea anemones. With the climate change weakening the anemones it cases them to expel tiny symbioses, things that keep them alive and lend them color. With the loss of this they are bleaching the ocean.

When bleaching happens it stresses clown fish out and they simply stop laying eggs which causes a fall in the fish population. Along with the bleaching the sea is absorbing excess amounts of carbon dioxide a process known as ocean acidification because of this it scrambles up the younger clown fishes’ brains. Ocean acidification effects the fishes’ ability to see, hear, and smell. This confusion can often lead them to swim to their prey instead of away. End result: they die more often then not.

The cause of all this is the loss of not only ocean plant life and the clown fish but many for ocean animals and their homes.

Student Success Paper 2 (Final)

Student Success is an important Program to Freshman that just could not reach the college requirements and helps the to attend school.

Student Success is a program that Morningside college has that was made to help kids who could not reach the requirements to attend school. The program picks a handful of students that want to go to college. This program helps those students getting in to the things of college and helps with there classes. They have meeting with the Student success adviser, Andre Mcwell the coordinator and adviser for this program.

“Student success is a student adapting to a new envierment in and out of class ant learning what is going to take to be successful in this envierment,” Mcwell said is he is helping them to be ready for college all that is coming with college. “My job is mentoring incoming freshmen and assenting them with there transition form high school to college academy and socially.”

It’s important because it helps those students to get in to the grove of college and I asked if the program was important to Mcwell and he said “yes, I believe it is good because it is in aa program that in the students use it to make their transection smother and sets them up for the next three years of college.” Mcwell knows that this program is good for the school and the students because kids in student success is higher in graduation then that of normal freshmen.

I talked with a student who was in the program Zue Alvarado said “the program helped me interact with other students given the fact that I had gone to a catholic school from pre-k to high school.” She also thinks that it is and good for students to be in it if you do not think you are reedy for college.

The students that are in the program right not say that it is helpful and it is a good way to make friends. One student from Chicago Isabella Rico said “since I live far away and do not know where I am at this program helped to know what is in Sioux City and what this is the program helped me to understand how school is going to be and helps me to understand how school works.” She says that it did help her transistor and help with being far away and helped with homesickness.

The student success program is a great thing from what I have seen and it helps students to get to know and understand what College life is like and how to be successful in it.

News Comment week 8

President Trump has been saying that he supports the LGBT community by saying that he likes them and wants to protect them that people are people. He talks about how he supports  them and that he would be friends with them and higher them, but then one of his workers tell one that wanted to work for Trump no that he could not work for the presented. So what dose that say is our president of united state really support them or is he just saying that for people to like him and support him. Yes he allowed June to be LGBT month and add the Q to LGBT community so that it is LGBTQ community. But we all want to know is where does Trump really stand on this dose he support the or dose he just want the support to make himself look good in the public eye.

Student Success article 2(draft)

Student success is a program that Morningside college has that was made to help kids that could not reach the requirements to attend school. The program picks a hand full of students that want to go to college. This program helps those students getting in to the things of college and helps with there classes. They have meeting with the Student success adviser. His name is Andre and he it the coordinator and adviser for this program.

I asked Andre some questions about this program and what he thinks student success it to him. He said “student success is a student adapting to a new envierment in and out of class ant learning what is going to take to be successful in this envierment.” This meaning is he is helping them to be ready for college all that is coming with college. Asking abut what his job is as a student success adviser he told me “my job is mentoring incoming freshmen and assenting them with there transition form high school to college academy and socially.” Being one of his students that he helped in this program I beloved he did just that. I made friends and had an essayer time transition to college.

An impotent question that I asked was if he thought this was a good program for the students. He told me “yes, I believe it is good because it is in aa program that in the students use it to make their transection smother and sets them up for the next three years of college.” He knows that this program is good for the school and the students because kids in student success is higher in graduation then that of normal freshmen.

I talked with a student who was in the program Zue Avocado said tam the program helped me interact with other students given the fact that she had gone to a catholic school from pre-k to high school. She also thinks that it is and good for students to be in it if you do not think you are reedy for college.

The students that are in the program right not say that it is helpful and it is a good way to make friends. One student from Chicago Isabella Rico said “since I live far away and do not know where I am at this program helped to know what is in Sioux City and what this is the program helped me to understand how school is going to be and helps me to understand how school works.” She says that it did help her transistor and help with being far away and helped with homesickness.

The student success program is a great thing from what I have seen and it helps students to get to know and understand what College life is like and how to be successful in it.

news comment week 7

The Las Vegas shooting was and is a big thing that has been going on right now and we all want to know what was wrong with the shooter. He was rich and was not in the army and was 64 years old and did not fit the age group for a mass murderer in the eyes of the law. They will not let out and mental illnesses given FAA laws on that. what we want to know is what would make someone do that when they have not problems and seem to have a good life. I don’t know what he was thinking and no one who know him his family or girlfriend know of why he would do that. People think that it was a form of a tarorest attack but how knows. All i want to know is why he did this the article told us about him and what his family know about him but we need more and we want to know more.

Media Comparison

The media comparison that I am do is over the Las Vegas massacre from The Washington Post along with the video at the top of the story. The two talked about the shooting they both talk about the shooting and what happened and what was happening and what happened to the people at the Garth Brooks consort. The thing is that the differences with the two of they one tells you more and the other just gives you brief info. The video shows live video of what the people where seeing and hearing. They had a few videos for people at the consort and what they saw when everyone was running for cover and trying to get away form the shooting. There were a few news reporters asking people what was going on after everything was all clear. The video gives us a brief understanding of what was happening and there is emotion in it seeing the people on the ground the scared and crying faces and the sound of the screaming, crying, and the sound of the gunshots. That all makes it so much more real to me.

The article has more facts and goes deeper into the story with facts and how the killer was and all the people that where hurt and those that where killed. It tells us that 58 where killed and 515 where injured. Just herein those numbers let us know what was the real damage. They talkie about the number of guns he had with him and what he used to shoot at everyone. The story also tells us that he had killed himself before swat could get to him. This two forms of news are very impotent to us they both have a good us to them and help us understand better. With they two forms of news I have a better understanding of what the shooting was really like and how bad it relies was for not just us but for the people that where there.

Observation Exercise

A place I like to be on the Morningside Campus is the top floor of the library in the back comer rooms. My fevered room is the one where you walk in and you tack a right. Its in between the book shelves. The books are filled with many mythology books and they are my favorite books to read. Even though it is scorned by bookshelves and wall there is a window so it lets in light and makes it feel more open.

The smell of it is what you would expect it smells like old books. I love that smell it is calming and relaxing. No one really knows about that back corner because it is so hard to find and secluded form everyone. I fond it last year while looking for a mythology book for a paper for one of my classes. Ones I fond that spot I know that this would be my place to go for doing homework and just chilling and tacking a brake form the outside world.

The library is quiet but there is some nose but up there is is dead quiet and I love it. The place allows you to think and the nice gray and blue comfy chairs help to. There is a four-person gray table and there is enough room so that I can spread my things out. The chairs are squishier and comfy and allow you to lean back on them.

The secret corner in the top floor of the library is my place to be if you can not find me in my room or with my friends I am there just relaxing and loving life.

Alex Watters interview

Alex Watters. A First Year Adviser, member of the city counsel, inspiring book writer and so much more.

Watters is a First Year Adviser at Morningside College, a college that he himself attended and graduated from. The first thing you see when you meet him is this man is in a wheel chair, and is paralyzed. His first couple weeks of his college life he and some of his friends where hanging out at the lake and he had jumped into a show part of the water and landed wrong. After that his life changed forever. His disability may have changed his life forever but he did not let it bring him down he is still moving around. As he said “I find it funny that I’m paralyzed, but I can’t sit still. Get it ironic right.”

Watters life changed after he had his accident and it changed his life goals. He says that “goals should change as you grow.” And for him they have he has changed his goal in life has changed with him and his new experiences and life choses.

He wishes to write a book about his life and how it had changed him for the better. The title he wishes for his book to be is ‘living the dream. (not just the one I imagined)’ that’s total is perfect for his life he his living the dream just not what he planed with everything that changed in his life and how new things had happened.

Whit his life and all the changes that happened for the accident we all would wonder what he would be doing if it did not happen. Would he still be an adviser at Morningside College or would he be more? When asked this question the first thing he did was scoff and say “Not a chance in hell.” So with that answer people asked what he would be doing. He had three things plan if none of that happened. He’s main focused was on golf, money, and girls and to teach people golf. After all, when your 18 you are self consumed.” And he is right that, that is what we all think about we are consumed in our own problems. But things changed for him.

Whit the change in his life he decided to help people and have the ability to make a difference in one’s life. He had known he wanted to do that when he first started to learn how to everything all over again. The first thing he lead was how to put a shirt on. It was hard and difficult he said “lowest point had in relishing I child not do it.” With that his knurs were there the whole time to pick him up and encore him to try again. With that he knows he wanted to help people and now he is an Adviser and a member of the city counsel.

Alex Watters may not have had what he was planning on doing with his life but his life changed and with that his plan and who he is and what he doses for everyone.
