Entry #5: My response to "Ducey: Why Arizona needs more college grads"

Through out my personal educational experience, in my opinion, I came to the conclusion that the schooling system in the United States is a rip off and extremely over priced. Although many will disagree with my opinion, here's why I think that... First off I continued my education after high school in 2014. For the past three years I really cannot say I learned something that changed my life that I will always need and use. But then again this is my 4th year in school and I'm looking at about 7 more years. Most likely somewhere in the next years, I will stumble across a new learning experience.

 Now, after reading Doug Ducey's thoughts about the toughest of why Arizona needs more college grads, I would not necessarily say I disagree with him. Yes, I still believe its a rip off and a big growing business, but I also still agree with him.

 "Earning a certificate or degree, or both, after high school opens the door to countless economic opportunities". I defiantly believe that education equals opportunity today. With so many jobs out there, and a percentage amount of people graduation, of course the person with a degree or certification is most likely to find a job and be a better qualified candidate. 

 I defiantly agree with his statement, "The reality is that educated households have better long-term financial stability". Its true! Not necessarily for everyone, but for the majority yes it is. 

 Do I agree with what will happen is we reach 60%? Yeas and no. I think it would be ideal and good for the  economy and people, but I dont necessarily think it would be so easy. There is always a possibility, but then again 60% is a lot of people! That is a huge chunk of Arizona's population. 

 All in all, I think he has really good intentions and wants to best for Arizona and it's economy.

Entry 11: Final Blog Reflection

The first day of class we were introduced to becoming a blogger and author. My first thoughts about this idea about blogging in a English 102 class was great. I was very excited for something different and new. Every English class is different but most are very similar. The idea that students create a blog and 50% of it is self generated topics was a wonderful idea. I enjoyed writing every single entry. My favorite was the self generated blogs. These were my favorite because it was a way I could express my personal opinion and share what interests me. Along with the self generated topics we has great topics that were instructed to us. All of them we were able to express in our own ways. No ones blog was at all similar. The topics may have been, but the views were all slightly different along with the content.  Blogging was completely new to me. I went in with a positive attitude and for now I am leaving with a positive attitude as well. At first I struggled with the simple asp...

BLOGS, BLOGS, AND MORE BLOGS! What do you think?

People are always wanting to become a "Bloggers", whether it be personal or professional. It can be interesting how people compose their blogs. Some look so engaging while others do not. Since I'm giving this " blog life" a shot I decided I would do some research of my own. I came across a few blogs. Some I enjoyed and really admire, while others not so much. I like to start off with the negative and the blogs I didn't enjoy as much and then ending on a good note.  The first blog I came across was: All the Xbox One Indie, Third-Party and First-Party Launch Titles by Matt Peckham The moment I opened this blog I knew I did not like it before even reading the post and what it is about. The layout to me looked more like a article then blog. I do understand that this is a professional blog, but in my eyes it looks like a advertisement more so.  As I read through the article and learned a little about the Xbox, I felt like it left me hanging. Maybe the author...
