You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is 'never try'

I honestly think that anyone who can write their name or something just as simple as a few numbers on a check is considered a writer. It is common for one to think of a writer as somebody who writes stories or novels. This is not the case. Writing is all around you believe it or not; there are just different kinds of writing. Texting, for example, is a form of writing. It would be considered as a non-formal kind of writing. Yes it may be silly to think of this as writing seeing that you might only text a few sentences to a friend or even just ask them what they are doing but in the end you are writing a message to that friend. So I believe in this case you are considered a writer. Even in cases when you are working on a math problem, signing your name, typing an email, or even writing a check you are writing. Every person who can physically write is a writer; it’s just a matter of how one perceives it. Even though I am considered a writer, there are certain forms of writing that I do not like, such as, papers for school. I dislike being forced to write case study blogs on myself and what it means for someone to be a writer. It is just like filling a page with nothing. Is that even possible? The way I feel about this whole thing is if I am being forced to write I’m not going to produce anything useful. Basically the only time I write papers is when it is required for a class or for a job even. I am not one to just write papers for fun. I personally don’t have any interest in that what so ever, although I do like writing songs and even poems sometimes. I often listen to my friends complain about how much they despise writing and they never want to do it, but this never makes sense to me because of the way I perceive the word writing. I would then ask them what they mean and they would respond with, “I don’t know I just hate writing.” So then I would ask them why they dislike writing there name or writing a check. I am just saying this to explain that people perceive the word “writer” differently. This is my opinion on what I think it means for someone to be a writer and why I consider myself a writer.

Oh its a blasty blast, you gotta try it!

After 9/11 struck our country and the immense rise of workplace violence, employers are running to investigative companies in larger numbers. Employers are doing background checks on their current employees and their family members as well. They are especially running checks on positions that were never given much consideration before. Employers are now also requiring security checks for the “high tech” positions such as computer programming.
In these employee background checks, the employer will also do checks on the spouse and sometimes other members of the family. If one of the members or spouse has a criminal record, the employer has every right to decline the application. This is not only true for military jobs or defense contractors, but for the “high tech” positions as well. This could make it difficult for some people, seeing that one’s chance to get a job is determined on their marriage, but a dishonorable discharge from the U.S. military will automatically eliminate the chance of one to get a security clearance.
There are some pieces of information that cannot be given to the employer. This information includes civil lawsuits, judgments older than 7 years, paid tax liens and collections paid after 7 years, and bankruptcies older than 10 years. Employers are prohibited from requiring applicants to provide copies of their criminal records, but they can receive this information from other sources such as, private agencies.

Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand.

Of all my times of writing there have been a few times where my writing went particularly well. I was a junior at Limestone Community High School and it was the grand ole time for the term paper. Oh yeah, that big ten page long paper that every junior student stresses about and the one that is required to graduate high school. Well I was considered one of these stressed out students worrying about the term paper. I walk in the class and the teacher says, “Well class it’s the moment you have all long waited for…the term paper.” Yeah my stomach twisted and turned in ways I thought it never could. I started worrying about what my topic would be, if it would be a good topic, would it be easy to research, and most importantly would it impress the teacher. So I thought long and hard about the topic that I wanted to research and I came up with cyber-bullying. It’s pretty much the same thing as bullying at a school, but instead the bullying is done on the internet.
There was a certain way I went about my work for the term paper. First off, my teacher gave the class a due date sheet and had multiple things due over the course of three weeks. This made it much easier for me to do the term paper. Since everything was spread out, I didn’t feel pressured to have that ten page paper done by a certain time. It was spread out, making it less stressful on me. This being said, I was able to really concentrate on the content that I put into my note cards and eventually my paper. When it the time came to write the paper, it went pretty well. I had all my research done and my note cards as well, so it made the writing part pretty easy. The teacher was also pretty lenient with my class so she gave us a second chance to revise our paper and have it checked again before we turned in our final draft.
So after all the freaking out, worrying, stress, and three weeks of time I handed my term paper in. I felt confident in the research and work that I had turned in. I also believed that I went about my work in a responsible and timely manner. In the end, my hard work had paid off and I was pleased with the grade I received on my term paper.
