Week 8: Comments and Feedback

The feedback that I have been receiving on my stories have been really efficient in helping me become a better writer. A good amount of the comments have been positive and inspiring with some of the comments highlighting my creativity and plot of the story. Some other comments have been really helpful and make me focus on what I can improve on in the next story. I admit that I have some grammatical errors and misspellings that I have to work on and I wouldn't have caught the mistakes if not for the responses I have been getting. I think the WWW and TAG methods are really effective because it allows the readers not to sugarcoat their opinions about your story and actually listen to their input because they could have the missing element that will make your story become a story that will be used as an example for other classes to based their stories on. Outside of that, I feel that I have been connected with the other students in the class due to their blog posts because the way they constructed their blogs. The students sharing their hobbies, majors, and other things about them made me more comfortable in sharing details about myself in my introduction and blog.
                             
The reason why I chose this meme is that I love how the caption goes with a cat trying to open the door. It lets me know that anything I put my mind to do, I can accomplish it. It also lets me know that I should keep striving for my end goal even if it is difficult because it is attainable. It also reminds me of an expression an old co-worker told me: "Every No always leads to a Yes!"

Introduction to a Social Introvert

I am an Economics major/MIS minor and a cool thing about my major is that it is versatile so i could literally work in a lot of fields without having to attain a specific degree. I didn't really have a favorite class from last semester due to the workload/scheduling but if i had to choose then i would say that a class that i liked the most then it would have to be Economics of Discrimination because it broke down the economics of topics such as marriage and earnings and the costs of getting married and divorce. We also talked about wages and earnings between men and women regarding race.             My biggest accomplishment from last year was that i was able to pass my classes because i was in 3 Economic electives for my major and an MIS class so juggling the...

Week 12 Story: The Tale of O'Reilly

Image
There once was a man named O'Reilly who lived in the town of Apollonia with his wife, Meredith. They were living in the poorest section of the town and had spent days and nights wishing that money would fall into their lap. One morning before going to work, O'Reilly had awakened to the sound of a thud on the front door. O'Reilly then slid out of bed to see who or what has arrived on his porch and found an eviction notice before he could open the locks on the door. Meredith follows behind him asking O'Reilly what he is holding and he tells her about them needing to come up with money within a certain amount of days otherwise they will be put on the streets. "What are we going to do? It is almost time for winter and we cannot be without a place to stay," said Meredith. "I know, I know my dear. Hopefully, Mr. O'Boyle will be generous enough to grant me a raise for my birthday since I have been helping him around the shop for quite a spell," said...
