HI!

The first charter of Virginia

The author of this document is Francis Newton Thorpe, in 1606. Since he was the one who crafted the idea of making Virginia with two cities, the document's viewers should have been for the leaders who were commanding the expedition, in order to establish a city. Because the leaders and important people of the expedition where the ones who were meant to see the document, it was written in a more serious tone, without the addition of humor. as for being persuasive, I liked specifically how he used the facts of his plans to support his idea. that way, logical people who see that the facts are in order will be persuaded to join him. An excellent way to get your point across, which was to build and establish the state Virginia, with two cities.

Destruction of the indies

Back in the 1400's to the 1500's Spain launched a (you could say), an attack on North America. It was supposed to be a conversion of religions voyage, but what ended up getting spilled was a little more than just personal views. During the time that the Spanish got the North America, and when they left, they went through village after village killing innocent people, just because they chose not to become Christan's. but the validity of there choice was greatly affected. first of all, the Spanish would only ask one person. The chief. This guy was the leader of the certain tribe of Indians, and usually speaking, he was pretty firm about his beliefs. so of course when the Spanish asked the chief for the people will you convert religions, of course he said no, and then of course, they killed them. In the end, I think that killing 90% of the Native Americans in North America wasn't needed, along with all of the other torturing they did to the women and children. All in all, it was really gruesome. and nobody would say anything against them, until one fryer stood up to take that position. A man called, Bartoleme de las Casas.

competition

Most people don't like to think about it, sometimes it's hard, sometimes it's easy, sometimes, it's just the choices you make. You can't stop it, eventually it's going to happen, whether with a girl, a sport, or over something random. When you are confronted with it, at first your reaction is to get aggressive and strive for what you want. run for it. Don't let anything or anyone stand in your way. But is it always the best descision? to hurt people because you want something? I Think that when it comes to competition, you should do your best to step down, and let someone else take the cake. It might be hard, but if you wish to continue your friendship with that person, sometimes you have to trudge through the valley of humility, so someone else can be praised.

There must be no emnity between us.
I surrender my dream.
Now it's your turn.

Run for it.

My Writing Philosophy

To start things off, I've never been an avid writer. I just did it because teachers told me to, (ha ha). Anyway, When I started this class, I started thinking about why I write, how I can share my ideas, and how to get them across to the world in a fun and easy way. I have always been good at writing, but never really found a reason. But I finally have one, and I'm beginning to see that writing is one way I can communicate my ideas to the ends of the earth. All I need to do is provide the information. I wish I could come up with something more interesting other than just communicating ideas, but in my new writing class, I'm sure that in a short amount of time, I will be able to explain this more thoroughly. For now, I'll be living and laughing, and crying out for more.

Charles Deemer is so right it's disguisting.

Charles Deemer made such a good point about education in universities, and there being totally blinded to the needs of the students. He hit it right on the dot when he said that the English composition course is, "The rigid child of a rigid parent." he explains the bond of Teacher and student and why it is important, including where it's missing. But he goes on to say that it doesn't stop there. Even standardized schools are beginning to adapt to this corrupt learning environment. he can't stress enough how important it is for the student/teacher relationship to be healthy. I support him in this conclusion, and I believe that he's right when it came to schools in 1967, and I believe that it is still happening, 41 years after this was written.

PSEC essay

While attending IA, I would often make video projects and submit them to my school as assignments. While doing this a great deal of praise was received for the hard work, and I was often featured as one of their top students. While being featured at a special awards ceremony a couple years ago, all “A”s were still the name of the game. Making these videos was very fun, just sit tight, as it is all part of my contribution at PSEC.

As a student, I work well with others, and can come up with some good ideas. But my interaction in front of the camera has bought me some different skills. These videos enhanced my presence in front of large crowds, helping to make myself known. The practice of projecting and displaying plans, to get my point across is invaluable. For school and city projects at PSEC, this is the kind of attitude and skill set that will work well within your walls.

The movies come in separate though. Some of the films were about space, cooking food, history, and believe it or not napkin folding! In the process of making these videos, and getting exceptional grades, I have made a difference for my current school IA, and have helped them gain new students and publicity. I even talked to a Senator of State (Tracy Eide), about funding for Internet Academy.

PSEC will see a big difference if you have a team member on board who is good at coming up with interesting ideas, displaying them comfortably in a classroom setting, or in an informational meeting. Being well accustomed to using projection programs like PowerPoint, making our ideas easy to understand, and easy to read, while still keeping that “short, sweet, and to the point” concept, will be easy. Hopefully, I will be a valuable member of our team at PSEC.
