What are your hobbies and extra curricular activities? Where do you spend your free time? Tell me three of your favorite things (movies, TV show, magazine, sport, color, etc.)
I don't have many hobbies, but I do enjoy stringing lacrosse heads and cooking. My three favorite things are lacrosse, Notre Dame Football, and girls. I like lacrosse because it is fast-paced and fun to both watch and play. I like Notre Dame Football because of all the history. I like girls because they are pretty. If all of these things could be combined, I would probably cry.

What are some qualities of a good presentation? How can you make a boring presentation interesting? Explain.
There are very many extremely boring presentations; however, there are also many ways to make these presentations interesting. For example, use an upbeat tone and engage your audience. This will make it more interesting than one in which you just stand at the front of the room and read directly off the screen in a monotone voice. Also, add color and interesting visuals to your information in order to spark interest in your presentation. It is important to keep your audience interested, because a disinterested audience will not learn as well as one that is engaged in the presentation. If informing is your main purpose, at last make it interesting.

Tell me if you agree with this statement and then explain why or why not. "Images on the internet are 'free game' - if someone posted I should be able to use it."
I do not agree with this statement. If someone has posted an image and has acquired the proper legal documentation to claim it as their own, we cannot use it without citation or permission. They worked to create and post that image, and we have no right to rob them of it. Just don't claim it as your own, give credit and there will not be a problem. How would you feel if someone took credit for your work?

What is the importance of online safety and protecting your information? What do you do to protect yourself online? Share an experience you or someone you know has had with online safety.
In a world where almost anything is attainable online, practicing safety on the web is more important than ever. If you don't protect yourself online, people can track you down or get your person information. This includes credit card numbers, social security numbers, addresses, anything. I have the location services off on my phone, I don't post my address on twitter or Facebook and I don't talk to strangers online. My sister once posted on Twitter that she was going to California Pizza Kitchen for dinner and my parents got mad and wouldn't let her go because people cold be waiting there.

After watching the short clip of Ashton Kutcher's acceptance speech what did you take away from his advice? What does this quote mean to you -"Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you, and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use."
I took away that eventually physical beauty will eventually fade in importance and all that will matter in the long run is your work ethic, your intellect, and your personality. We have the ability to change anything around us at any time, and the more time we wait to do so is more time that we give others to make the same changes we can. We have our whole lives ahead of us and anything is possible if we have the proper work ethic and motivation. Find your strengths, eliminate your weaknesses, and achieve success. Any of us can do it, and all of us possess the skills necessary.
