Purpose, Audience,Genre-Task #3-2nd part

I’ve chosen to follow NPR Politics which is located in Washington, D.C. It catches my attention since my major involves a bit about politics. It is also good to know how the government works and what it is planning to do. Since I started to do some research on the government and studied about it, it has become somewhat natural to me to understand the terms that are being used. It was all foreign to me for a very long time. I know that there are more people that are interested in the same field as I am however this is the first and only one I have came across. I am still trying to get caught up with everything that is going on but I know that soon it will all be a walk in the park.
I’ve accessed NPR Politics blog site and the purpose of their blog is to inform people about the current information that has happened and is currently happening. I mean, no one has to be a political junkie to be interested in these blogs. It can be anyone that just wants information on the latest political news. NPR Politics basically keeps people updated with old and recent news. Especially with how the economy and recession is right now everyone wants to know what our new president is going to do for us: Will he go forward and keep his word? Or will he do a 180 and do the unexpected?

Purpose, Audience,Genre-Task #3

Since you all know that I am a mother of 3 and soon to be of 4 little ones, I definitely like to maintain my health the proper way. Therefore, that is why I chose http://workoutmommy.com .
This site provides many other links to several experienced mothers that find ways to stay in shape. Being a mother can come naturally and be easy however very stressful that it is necessary to find some time for themselves. Exercise is extremely important for everyone in general. I was very active before I had my first child. I used to run 4-5 miles Mon- Thurs. Of course it took a lot of time and effort to get there, but what I’m trying to say is that now I don’t have the same drive in me like before.
Like many others, I make up excuses for not finding time to exercise, and on this blog site, there are other mothers that have experienced what I am now experiencing. So I look forward to reading there blogs as to how they manage to get a quick workout while managing their family and other situations. This site is useful to mothers like me that sometimes just don’t have that self-esteem and believe in themselves.

Purpose, Audience,Genre-Task #2

I chose www.momversation.com/blog because to me I feel that it is directed to mothers in general. The central focus of the blog is basically mothers letting out their daily experiences about their tasks on being a mother. Every mother has a different strategy that will eventually resolve the issue with their children or married life. The blogs on this site are pretty useful, can be a little strait forward however gets to the point. All the information posted on these blogs, are pretty informative that the authors express exactly what they are feeling. Most of the authors are based on the reality that they at first don’t think about having fake names for themselves or their families. Most of the time it comes naturally, I would have to say. I mean I used to do it a lot, and well….kind of still do it. Every mother has a different strategy that at the end may resolve that one problem a certain mom is having with their child that was unable to find a solution.

Introduction Essay

For the next 3-4 years after I complete my academic courses here at TSTC, I plan to continue my education at a university to accomplish my goal in earning my bachelors in criminal justice and teaching. Well…. since my husband is going to get stationed somewhere away from the valley, I’m not sure what is going to happen. I obviously will have to move, which will be extremely stressful because I will have to find a university that offers my major. I would love to work for U.S. Customs one day. I used to be interested in Border Patrol, until I had the opportunity to go on a ride along with an agent. It was an outside program called, Border Patrol Explorers, for the ages of 14-18, that I got trained for. It was very interesting, however like I mentioned before, I walked in the steps of an agent and found out that it really wasn’t something I wanted to do. Communication is extremely important not only in the profession I’m interested, however in any profession. As far as my profession, it is very significant because at the end of the day, reports have to be written as far as every scenario that has come across by that agent. These reports have to be written in a professional way to where it is specific and understandable. I am not much of a writer I guess because I could never think outside the box. I tried too hard to be creative that my writing became cheesy and not interesting. I believe and know that good writing consists of having good knowledge of vocabulary that is being used. After taking comp 1, I believe that I have improved in my writing skills however, not as much as I need and like to be. I’m hoping that by the end of this course I will have mastered the procedures to writing a professional paper that catches the reader’s attention.

Busy Bee

OK, well.... where do I start? I have been extremely busy but then again what is new, right? I mean I am a mother of 3, a military wife, student, Daisy Scout assistant leader, preparing for T-ball season, and on top of it all, I work! I of course am not the only one that is overwhelmed with all these kinds of thing however I feel exhausted. :( Sometimes I just don't know how I manage everything to fall in it's place!!! It is so frustrating! My daily tasks are waking up, getting my children up for school (which is the most difficult because they start crying!!), going to work if I'm needed, pick up the kids after school if there are no activities afterwards, clean up while I try to prepare a meal, at the same time speak to my children on how was there day at school, listen to their stories and take a look at their assignments, while my hungry husband arrives from work with a huge appetite. After dinner, it is clean up time, help my kids with homework while trying to separate them from fighting, bathe them and then try to find some time for my school work!! Which at this right moment am doing!! But at the end of the day I Thank God for letting us have our lives and health and always try to look at it in a different perspective way. I mean, it could be worse, right?
