ENGL 202D - Fall 2018

Basketball Head Coach at Penn State Abington - This job is exactly what I've wanted to do ever since I got into College. I've grown up around basketball my entire life so for me, I think it would be amazing to give the knowledge I know about the game, to kids to better themselves. A coach isn't just someone who inspires you on the court but also off the court. I had coaches that taught me life lessons and I think if I could change some kids view not only on basketball but also in life, I would be achieving my job. Male Nurse at Jefferson Health Hospital  - A male nurse it a very difficult job to get, but it is very interesting to me.

Helping people in anyway is something that I always try to do but helping people in the way that nurses do would be extremely amazing to me.

Possible Project Proposal #1: For my first possible project proposal I was thinking about interviewing the Athletic Director at Frankenstein University. Rachel Egan would be a perfect person to interview, because being an Athletic Director of any Division in college is something I've always wanted to do.

Although I find this to be my best possible proj...

I've learned that everyone annotated this article different from one another. Some of our classmates only underlined and high lighted what they agreed with or things they thought were important. Were as other classmates underlined and high lighted not only things they agreed with but also with things they disagreed with. Annotating an article can be very helpful and with learning from classmates different ways to go about annotating, it can be even more helpful. Some students would write notes in the open spaces to get a better understanding about the article. They would put maybe a difficult word or sentenced in their own words so that it would much easier to look back at the article and not be confused. It would also help you to do this, for when you are trying to look it over right before the class starts and you see your own notes on the sides, it will bring back the article to you much easier.
