What are you weekend plans?
Tonight, I plan to go to the Blue Valley football game and go to a friend's house after. On Saturday I work a double shift at California Pizza Kitchen, and when I get off I am going to go to my friend's birthday party. On Sunday I am going to get a new shirt, khakis, and Sperrys for homecoming. I think that this weekend will be a good one.

Most students view siting work as 'a pain in the butt'. How do you feel about it? Is it necessary? When is it appropriate to cite work? What's the importance of it?
I feel as if it's a pain in the butt. Giving a link to the website is necessary, but including what kind of source it is, the year it was published, all in a specific format is just stupid. It is appropriate to cite work when you use information that is not from your brain that you found on another source. It's important because it gives credit where credit is due.

What is your favorite book, magazine, or publication? Why?
My favorite book is The Art of Racing in the Rain. It is a fantastic story about a dog and his close relationship with his owner, who is a retired formula one race car driver struggling to keep custody of his daughter after his wife died from cancer. the book is written from the point of view of the dog, Enzo, who has very realistic human thoughts and emotions. His goal is to be reincarnated as a human, as the thing he hates most about being a dog is not having opposable thumbs and the inability to convey his emotions and thoughts. It is a deep, thought-provoking book that is absolutely fantastic.

Do you enjoy writing? What kind of writing do you enjoy? Why is writing an essential skill in life? How will you use this skill in the future?
I truly enjoy writing. I have loved it ever since second grade, when we were assigned a short story about Halloween. My teacher absolutely loved it and recommended that I keep writing. Writing lets my mind flow onto a page, unrestricted and free. It is actually one of my favorite hobbies.

What is creating an outline for a paper important? Do you think it helps you personally? How would you prefer to outline a paper - pen and paper or an online tool? Is there a different way you know if that would prefer to organize your thoughts?
Creating an outline gives you an idea of what your paper will consist of. It definitely helps me because I know what order my thoughts will go in on my paper. I'd prefer an online tool, because it allows me to do research and outline at the same time. There is no other way that I'd like to organize my thoughts for a paper. It is simply the best.

Tell me about your weekend. Where did you go? What did you do?
This weekend was very good. Friday night I got off work and was planning to go to friends house but got bad directions and ended up on 191st and Mission, then spent another 30 minutes driving around the wrong neighborhood. I finally found his house and had a good time with my friends at his fire pit. On Saturday, I went to a different friend's house with a couple of people then went to McDonald's. My friend slept over at my house which was a good time. On Sunday I went to mass then work. After that I did my homework and went to Lifetime. This weekend was great, and I can't wait to go to Notre Dame this weekend.

Who do you look up to in life? Why? What have they done to help you or guide you?
I look up to my grandpa. He is one of the nicest and most generous people I know, in addition to being very successful. He has taught me how to treat people with respect, while still being successful. He has also taught me many life and business lessons. I hope to one day be like my grandpa.

What is good email etiquette and why is it essential in the "real" world? How can having good email etiquette put you ahead?
Having good email etiquette is very important in the real world. It means using proper grammar and conventions, formal titles, correct spelling, proper punctuation, and sounding professional in your word choice and sentence structure. In the real world, having good email etiquette could be the deciding factor in whether or not you get a job, increase your networking spread, getting into college, etc. Potential employers/business partners will see you as an intelligent, professional person who is worthy of their attention.

If there was one big global issue in the world that you could fix, what would it be? A cure for cancer? Save the rain forest? Stop pollution? Think about it and then write about it. Why would you choose that specific issue?
If i could fix one global issue, it would be communism. Communism takes away basic human rights to freedom of speech, freedom of religion, right to peacefully assemble, etc. Communist leaders are often cruel and oppressive of the people in their jurisdiction, and give severe punishments tho those who do not follow their rules. It is an old problem that needs to end now. Freedom. Democracy. America.
