New Semester Reflection

First off, switching schools this fall was a very exciting experience. I learned that I needed to take advantage of my free time and get as much school work done as I can. This is especially important if you play sports. I also learned no to wait till the last minute to start homework. Procrastination only serves as a temporary stress reliever and only builds stress when the due date comes. You will notice a change in some of your grades if you plan ahead and get started as soon as possible.

Most importantly, you need sleep. What good does any of this do if you are too tired to participate in class and pay attention. My goal for the spring semester is to balance sports and school. I will try to get most of my homework done BEFORE practice so I can go to practice and then just go home and get a good night sleep. Above all, I will be working towards all As this semester.

Hurricane Katrina

Hurricane Katrina was an extremely destructive and deadly cyclone and is ranked among the five deadliest hurricanes in the history of the United States. This hurricane disrupted many citizens lives in the south and ruined most of their belongings, maybe all they had. This left many people with no homes and the feeling of loss.  Hurricane Katrina was the largest and 3rd strongest hurricane ever recorded to make landfall in the United States.  In New Orleans, the levees were designed for Category 3 hurricanes, but Katrina was at a Category 5 hurricane, with winds up to 175 mph. The levees ended up breaking and flooding the city of New Orleans. I pray for the families that lost loved ones or that are still recovering from this horrific event. I also pray that we all stay safe during this hurricane season.

200. How do you use Wikipedia?

Wikipedia is described as a "multilingual, web-based, free-content encyclopedia project supported by the Wikimedia Foundation and based on a model of openly editable content." Basically it is a single website that has any answer you could ask for. This website is extremely easy to gather information, but it also has some catches. It is openly editable to all people which means that some people can post on this website even if they are not fully qualified to speak on the topic. Many students may want to go straight to Wikipedia to get their information because it is extremely easy, simple, and mindless. However, this may not always be the best option. You may receive false information and this will come back to hurt you after turning in your assignment. I us wikipedia to maybe get a general topic overview, but I do not use this site to gather all the information needed for my assignment. It is better to dive deeper into your research and find reliable sources from people wh
