I recognize Shirley's main point being to connect with professionals to better understand perspective fields and jobs. Despite agree with this advise, I'm struggling to know what I want to do with my life because I don't really have a passion guiding me #RHUB305

Lu's video highlights how to balance the content of the CL and the delivery of that content. Fancy language and too much emotion are something I need to consistently work on in my CL's so I will be using Lu's tips on structuring in my upcoming CL #RHUB305

The section of resume writing that I liked the most was advice on how to demonstrate your qualifications. The text highlighted that you do not have to fit all the primary qualifications in order to get the job. Small achievements have as much impact as big contributions #RHUB305

My research is not at a point where I would like it to be because it's been difficult to find sources that outline the effects of online school during a transitional time in students' lives and not just the overall effects. But I am continuing to research! #RHUB305

The comments Rob Willer made are important to remember when writing our research papers. Language is overall super important and it is necessary to be aware of the experiences of others and the rhetoric used when writing your opinion #RHUB305

The source that I will be potentially using argues that COVID-19 did not affect students learning when transitioning from high school to higher edu. While this study was done in Egypt and not the US, it is an interesting perspective I would like to rebuttal #RHUB305

My paper asks how has online school effected learning during the transitional period from high school to higher ed. A sub claim I am considering is the trend that more weight is now put on the GPA instead of the SAT for college admissions and how this effects learning. #RHUB305

As a resident advisor, I'm really interested in researching the affects online school has had on students education particularly during transitional periods of their education, i.e. middle school to high school and high school to higher education #RHUB305

In Christopher's letter to Obama, he opened with a personal anecdote to create credibility that he then built off throughout the entire letter. The personal anecdote connected with the topic of which he was writing about and that made the letter so much more impactful. #RHUB305

The sheer power of the words and the message presented in MLK's Letter from Birmingham Jail blows me away each time I read it. Something that MLK did that I thought enhanced his argument was calling out individuals by name and then directly rebutting their argument #RHUB305

I felt the tone of Zuckerberg's speech was genuine and sincere. He chose to highlight past mistakes that he has been personally critiqued on and comment on how he was going to implement ways to use his platforms better which is a powerful rhetorical tool to use #RHUB305

In Swales Discourse Community, he defined what characteristics make up a discourse community and how these characteristics are not absolutes in practice. In John McCain's Final Letter to America, he defines America as his discourse community. #RHUB305

King's 'dumbo analogy' was a section of text that stood out to me the most. He comments that fear may cause us to write timidly, much like Dumbo believing that the magic feather caused flight. However, the magic was always inside Dumbo, just like authors and writing #RHUB305

I felt the magical realism elements in Ken Liu's story made it that more impactful in its memory of parenthood and the complexities of the parent/child relationship #RHUB305

[Sydney Pooler @sydneypooler]

@eila_tangerine I believe you bring up the very important topic of understanding when the conversation does not include someone and when to simply watch and listen and learn. It's very bold to assume that someone fits the single story when everyones' lives are so complex and unique! #RHUB305

[Sydney Pooler @sydneypooler]

Adichie's commentary on the understanding that not everything has to apply, or include you in its narrative stood out to me the most. This concept can be reflected in our personal narratives because all side characters have their own story within your story #RHUB305

I liked Freire's commentary on how society has essentially been brainwashed to believe that the present condition of society, and the present institutions (ex. the banking education structure), are perfect and need no change done to them. Denying change is dangerous. #RHUB305
