Capstone Night
This was a very good experience. This was not as bad as I thought. I thought I was going to be a lot more nervous then what I was that night. I actually had fun talking about t5he topic I love or sport I love which is football. Informing a complete stranger in my eyes to tell them why I love this sport. This was fun like I said and would I do this again if I had a choice? I don't know about all that.

Hazing
If university life is part of your future plans, how do you react to this article? Does it change your previous plans or mindset about the next four, five, six years of your life?
I believe that what I read in this article is very disturbing. I feel bad for all the students that have been harmed or even killed because of hazing. I never knew that this even happened like it does and it is disturbing news. This does not change any of my different plans in the next years of my college career. On the other hand it definitely changes my mind set watching out for my self more then I first expected and watching out for others also that are in need.

What I have Done
This week I have been put on crunch time for my paper. It has been a relaxing time still just editing my paper. Also, reviewing and seeing what I need to add to my paper and what I should take out of my paper. I thought about all the information I have and how much I now know about the sport. From the ouside in.

Transforming the Workplace
Discuss what you think about these matters.
* These key ideas matter most importantly because they are true. Business writer Seth Godin remarks ominously, “If you're the average person out there doing average work, there's going to be someone else out there doing the exact same thing as you, but cheaper.” When he says this it is important because this is so true. For example there are professional guys that cut the grass for like $50. There are also people like me that cut the same yards for $20. When the key points talk about curiosity it is very important. It talks about if you are curious or anxious with the job that you are doing you will work much harder and better. if you have curiosity in your work you will create something and could become an innovator.
* Having technology is the best thing that has happened because it give you continuous information that can teach you. Technology gives us news about what the economy is who is each countries leader, or even just telling us about how to make or create things.
* Being a self-directed learner is good because it shows that you do not need anyone to push you. If someone tells you to do something you do it and learn from doing and then become great at doing it then you become the teacher. These workers become very passionate for there job and become great at doing it. Which then leads to success in life.
* You will become great at life if you get committed to what you want to do to succeed. No one is better than anyone, but that does not mean you can't be better at doing things to get to that higher level.

Egan
1. Assume an active role in life rather than a passive one. The student must actively direct himself, rather than merely following directions.
With this statement I do agree with Egan. I agree with him because he is right a student should direct them selves instead of having to follow someone else's directions. They should know what direction we need to take. We do not need someone to tell us how to dress school appropriate you should know.
4. Develop a wider range of interests -- moving from changeable, shallow, and casual interests in mature, strong, and enduring interests.
With this statement I agree with Egan and disagree. I agree that everyone should try something new and have a wide variety of things they like. I just do not agree with actually developing these new things. You should not have to develop new things if you do not want to. You should try it but make it your choice on how much time you want to spend on your new interest.
In my life I believe me getting ready to live on my own with out my parents is a step of adult hood.
I do believe Sycamore sometimes gives you a chance especially when you are a senior, but for some reason they feel like they have to have authority over every little thing. They do not we know what is right and not if we are doing something that is not like a normal school day but it is not hurting anyone then they need to get over this so called authority they have and move on.

NFL Timeline
For my visual presentation I have chosen a 65 second clip. This clip gives a visual of how football looked from when it first started by showing a bunch of guys wearing ragedy clothes tossing a ball around and basically killing the man with the ball. Then it shows how these players then needed protection so the clip shows the leather era whiched I talked about in my paper. Then the clip all of a sudden changes from black and white to color showing now the present of football. The present part of the clip shows a player that actually plays NFL Football. This is a great commercial for my project because it shows a 65 second clip on what my 10 to 12 page paper is basically about.
