Cinnamon Toast Crunch Commercial

Out of many commercials, my favorite and best one was the commercial for cinnamon toast crunch. In this commercial,  there are two cinnamon toast crunch's and one's mouth gets watery so he licks the other cinnamon toast crunch. Then he licked it one more time. It was about to lick it again since he could not resiste the addicting taste to it but as he stuck his tounge out, the cinnamon toast crunch that had been licked by twice ate the cinnamon toast crunch that was about to lick it the third time. This was persuading because two cinnamon toast crunch pieces are so good that one starts licking another and one eats another. This was also a funny ad. I love cinnamon toast crunch and I am sure that anyone else who watches it will be persuaded by!!!!!

College and Career Unit

We have been doing our college and career unit for the past month or so. It was a really fun and enjoyable topic. We culminated this topic now and we are doing interviews with Mr.Figureoa now. During this unit, we had to do papers such as a resume, letter of recomendation, college essay, job interview questions, and many other worksheets. When choosing a college, I learned that you need to be positive and make sure that the college you are picking is good for you. You can't just pick a college with a good campus but horrible classes or extracurricular classes that seem boring to you. There are miscellaneous kinds of collges and you need to pick one with a good campus, good classes, and good students. For the career unit section, I learned a variety of things. I learned that you must be prepared for your interview by knowing where to go, dressing properly, and having all papers ready. Bring an extra resume incase anything happens. At the interview, be friendly and nice and make sure to give a nice handshake. Know the name of the person interviewing you. Know the job responsibilities and what you need to know how to do in that job. Make the person interviewing you make you an employer by saying positive things about yourself and past. Never be late for an interview cause thats a huge mistake and it will be a big impression on you for the job. Last but not least, remember to write a thank-you note to the person who interviewed you whether you got the job or not. All in all, the college and career unit was the most fun thing I did this year and I learned many new things!!!!!!!!

College Essay

     I have admired many intresting characters that I have read in books. The character I look up to though is Karen from the novel "It's Not The End of The World." Karen is brave, strong, positive, and she believes in herself. She supports her family in many ways. Karen's parents have been divorced and Karen is still brave and strong. Her teacher at school Mrs.Singer doesn't like her, as to Karen. She got bad grades like D's but after all that, she is still strong and ready for action. She always tries to forget about negative thoughts and bring positive thoughts in her head. For example, when her parents got divorced and she just figured it out, she started to get upset but later on, she tried to think about positive things. She believed in herself for trying to bring her parents back together and forget about the divorce. She knew she was doing the right thing and she wouldn't stop till she got her parents' back together in one home as a happy family. Even though at the end of the book she didn't get her parents back together, she still knew she had tried her best level to accomplish her goal but couldn't. For example, just look at the title, it sounds like a positive title. Karen is strong even though many sullen things had happened to her, she knows it is not the end of the world.  I want to be like Karen when I grow up, I want to be strong, positive, and a believer. I know I will accomplish my goals then. Karen is the person I will always admire.
