ITS CRUCH TIME>>>>>>>>GRRRR!!!

When I visited my sponsor on Friday I actually had his FULL ATTENTION! No papers, pens, or annoying secretaries. So, as I elaborated on potential plans and ideas for my presentation. I got feedback for my thoughts on the final product. I made it clear that I was a little anxious on the fact that I wasn’t certain on exactly what my project would actually consist of. His advice to me was to sell my product in other words know what I’m talking about. So, I’m really, really, really NERVOUS… Anyway I’m coping with the idea of presenting in front of certain people like the administration and a few of my teachers since I have somewhat of a phobia for speaking in front of large or prevalent involved crowds of people. Regretfully, I did mention the date of June 11th to my sponsor and he spoke of a possibility of him making an appearance to my presentation, but only time will reveal the outcome.

From April 11th to the 13th all of the senior class and I went on a journey to Disney World in Florida. While there we were asked to make connections that accede with senior project. Well it just so happens that Disney and journalism go hand and hand. As I was in the park I made various connects that resonate with the study of journalism: the occupation of reporting, editing, photography, or broadcasting news. Like the picture I took of the giant golf ball at Epcot or the brochure I read at The Disney Animal Kingdom. Even back at the Hotel all I had to do was turn on the television and a Hostess was talking about the multiple attractions in the five Disney World parks. Basically, everything can resonate with the art of writing that reflects superficial thought.

__________ Is Food For Thought.

     A Time of  Grace, is the title of the autobiography  I've rented from the Camden County Library, which seems to be my new home nowadays, it's the first hand account in the life of the gifted Arthur Ashe. In his prime, Ashe could easily be rendered one of the greatest tennis players of his time, whom helped perfect and advertise the sport. He broke barriers for countless Afro-American altheletes in all genres of sport and became an advocate for heart disease and aids, two fatal ailments that took his life in 1993.
     Being a fanatic of tennis myself, I'm able to relate with such a phonemonal player, but another portion that made it so easy to connect to the auto-biography is the determination and faith exhibited throughout Ashe's life and prefessional career. Generally, I reccomend this wonderful account of admiration and self-awareness. 

We Have A Connection!

     To answer your question, Mr. Abrams, I can make a perfect connection with the new health care law, which just happens to resonate with my subject of journalism and its relevance to abortion. In fact, I can quite a few examples. Like the health reform issue, abortion has cause irascible effects in both  government and personal appeals. Its became so bad at times in fact many people have lost their lives to help make these new legisiatures possible. The issues involving health care reform and abortion have caused waves across country and throughout the world.
 Many articles such as the New York Times, The Boston Globe, and USA Today have discussed these topics within full depth. Columnist, News reports, and the average citizens critique the choices of laws concerning abortion and healthcare. As a matter of fact, the government has recently announced a potential addition to the new reform claiming that abortion will possibly be added to insurance based policies.

More hands on deck...&7#

As you may know, I visit my sponsor every Friday ,but this time I won't come empty handed. I proposed that I come up with a few paragraphs, about 100 words elaborating what has occured thus far. In order for my sponsor to grasp a better idea of what I want for my presentation. To begin, I'd like start with acknowledging what Senior Project is all about, express what has and will be accomplished, and perhaps give ideas for a more hands-on and enjoyable experience in the office with my sponsor. By the way I know that this week's visit blog has been shorten but not to worry next week will be filled with many exciting hopefully insightful information and facts. ( ;

" The American people have been waiting for this moment for over a century!"

Alas the bill of rights has approached us. Last Thursday the health care reform bill was legalized. What could this possibly mean to the American people? This bill is an historical piece of legistration which will enable low to moderate income families to recieve a choice of private insurance coverage, bridge the gap between expenses and prescription medication cost, and include full coverage of any child on their parents insurer until the age of 26. Not to mention reconstruction of the Federal student loan programs for future college students everywhere "The American people have been waiting for this moment for over a century."  a claim made by Nevada's own, Harry Reid ( senate majority leader).  The bill has delayed the new tax on expensive employee sponsor insurance policies by 2018, including the medicare payroll tax that is scheduled for 2013. The final House vote was 220 to 207 and the senate vote was 56 to 43.

Sponsor Visits....It's Either now or Later.

After my last visit with my sponsor prior to this blog I experience some frustration due to having a sense of a lack of a hands-on experience. Even though I realize that there isn't exactly much that you can do while having a editor as your sponsor except maybe edit a few papers, it still became kind of nerve-racking when things weren't going the way I'd planned them too. Thankfully, Coach Snyder gave me a few prudent ideas that may come in handy for my next visit for this Friday. When I was at the sponsor's office, I went over the almost finish product of my research paper with Mr. Barnum. There wasn't as much err as I thought there would have been, but he's the editor and I'm trusting his opinion.


 My sponsor was one step ahead of  you, Mr. Abrams by asking me what I wanted to do with the upcoming presentation and why, just like we had discussed during class. I tried to elaborate the opinionated column idea  and he seemed kinda iffy about it, but Mr. Barnum, promised that he'd let me know officially by what will hopefully be my next visit with him. Anyway, he gave me some input on things like video clips or old coverage of media files that might make my presention that much exciting, varying on my topic for my presentation. We'll see what happens.!
