What Meyer means by explaining that lie is a cooperative act is that it is for sure. People will let others deceive them or tell them false statements that may seem truthful but in reality, they are not. Whether it is from people we trust like friends or family or another classmate, we all have experienced these moments where we are lied to. People lie to hide secrets, cover up something, make you find out the truth, and many other ways. Lying is cooperative because it is something that can occur easily any day of the week. What the speaker explains when she is saying that lying is a way of connecting what we wish they were at means is that we strive and want to be the person we may believe we want to be or fantasize about being someone better or like someone else. There are gaps though that can cause us to keep trying to overcome to become what people think will be who they will really be but in reality, it is their wishes that can affect them. Yes, I would agree with truth two becaus...

The top 5 skills that I wish to gain are self-confidence, oral and written communication, leadership, problem-solving, and a better work ethic. I wish to gain more self-confidence so I can make decisions in my future life and career and contribute as a good employee. Gaining self-confidence will help me believe that I can find good opportunities for me at work and out of work to live happily and work hard and believe in what I do. With oral and written communication, my wish is to become less nervous speaking in front of classmates and people and talk without many pauses. I also wish to become better at explaining and writing papers or letters to be prepared to write reports and other materials in my future job. I want to become a better leader to lead by example and prepare to manage and lead people with the right information and success. I wish to become a better leader so people can trust me and look up to me to count on me for help and advice. With problem-solving, I want to improv...

With my first year of college almost completed, there have been many new items that I have learned this year than I have learned in high school. In high school, many things aren't taught to us. Examples include being introduced to APA format, what professors are like, and what your college life consists of. I wish I would've been told in high school how to APA format because I had to teach myself to create a cover page and how it differs when writing a paper from just MLA. I wish I would've been told more about the opportunities that exist at college. There are many more opportunities than just clubs. There are service opportunities, jobs, and many ways to connect with others that haven't been introduced and used in high school. I wish in high school there would be some ways I was taught about time management because there are times where you may have no homework, or you may have a good amount, and with a busy schedule, you have to learn to take on those tasks on your o...

My biggest regret is not working hard enough. The reason why not working hard enough is my biggest regret is that I was often given the help to get better and I did not take it seriously enough to put more effort into it. I had many opportunities to study better and work harder as an athlete, but I didn't drive to do it. Yes, my regret could follow the same, not pattern because there can be times where I do not put enough effort into my sport depending on how I let things affect me. Whether it is how I feel that day or a lack of motivation, it can impact how I perform. Why I regret this is because I could be a way better person and worker being more prepared to tackle bigger challenges and tasks I have faced. I could not change this regret around now because I could have been more successful at this point in time if I worked harder back in my past. I cannot go back into the past and change what I would do, I can only now improve myself for my future. Since I did not work hard enoug...

Blog 7: New Version of 3 Little Pigs

 The mother pig sent out her three little ones to go look for some food. The first little pig got distracted really easily and has been lost before. The second little pig was sluggish but was willing to go look and the third little pig was eager to leave and venture out. Each pig had their own house, the first pig made his out of hay and the second one made his out of wood and branches. The third pig made his home out of bricks. The third pig wanted to make sure he had a strong house to be safe from the weather. That day, the pigs felt the weather change drastically, it was sunny and when they saw it begin to get cloudy quickly, they picked up their food and ran back to their houses. The second and third pig made it out safely and went back to their house. The first pig got lost and he yelled for help. By the time he yelled, he had heard something in the bushes. He called out to see if they were his brothers, but they weren't there. The wolf had appeared and in the bushes tried to ...

There was a time when I was prepared to leave during the cool, crisp night to go hang out with my friends. On my way there, I was excited that we would all drive somewhere and do something. We were either going to eat or go watch a baseball game at a nearby field. No one was saying much in the group chat and I was thinking are they lying? I asked what we were doing, and they said they were going out to eat and they told me they were going to Buffalo Wild Winds, so I drove there. I was shocked when I pulled into the parking lot that there were barely any cars, and I didn't see my friend's red, beat-up car. I was so confused and unhappy at the same time because they might be pranking me now. I tried to be calm and collected on the phone when I call my friend, and he told me they were busy and he and one other friend were at his house. I wasn't happy at all because I drove almost a half hour to learn that we weren't really doing anything and I went to my friend's house...

Video Description Blog #5

The video depicts people entering the elevator. It begins with a young lady playing her rap music loudly, and the elderly man plays his older style of music at a high volume. Both show that their taste in music is better than when another person enters the elevator; they turn their music on and listen to it. At once, three people are blasting the volume to their music, and then it foreshadows five people playing their music at the same time, and when the man enters the elevator with his big radio, they all pause their's and listen to his. The author's purpose for writing this video is that everyone listens to so many types of music. Many people like music and we want to express what they like. Music is diverse and people like many different songs. It cannot be played all at the same time because it can be confusing and obnoxious. Until the last man came in the elevator, no one had their music stopped until he started his. We all need to pay attention to each other and not block...
