Do you think students should have jobs?

I have to disagree with students having jobs while there still in school. School is more important than having a job right now. I see it as we will make the big bucks later. If you’re doing everything right then school should be your full time job. We should be worried about passing all of our classes and making good grades on our exams and graduating and having good careers. Then we should worry about finding a good job and having money. But right now we should be worried about school more than anything. Having an education is one of the best things we can have so why abuse that? I feel if students paid more attention to their grades and school there would be less drop outs and more students graduating and going to college. I don’t have a job in school because for one my mom doesn’t want me to have one and she wants me to just worry about school and I think the same thing, I just need to worry about passing all of my classes not how many hours I’m going to be working next week. The last reason I feel students shouldn’t have jobs is because we really don’t need them right now and being a student is a full time job for anyone in college.


I have to agree with students having jobs while there still in school. They might have to have a job because they have to pay for their own school and their parents won’t help them. Or their parents can’t afford to pay for their education so if the student wants to go college they would have to have a job to pay for it. So, I feel like it’s a good idea for students to have jobs. It will make you more responsible and teach you how the real world really works and teach you how to become successful. And it also teaches us that nothing is handed to us and we have to go work for it. I think having a job in school helps keep you out of trouble, even though you will have to stay on top of your school work, it will teach you how to handle different situations when there thrown at you. Also, you will have to work your butt off in your classes and know when you need to take off of work so you can study for your big exams and know when the right times are to do that. But you will have a lot of pressure on you if you do have a job and your still in school.

Reflection on Short I-search paper!!

1. I have learned a lot of useful information from the textbooks, the internet, the lectures we had in class over the short I-search paper. I also learned about the different templates we could use in our papers as well. I takes time to write a good paper.
2. This relates to what I already know because I know you have to listen in class to know what you have to write about and you have to look at your book so you know if your doing it right and i know to use the internet in looking for information. And it does take a lot of work to write a good paper. You have to brainstrom and firgure out what information you want to use in your paper and that takes time to do that.
3.I can use what I have learned in writing this paper in the future because I know i will be writing a lot more in this class and this has prepared me so I can write my long I-search paper.
4.Yes I can apply what I've learned in the classroom to my life. Because I have to write more papers thoughout college and this paper has prepared me to take my time and really focus on what I need to be doing.
5.I got to learn some interesting information about MySpace and Facebook. And that they are different but they are alike as well. I feel like I have grow as a write because of thhis paper.
6.One low point in writing this paper was starting it. I have be so busy with all my other classes I barely had the time to write it and finish it. But I made time and got it done.
7. Some obstacles I had to overcome while writing this paper was not going out to eat with my friends because I had to get my paper done and putting aside time for everything else. Like math homework and public speaking work and also reading homework.
8.I stayed on top of my paper and asked people questions about my topic and I also asked some people to read my paper over to see what they thought about it and to see if i made any mitakes that I needed to fix.
9.I have learned that I need to do my paper first and then worry about everything else. I have learned that it doesn't take me along time to write a page as along as I stick with it. The hardest thing for me is starting the paper. I have always had trouble with that. But after i start it and get it going everything just starts to fall together. The best place for me to write my paper was at mass media. Because it's really quite and everyone is really nice. I just like doing my papers and all my other work in mass media. It's hard writing a paper when you have all kind of other things going on like,having all kinds of other homework to do like math and reading and public speacking,hanging out with your boyfriend,making time for friends and also making time to eat and sleep. It takes a lot to write a page and saying focused on it. But once your focused everything should work out and you should get your paper done. Which that's what I did, I stayed foused and got it done!
