      It was the video about Randy Paush. I really admired him because he did not want pity about his cancer. He have accepted it but he talked about chasing dreams. Dont let nobody tell you, you cant do something. He was a great motivation speaker. It was like he was talking to me because i have had issues pursuing my dreams. Even though most people struggle with their own personal dreams. After the video, you gave the assignment about the our personal credo. I thought it was pretty cool because never had an assignment about my personal beliefs. It made me focus on my beliefs but transfer them as writer. I had to make the readers understand my beliefs even though they are different.

      Peer editing is when  peers in your class edits the paper by grammer and peer response. It focuses on the advantages of peer editing. I loved peer editing this semester because peers helped me out greatly in my papers. In my refection, I talked about peers finding things in my paper. Peers help you find the errors before the teachers do. Its a great help and advantage for students. Also, It was a great chance to meet students.

      Self reflection was mentioned in this journal entry. To me, self reflection shows geninue reflection of yourself. I dont believe in keeping journals because i dont want nobody to read it. Journals and diarys are good ways to keep track of time and yourself. I remember reading the book, Diary of Anne Frank. It shows how a girl matures  and develops through her writing in a rough period. You can almost imagine being there beside her. You can tell the book was self reflection because it was so real and alive. As a writer, it teaches you to connect to your audience.

      I learned about Ethos, Logos and Pathos. Logos is the message. Ethos was the communication, credibility and authority. Pathos was the audience. I have used all of these in my writing but didnt know specific terms for them. I had to recongize which one that could be used in my writings. The newscast was a good example because i recognized the pathos. You can tell the newscasters was appealing to the audience emotions. It was great technique for the newscasters.

      The blog website  was confusing  and i would try to post something on other people blog. I have no idea where to go because everybody is different. I lost track where assignments was suppose to go and commenting on other people pages. I have learned a lot from the blogging experience. It takes a great deal of time and effort. You really have to be motivated to achieve one. It was a different aspect on writing a blog. One that I will never forget
