Know your Audience Anaylysis blog 06/30/11

Know your audience analysis blog.

I learned several things by reading the questions and reviewing the answers. We have a wide range of ages represented in this group, you can tell this by the career paths we have chosen, some are just beginning their journey, some are in the middle, and some are near the end of there journey. Another way you can tell is by the television shows chosen, some are the new, younger and hip shows, while others were oldies but goodies. I find it very interesting that the older shows picked represented simple times in life with family values honored. I had forgotten about “The Love Boat.” I really enjoyed this show back in the day. We also have so many kind and caring people that want to make a difference in the world, this was obvious by the way people were willing to donate their money, and by what kind of physician they wanted to be. We have a lot of people entering the medical field. I was also touched by how so many people's family have influenced their lives, and also found it touching that people wanted to spend time with a loved one that had passed on. Also, the type of physician that people chose to be was influenced by something they or a loved one had been through. Then there was the question, “If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go.” I found the answers to these questions surprising, everyone chose another county, no one wanted to stay here in the United States. We definitely have people who want to travel. Adventure seems to be at the top of everyone's list, that is if they have time and there is nothing dangerous along the path less traveled. Our audience seems to be very diverse, with very unique pasts and even unique futures.

Free Writing for Reading Response/06-29-11

Free Writing:
Writing down ideas for my reading response assignment. I so relate to Alice Walker, in the story “Beauty: When the other dancer is self” I know I'm my worst critique. I'm constantly talking negative thoughts to myself and talking my self out of things. “For six years I do not stare at anyone, because I do not raise my head” I so relate to this, I hate to raise my head, I don't want to look at anyone, I'm so scared they will see my insecurity, my doubt in myself. My confidence has been torn away from me, my father always criticized me, you did not so this, you did this wrong, you did not do this. All my life I never felt good enough. I was 8 years old and a tomboy, I have a cowboy hat, cowboy boots checkered shirt and pants” I relate to this I was my daddy's little girl. I wanted to do everything my dad did.Growing up in grade school I had confidence, I was a tomboy always keeping up with the boys. “ Then the teenage years set in, boy did that change. I met my ex husband several years after this a person just like my father. I was told you are stupid, fat, ugly those words still burn in my ears today. After so long you believe those things. He finally finds his beauty queen our neighbor.After the divorce I see myself as fat, stupid, I take my ex husbands harsh words to heart. I thought you had dealt with the past. I remember. I'm out to re build my self esteem find new friends and start life over. The parells to this story people probably don't look at you the way you think they do. Beauty is only skin deep. What matter is what is on the inside. Worry about what people think of me has made me miss seeing the desert. I forget to live life because I'm always worried about what people think trying to please everyone. I am grateful for what I have went through in life, it has changed me, made me stronger. It still hurts from time to time. I ask myself did this time change me yes it did. It seems we are harder on our selves than the world ever could be.

Freewriting for 10 minutes on subject I believe being childlike

I believe that being childlike is great, you can look at the world with no worries, no timings, no exceptations.  You act up and no one cares, you can laugh which is great for loosing weight and makes you feel great.  Being childlike is believing in things that no one else does.  Means playing all the time and not working.  Oh I like that since I work 50 to 60 hours a week and go to school on top of that and keep up with the yard and house and cooking.  Seeing life through a child is great, you think everything is great and the world revolves around you.  You get to eat almost anything you want and now worry about putting on weight.  You can watch cartoons and no one looks at you funny.  You can go to Disney and no one looks at you funny.  I will have to say I have no kids and my husband and I went to Disney last year and  you can't help but act like a kid.  I worked with kids part of my life.  Life through there eyes is simple.  mom and dad are always there for you and they will take care of you no matter what.  They are creative they think of new ways to etertain there selves.  They love to give hugs.  Oh yea being childlike also means getting to take naps, my favorite thing to do.  Means you run around and scream and no one things your strange, you can wear what you want and no looks at you funny.  You can take baths and actually play in it because you have no time limits of a 1000 things you need to do.  I think I would like to go back to being a kid, and make some serious changes in my like.  Like enjoying school, applying myself more in school and in sports.  Have a bunch of friends and not have a serious boyfriend in highs school just enjoy the experience.    335 words in 10 minutes

My thoughts compared to the Jung Typology Test

Wow! They pegged my personality dead on. I really don't take a lot of faith in these kind of tests, but this one described me perfect. I'm a protector, I feel the need to protect my family, friends, I'm loyal and responsible. I want to be a service to others, I have a warm heart and am very sympathetic. Protector's are willing to work long hard hours and do high-quality work. They take on projects and get it done whenever humanly possible. We value a dollar and save as much as possible. We have few close friends, and we're very loyal to the ones we have.
We are shy and not talkative, which is the way I am with writing. I'm shy and quite uncomfortable with people reading my writings or know my thoughts. I strive to do good work, but don't feel I have the tools to do this with. My spelling and grammar are not all that great.
This is what really surprised me is the career possibilities. I have worked in the religious field (christian pre-school teacher), a secretary and now I'm going to school to be a nurse. I so desire to help people which is perfect to me. When the tornado hit Joplin a few weeks, ago I felt such a desire to go down there and help.
I guess what this test tells me, is that I'm going to finish school (which has always been a worry for me) no matter what happens and I'm going to try and do high-quality work.

Hello

Hello everyone,

This is something I'm doing for my English class 101, I've posted some pictures of my honeymoon, 5 years ago so you can all see where I want to be.  I just love the ocean, and would love to live close to the ocean some day.
