Develpment

As a writer I think i have developed through each paper we have written. I have learned that when i want to write something down thats on my mind i usually forget to include the details which really takes away from my writing. At the beginning of this course i was just taking this class because i needed it to complete my AA but as the class went on i began to enjoy writing and learning how to argue my points more and more! I usually dread english classes but being able to write on something that you are interested in as opposed to what the teacher wants you to write about really allows you to get into your paper and give it a little spice. Also I liked it when we argued about what an author was trying to convey in their paper. It allowed me to expand my thoughts past what I take out of the essays which also helped me as a writer. I wish that before entering this class i would of had the motivation to write like i do now, it would of helped in writing my first few papers. This class and the people involved in this class have broadened my views and have enhanced my writing ability.

Topic Proposal Salaries in Sports

Salaries in Sports (are they fair)
I want to write on the salaries in professional sports. I know that professional athletes are among the highest paid professionals out there. Professional baseball players have the highest salary in all of the major pro sports. I think that I will probably need to find out the actual salaries of these sports, other salaries to compare against, if these athletes deserve these high paying salaries for the work they do. Also I want to know is who cares enough about these sports to pay these ridiculous salaries, and why they do it. I also want to figure out if this issue is affecting our economy, and if it is when this is an issue. Right now I’m not leaning either way, these athletes do entertain fans, and put a toll on their bodies in the process, on the other hand these athletes are being paid salaries and signing bonuses multiple times as the most important man in our nation, the president. Does their need to be a salary cap on each player to spread money throughout our economy instead of billionaires spending it on these athletes? This is a question I want answered through my research.

response to Scott Russell Sanders essay

I think that the author does a very good job by going through and explaining the types of men he knows in his life. This helps to get a better understanding of how he views men in the world. It also helps to get a better aspect from the other sides views. It allows the reader to feel for these hard working men. Also it helps you to see the benefits of education and how it saves your body from the intense hours and hard labor. I disagree that men or women work harder. Both sexes play important roles in our society today, maybe back in the day men had harder physical lives, but women had more to deal with mentally.

I see myself aligning with this arguement in that i see the relation in my grandparents. My grandpa was always doing hard labor ever since his early teen years where as my grandma went to college and ended up gettting a job high up the rankings for the state. You can see the effects now in my grandpas breathing and personal health where as my grandma never gets sick. Nowadays though my dad reversed the role and became a teacher and is a very healthy individual.

I think this arguement kinda relates back to the education arguement, it changes the outcome of your future, even as far as your health.

I think that by starting in a debate it helps the author get his views in. Sanders does a good job at going through the main occupations for men from his childhood, this also broadens the readers mind on his past, which conveys his arguement even more.

first blog assignment

Hi my name is Mike. I'm currently attending the Falls to play baseball and get a degree in Business Management.
I think the author proves a good point when he talks about making the learning environment more like an apprenticeship. This would allow for students to really understand what their proffesion is like, they will figure out if they truly like what their future has in store for them as far as their profession is concerned. If teachers didn't just show you facts, and actually allowed you to experiment with your studies you would be better suited for your career.
I decided to come to SFCC because i was recruited to play baseball and i thought spokane would be a fun city to be enrolled in college. It's definitely an upgrade from Helena, Mt.
My Goals at SFCC are to finish my AA with above a 3.5 and get recruited to play my last two years of eligibility at a legitimate university.
My goals after SFCC are to get a bachelors degree in physical therapy or to become a personal trainer for a sports team.
My goals relate to those of Grubbs in that my goals are career lated and Grubbs wants students to be more hands on taught!
