Essay Ideas

My favorite essay topic idea for obesity is who is responsible for childhood obesity. I can start research on this by finding out the causes of it, what kids are born with this genetically and how many kids get this later in life through there eating. It would also be good to Find out a link between parents with no time to make food, parents who let there kid eat whatever, and parents who by junk because it's cheap and affordable.

Text Analysis #1

This text goes over who is really to blame in the problem of obesity in America. People in our country look to blame someone in this epidemic and these people are very quick to blame the food industry for their problems. The author of the passage believes that the food industry isn't all to blame. The article talks about how eating these easily accessible foods should be regulated by ourselves and is no one else's responsibility. Sure, the food industry markets heavily to the people and food is plentiful for everyone to get but these companies selling you the processed trash are not forcing you to eat it.

Reflections on Week 1

Are there any factors that you think are going to affect your participation or experience in this class?
Access to a computer?  Mobile/smart phone?  Transportation?  Friends/family? Schedule?

- Nothing should really affect me in this class other than maybe sports but it wont be a big deal.





Think of an awesome best ever learning experience that changed you. What did you learn? Where were you? What happened? Who else was there? Did it teach you anything about how you learn (or pay attention... or remember, or think?) How did you know what was happening?

- I would have to say that out of all my years of learning, last year in this class. It was the first time I'd ever heard of using the internet as my tool for education. Using it brought out a more creative side of me that I have seen. I could tell that what I was learning in this class was helping because it transferred over to my other classes and helped me succeed in them.





What are you most [excited/concerned] about in this class? What do you look forward to in learning?  How do you think it can/will make a practical difference in your life?

- I'm just excited to be continuing this class again. I'm looking to learn how to put my writing skills to better use for myself and see where it can get me.

It's All Latin To Me

dimidium facti qui coepit habet: sapere aude, incipe
"He who has begun is half done: dare to know, dare to begin!"

What this quote means to me is that if you take the effort to start something, you need to continue on with it. Pretty much I see this similar to the saying finish what you start.
