@AhmedYassin96 Hi Ahmed, I also did not realize the importance of a cover letter. I think having a strong cover letter shows dedication when applying to job’s/internships.

In yesterday’s class I learned what a Curriculum Vitae is. It is a comprehensive statement of your educational background where you state all your credentials. I like the formatting of CV’s because they can be as long as they need to include all experience history.

After watching Jeff Su’s YouTube video on cover letters I realized how important they are when applying to a job/internship. It gives you the opportunity to let employers know additional information about you other than all the jobs and roles you had previously. #RHUB305

In class I found our discussion about the pros and cons of working and grad school very helpful. There are pros and cons to each but based on your career goals they can have different impacts in achieving those goals. It’s important to weigh the options and choose wisely.#RHUB305

@kaleen_orlowski I also think network is extremely important in the workplace. Making connections with friends, professors, and colleagues can help open opportunities to connect and help you grow in your career.

@Maya50187840 I noticed this too when reading the article. I think that is important to note because he uses logos to push his point forward.

The Paradox of Innocence poses an interesting argument against abolishing the death penalty. Merriam argues that more innocent people are punished under the death penalty. By not abolishing it, more resources can be allocated to criminal defenses to protect the innocent #RHUB305

I found the user interface for the library resources very easy to navigate. It provides all information you need for research articles, citing data, and inter-library loans if required. I found it especially helpful that they have tutorials to follow if needed. #RHUB305

@isavillegas_ I also felt deeply saddened after reading this letter. I think the use of pathos was very heavy in this letter and was able to convey the emotional tramua African American have to live with in America.

After reading “the gritty reality of mental health that sdsu leadership fails to understand” by Nikki Durham I realized how discounted the students feel. Students who struggle feel SDSU needs to provide more support and speak out about the reality of mental health. #RHUB305

The letter written by Elon Musk's team was overall well formatted and concise. Musk's legal team used specialized language to cite several reasons Musk should not pursue the agreement with Twitter. #RHUB305

@Ttrentie1 His character development has always been astonishing to me. His stories are captivating and inspire me to be a better writer. I think his comment about Alzheimer's is also interesting, I never thought about how that could be a writer's worst fear.

Stephen King is a very inspiring writer. It was interesting to read his short story about writing. His statement, "you must not come lightly to the blank page" made me realize writing is a creative act. The process is meant to be fun. #RHUB305

Something that stood out to me after reading The Paper Menagerie was how embarrassed Jack was about his Chinese heritage. It makes me sad when people feel ashamed of their culture. Themes of resentment, prejudice, and acceptance are apparent in this story. #RHUB305

@BettyDo23162337 I also thought it was interesting that the video was from 2009 but was still very relevant. I believe people should explore all aspects of a story, topic, or person to fully understand it for its entirety.

#RHUB305 Narrators have a very important job of telling a story. Based off the video and chapter today, I realize how crucial it is to tell a story from all sides and not just one. To avoid the creation of stereotypes and oppression.

Adichie’s danger of a single story made me realize that the stories we are told as children significantly impact our social development. Children's understanding of culture can often begin with one-sided stories that influence our beliefs, and ideas of social norms.#RHUB305
