  The goal of many blogs is to give people the ability to get to know each other from their point of view of many different topics. Blogs are useful for many different reasons. Many people use blogs to talk with family and friends. Many people use blogs to express their feelings and see if there are other people that respond because they feel the same way on the views. I believe the goal of the author of the blog I have read is to explain their point of view on many different points such as the way they believe in school dress codes. The author has a strong point of view on many different events happing in public schools. I believe the author has achieved their goal successfully. Most of the blogs found are read from the most recent entry date to the first entry date written. I believe the author took plenty of their time in preparing this blog. I can not tell much about the author. In most cases books or everyday papers we read from the first entry to the latest entry and only one article at a time. The spelling and grammar used in this site is used very well. I can tell the author is a very strong minded person. I think the goal of the author has been planed and reached very well. I feel that the overall quality of this blog site is great and I would highly recommend it to other students. I think blogs are a faster and more efficient way of doing many simple tasks but it takes plenty of pacitients.
 
  draft 2 assignment 1 The Day of 911

It was going to a good day until the first tower went down. That when it all started. I took a shower, ate breakfast and was on my way to school. Everything was going smoothly until I went to my second period class, which was Spanish. Everyone was having fun learning Spanish until one the football players came in and told us that twin towers were being high-jacked. At first no one was playing attention to him, because the class was so noisy. When the teacher finally heard him she turns on the TV. All of a sudden everyone was quiet; it felt like a dream at first. Then reality finally hit everyone when the principal announce what was going on. The class started to panic, because we were all wondering what was going to happen next. The finale result was a tragedy. All of a sudden there was nothing but tears in every student eyes. The only question that came out of everyone’s mouth was “How could this happen? How could this happen?” Till today I still ask myself that same question.

Later on the p.a. system, the principal told all of us to have a moment of silence for the victims that had died. Then it finally hit me that so many people lives were taken away “just like that”. I started getting scared, because I thought about my family member who lived in New York and Washington. At that time all I wanted to do was go home and start making phone calls to my family and friends. As soon as school was over I decide to go home and make all my phone call, and watch a little bit of CNN so that I could get some information on what was going on. Which I later did, at first it was difficult because everyone was so emotional. I was happy to hear everyone was all right. At that moment I started to see how bad everything was. New York City was filled w/ dust, papers were everywhere, and everything seemed out of place. Some of my family member that lived in New York told us that from afar it seems like a black cloud was sitting on top of New York, because everything seemed so dark and gloomy. That was a day I would never forget. The outcome of this event was tragic, but my family is strong enough to overcome all the hardships that life brings. My family is a strong family that can pull through many things as long as they can work together. I hope all of the families that were affected by this tragic event could be there for each other like my family would have. I am very lucky to have a so supportive and loving family.

Although September 11, 2001 was a tragedy day that changed our prospective of life it also untied us to defend our nation from terrorist. When tragedies like this accurse all we have to do is pray. Reason why is because tomorrow is never promise. Life is full of so many ups and downs and all we have to do his learn to overcome it. September 11, 2001 was a tragedy.

  Dress Code Assignment

The Dean of OCC has released a statement that the board will discuss implementing a student dress code for the campus. Implementing a student dress code for college student is wrong. Being a college student shows your maturity, so by the time you have Reach College you should at least be able to wear whatever you want. The Dean wants a dress code that will establish the dress of ankle length attire with plain non-logo tops. This includes no short skirts or dresses above the ankle. No T-shirts with
Writing on them of any kind and no other attire with visible markings of class or social status. He believes this will make the student less conscious of their outward appearance, and increase equality on the education that is provided at OCC. I do not believe in having a dress code in a community college or any other university. Everyone has their own way of expressing who they are, and if someone like the Dean should take this freedom away that is like taking their personality from them. The clothes people wear tell something about who they are. Some people dress a different ways due to their culture. If everyone dressed in the same clothes everyone would look the same and it would be rather boring. Some people use clothing start a conversation, by complimenting someone on their shoes or their cool shirt. Having a dress code could be a big financial problem on a lot of families. Some people have to wear whatever they have not everyone would have the money to go out to the store and buy a whole new wardrobe just to
Attend a college. I believe that when people make their money they should be able to buy the clothes they want to wear especially when they are in college. The last reason I believe that a dress code would be a bad idea in a community college especially like Olney Central College is because the people attending the college may take offence to someone making rules about how they dress. In college the students are
Old enough to make the right decisions on what they should and should not wear. They are not in grade school. The older students and younger students see things from different stand points. That is the difference in the generations. Their are many different schools that have tried to address this problem but nothing has come out of it.
