Entry#5- local story respond...

 Hello everyone, 

Growing up I always knew that I wanted to go to college. My parents always told me that there would be better opportunities for me if I continued my education after high school and got at least a bachelor's degree. I loved learning so it was kind of easy to make that decision, but I know people who always knew they didn't wish to attend college.

The first article talks about how higher education is extremely important because the opportunities are more if you obtain a bachelor's degree or higher. Seeing that article made me realize how important it is to continue one's education. I honestly thought it wasn't as big of a deal as it is. It is easier said than done, but I think if the government helps people obtain their degree's a lot more people would be willing to continue their education. It's incredibly important for students to feel that if they want to continue their education, they can. 

The second article shows the statistics of median income based on people who got their degrees. People who get their degrees earn more than those who don't. What didn't surprise me is the fact that people who graduate high school earn more than those who don't because most jobs nowadays require at least a high school degree. These two articles clearly stress the idea that it is important to get a college degree whether that be a 2-year or 4-year degree. 

Overall, I believe that getting a college degree is a good idea. I like that the government is putting effort in providing a way for more people to get higher education. Hopefully the goal is reached in the future and students who wish to got to college can.

 Hello everyone,  These days I've been listening to a lot of music everyday. Listening to music helps me concentrate and it also motivates me while doing my assignments. I know a lot of other people listen to music when doing chores or homework, so I wanted to talk about 2 of the benefits listening to music has on the body both physically and mentally.  Listening to music can help boost your motivation when doing something. Apparently, music helps you focus with the task at hand rather than dwelling on the fact that you don't want to do that task. This will clearly help when finishing assignments that you have dreaded, when doing chores, or when you are exercising. Listening to music keeps energy levels up which creates the motivation.  Another way music is beneficial to a person is it can boost your mood. Rebecca Joy from " Benefits of Listening to Music " explains that listening to music releases neurochemicals that play a part in brain function, emphasizing the re...

Entry #2- movies...

 Hello everyone,  I am quite a movie enthusiast and will watch anything and everything, although I do prefer horror films.  Watching movies at the end of the day is so refreshing and it helps me "wrap up" my day in a way. Movies have a beneficial impact on people physically and mentally. While sometimes watching movies is for fun, they can also serve as motivation to some (especially if the movie is about chasing a dream).  An example of this genre is, The Pursuit of Happiness .  The main theme of the movie is never giving up on your dreams. The movie is about a single dad who is trying to create a better life for his son and goes through many hardships. While he is interning at a company, he isn't getting paid. The intern program includes 20 people who all want the job and they essentially have to compete against one another to land it. Despite all odds being against him, his determination finally pays off when he is chosen for the job. This movie is so heartw...
