Final Entry

I was the leader in group BOC 11 and we did our power point presentation Nathaniel Baria, a college student at UNLV that had stabbed his father 11 times in retaliation of pressure’s at home. Manny Rodriguez and Alex Sharfner assisted me in this project.
The final blog entry. As I sit here in Mr. Pinto’s computer application’s class at our eleventh week in first quarter, I begin to recall all of the emotions I felt eleven weeks ago. I was extremely nervous walking into the class for the first time. I tend to freak myself out and over contemplate everything while I’m stressed. Honestly my mind was still spinning round and round thinking about how one month ago I was just another high school dropout, and how can I seriously be here in college following a dream I’ve had since I was thirteen years old. Well before I knew it Mr. Pinto had me in over my head with things that I had never done before. I struggled for a bit but then did my best to be up to par in the class. I did not complete all of my assignments but it doesn’t seem to bother me all that much when I think of the overall experience I had. It was very satisfying and I know a lot more than I thought I would, and I really surprised myself with the things that I did accomplish and the areas I succeed in. In conclusion to this final blog entry I feel that I would deserve about a low C for trying my best so far. OH and I will improve, just wait and see.

Final Project

We have a group project, that needs to be done for next week. The objective is to create a powerpoint presentation with music and video to a crime themed presentation. I have a group put together that i feel is really going to be beneficial to our grade. I formed a group with Alex Sharfner and John Downey. John will be taking care of the soundtrack. I will be taking care of the information that needs to be researched. We have an article that can be used to help with that. Alex will be responsible for setting up the slides and finishing the powerpoint itself. For friday, we will be getting together and and shooting a video and taking pictures of the crime we decided to theme our presentation on. But, by friday i will have some information and research done for alex so that he can put some slides together.
