Increasing My Blogging Skills (1B)

From the research I did from the blogs I realized that all blogs are different. Some blogs have pictures and some have videos. Some people like to have links and quotes in there blog while others don’t. Even some blogs have multiple sections of the blog. I enjoyed reading tagans kitchen it was a colorful page with many pictures. The pictures were so good that they even made me hungry. Unlike rebeccas pocket I wasn’t interested in the page. It was plain boring and the page never caught my attention. Productive flourishing was very well put together. It looks like the creator of this blog is very into her page. She has many different links to click on to bring you to different pages. I like how she also had a video on her main page. From reading and researching these blogs I thought of how I should make my blog page. I didn’t want to make my page to complex. I thought that simple would be easier for me since I am not an experienced blogger. I didn’t want to have all these different links on my main page that lead to other blogs. I also decided to put pictures on my blog instead of videos. I decided on this because I realized that while I was researching different types of blogs I would look at every picture I saw but I didn’t take the time to go and watch every video. I also tried to make my page as colorful and pretty as possible to catch reader’s eyes. In my future blogs I hope to get more comfortable and am able to upgrade my page and hope that people reading my blogs enjoy reading them. When I blog in the future I realize that I have to use more exclamation points and quotes to keep the readers interested instead of making it seem like they are reading out of a text book.

Inquiry (1V)

Inquiry: an act of asking for information

Inquiry: (own words) going out of your way to find out something that you didn’t know before

The word Inquiry relates perfectly to Sonia Sotomayor in her memoir My Beloved World. Sonia had diabetes at a young age and realized that she needed to give herself insulin shots everyday to survive. Sonia had the inquiry to find out what she had to do to survive. Sonia practiced the shots on an orange so when she had to give them to herself she knew what to do. One word that I learned in my Math 107 class is the word causations. It means the act of causing something. We were talking about causations when we were learning about designed experiments and how people can control the outcome of some experiments. Another word that I have learned is multidisciplinary. This means combining or involving several academic disciplines or professional specializations in an approach to a topic or problem. This word relates to my Exercise science class because we were talking about how sports medicine is a multidisciplinary field related to physical activity and sport encompassing several disciplines relating to performance enhancement or health care.

The Steps To Becoming An Athletic Trainer (1I)

My professor is Matthew Rothbard his office is in Pelz gymnasium 009. His phone number is 203-392-6083 and his email address is rothbardm1@southernct.edu. I asked Mr. Rothbard multiple questions about the Exercise Science 158: Athletic Training Professional Practice class that I am in that takes place in pelz gymnasium from 11:10-12:00 on Wednesdays. One question that I asked him was if the class is about the physical aspect of athletic training or the knowledgeable part behind it? Mr Rothbard told me that the classes emphasizes on the responsibilities and the knowledgeable part of becoming an athletic trainer. He also told me that if I continue to keep studying athletic training my sophomore year that is when I would practice my physical skills of wrapping injuries and help rehabilitate athletes back to health. My second question that I asked my professor was if I needed to purchase a textbook? He answered back with telling me that he does not like to use text books and that if I already purchased one that I could return it.

The Next Chapter To My Life (1A)

College is just another chapter in my life. Going to college has been a goal that I have set for myself ever since I was a little girl. I have an older brother who wanted to become a Physical Therapist, attend and also play football at Sacred Heart University. As my older brother being my role model I wanted to also study Physical Therapy attend Sacred Heart University but I wanted to play on the softball team. This has been my goal ever since the seventh grade. Finally achieving this goal just with the school of my dreams is one of the best feelings I have ever felt. Now that I have reached my goal of going to college my next goal is to academically succeed while attending Southern Connecticut State University. Not only while I am trying my best to achieve the best grades I could receive but I wish to make friends that I will have for a long time. While living at home on Long Island my mom would help me out tremendously with schoolwork, laundry and cleaning my room. Now that I live two hours away from my family I am excited to be able to do everything on my own. College is forcing me to have to do things on my own, I realize that it may be a challenge at first but it is a challenge that I am willing to accept and am excited to mature and take on this next chapter of my life. While reading the syllabus for my inquiry class I thought to myself what exactly does inquiry even mean? Also while reading the syllabus’s for all my other classes I started to feel over whelmed and started to second guess myself asking myself questions like what if I don’t do good in this class, what if my professor’s don’t like me. I got extremely nervous for all of my classes but after experiencing my first day I realized that I just have to do my best and if I need help that it will always be provided for me. I wish that my college experience is one that I will not ever forget.
