Blog #14 - College Bound

1) Cristian Islas,  Midfielder for University Of California with 97 goals in a season. Cristian's goal is to play for FC Barcelona as a midfielder or goalkeeper. His spirit and love for the game really influences you to go put on a pair of cleats and play.


2) However when it comes down to bad behavior Cristian recently got arrested for speeding while driving drunk. Police say he was going 80 MPH on a 60 MPH freeway. He went to court and payed the fine of $5,000. He says that it was a mistake and had to do with his personal life.


3) I don't think you should believe everything you see on the internet because most if it is fake unless the website is legitment like a news website or something credible.


4) Your digital footprint is important because its how people view you online wise. For example if your applying for a job online the employer can do a background check on you. He/She would be able to see whether your a slacker or a hard worker. They would look at your blogs and or anything connected to your email or any other information you gave them, proving that your digital footprint is important.


5)


6) Ways teens share their info online are websites like Facebook, Instagram, Myspace, Youtube, and whole lot of other things that could be apps or websites.


7) Yes, up to the point where they post pictures of them half naked.


8) I don't use any social websites.


9) I do because if I were to to do an online applicaton the employer could check out my digital footprint and see how I am in my personal life.


10) When I use to use social websites i was a really quite person. The only reason i made them was just cause of friends.

Blog # 7 - Role Model

              My role model is Tim Howard. He is currently a goalkeeper for English club Everton and the United States national team. Howard was born and raised in North Brunswick, New Jersey. As a kid his parent s got divorced and he chose to live with his mother Esther Howard. His father wanted to get both him and his brother, Chris, as soon as possible. He started buying them gear to see which spot they preferred, Tim leaned towards soccer and basketball. 
              
              As he got towards middle school and high school Tim joined a soccer camp where a scouter saw his potential and took him under his wing. Tim was a midfielder and goalkeeper but he was much better in the goal. Since then Tim had joined clubs and got higher and better, at 16 Tim had played his first professional game for the North Jersey Imperials. Howard is a great goalie and I want to be just as good as him considering I just started but I do want to get better at it.

Blog #11 - Free Choice

              For my free choice I'm going to write about 3 different cars that are similar in many ways. The cars I'm going to write aboout are the Infiniti G35, Sabaru Impreza STi, and the Nissan 370z . The thing all these cars have in common is that they are stick shift. I've always been interested in stick shift cars because they are most likely faster than most average automatic cars.

               The Infiniti G35 has a very slim design to its body, its not too bulky which is good cause it will way less. You can buy the car in both automatic or manual but i prefer buying manual on this one simply cause it runs smoother.  This car would be my 2nd favorite.
       
                                                                   
     

               The Sabaru Impreza STi is one of Sabaru's newest cars and probably one of their best I think. This car is pretty bulky but it also looks good with the car considering that the car itself isnt that long in length. There are many different versions of this car. It comes in with a spoiler or no spoiler depending on which version you buy. If you buy the STi you will get the spoiler and the car itself is faster than the Impreza without it. This Is probably my number 1 favorite car at the moment.
                                                                              
                                                                             

              The Nissan 370z is very much alike the Infiniti G35 only smaller in size. This car reminds me of the G35 cause its design because as you can see in the photos they do. Not really much to say about this car other than this car can be modified as can all the others. This is my 3rd favorite car.

Blog - Integrity

         Integrity, it means the quality of being honest and having strong and moral principles; moral uprightness. In other words it means being yourself and not lying about who you really are. I try to build my integrity by doing as much good as I can. Examples would be like, not telling lies and telling the truth. Its really just based on how truthful you are and how you choose to do so.

                                                                   

          Not only is it about being truthful but also about doing whats right. For example, Instead of taking the easy way out and getting your co-worker or colleague in trouble do what is right. Do  not cross the line of integrity for yourself. We all have our own morals and lines we won't go past. Another quick example would be not to cheat your taxes or lie about them.

Blog # 13 - Online Scams

Last year my friend was scammed for his xbox with over $100 dollars on it. Full with items, games, and downloads. I was in the xbox live party chat as it was going on. My friend had been offered to boost up his rank and hack his stats. So my friend asked what he had to do. The scammer said he needed his email address and password to his account for him to be able to access his stats. So without hesitation he gave him his account information and within 10-15 minutes he had been signed out of his account and the scammer had changed the account password to friends account and started removing all the friends that he had on that account. My friend called Microsoft saying they had taken his account  and there was no way of getting it back. From there they banned the account and within a month he had it back. Point is scamming happens a lot on Xbox.

Blog #17 - Spring Break

During my Spring Break I slept in. Monday I went to the movies with a couple friends. On Tuesday I stayed home, cleaned and went to the gym. Wednesday was pretty much the same thing except I had soccer practice from 6-8. Thursday I relaxed pretty much the whole day and in the afternoon I went to go work the snack bar at the Farm Complex. On Friday I went to a friends house and from there we just hung out and went to pick up her sister. At the end of that I had soccer practice again. Saturday and Sunday are game days since I played on Saturday and my brother played on Sunday. After Saturday's game I had to work the snack bar. On sunday we went to Yorbellinda to watch my brothers last soccer game and after that we got home and went to Church. That was pretty much my Spring Break.
