Journal#50 Word Spam You are the network administrator for a rather large company. You have a young family and need your job to support them. As part of your responsibility as a network administrator is to monitor the emails for the organization. Usually this just means occasionally allow through emails for staff members that have been accidentally blocked by the spam filters. One day you get a helpdesk request from a staff member asking for an email to get released. Normally it’s standard procedure except this time the request has come from the wife of a very good friend of yours. You recognize the name on the helpdesk request so quickly attend to the problem. As part of the procedure you need to manually open up the email to ensure that it isn’t spam, so you do and you discover that it certainly isn’t spam. You find that it’s actually an email to your friends wife from her lover. You scan the rest of the contents of the email and there is no doubt that she has been having an affair for some time now. You release the email, but you can’t decide what to do. You’re initial reaction is to call your friend up and tell him about the email, however you quickly realize that company policy is very strict about revealing the contents of confidential emails of staff members regardless of the contents and unless someone’s life is in immediate danger, under no circumstances are you permitted to reveal the information. In any case you know that revealing this information presents great risk, because even if you don’t do it directly, there is a good chance that the dots will be joined somewhere along the line and you will be found out. However you feel that by not telling you friend that you are aiding his wife get away with adultery and this troubles you greatly. What do you do??

       I would have to think about it, and what is the decision that I have to do, because as a friend i know what I have to do. But if I need the job to support my family, I probably would think that I shouldn't do it. If it speaking up would cause me my job, I would have to sit down and think about it because I want to do the right thing. 

     I would first spam the message and not say anything about it. So that nobody finds out what I already knew. I would ask someone like my sister to help me and tell me what the right thing to do is in that type of situation.

    I would probably look for another job, and then tell my friend. Because if my husband would do that to me and someone knew I would want them to tell me. But if I can't find another job, I probably wouldn't because how going to support my family. I need to put them first.

Describe and explain what is the one thing you like the most in this class? What was your least favorite and why?  What is the one thing you would improve about this class?  How?

Use the word rigorous, in your essay.

   My favorite thing about this class is learning knew things on the computer. And finding out what things I can do with them. I like the people i sit next to, if I don't know how to do something, my neighbor will help me, and I'll help her. I also like the easy extra credit points that we are given, especially the I.D. extra credit points. I like when i ask a question and Mr. M gives me a rigorous answer. 

    My least favorite thing about this class would be my grade, and having to do the journals. I know i get lazy and push the journals to the side and work on my lessons instead but I know the journals are worth a lot of points. I'm barely passing with a D and it is a very low D and i know I have too get that percentage up. I also don't like some of the lessons that we get, but i try and finish them to help my grade.

   Something I would change for this class would be the journals because I really don't like the journals. I would also try and ask students if they need help with any of the lessons that we are working on. I would want them  to be comfortable enough to ask me questions.

November is "National Peanut Butter Lover's Month." A large number of students today are allergic to peanut butter. Some classrooms and/or schools have even become "Peanut Free" zones. Do you think this is fair for the students are not allergic to peanut butter? Explain your thinking. Are you allergic to anything? What measures do you do to avoid contamination?

Use the word Hypoallergenic, in your paragraph.

 

 

 

      I think it is not fair for people who are not allergic because some peple happen to be very big peanut butter lovers. They should have a label that says it contains peanuts, or something, take caution, but not ban peanut butter or anything with peanuts, because some want to be able to peanut butter, and they wont be able too.  

 

    I would make a line in the lunch area that has food with no peanuts in it. Yeah maybe it will more work, but it would be fair for all of the students in school. Both for the students who are allergic and those who are not. I know it's a procaution to those hypoallergenic students, but it's not completely fair.

  

  It's not fair to those who are not allergic to peanut butter, because some like peanut butter and they wont be able to eat it because of the other students who are allergic and because of the school that has banned peanut butter, or any type of food that contains peanuts in it.

Describe your future plans and goals? How will you accomplish them? Are you on track to reach these goals? What are some obstacles that will impede fulfilling these objectives?

Use the word impede, in your paragraph.

    My future plans are to go and graduate from usc, and become a doctor. I would like to work in a hospital, but I would be a general doctor. To ocomplish this goal, i know i have to be serious and try hard in school and get good grades, and I know it wont be easy but i know i can do it because I know I am smart enough to do it, no matter what others think.

 

  I think I am on track to reach these goals, because I try hard in my classes, and i try my best to undertsand what we are doing and i try to get good grades, i get's hard but I know that I can do it if i put my effort in it. I know I can slack off sometimes but who doesn't, but only I know I can do it.

 

  Some of the obstacles i fear is not passing this class, i have a really low D and i know a school like usc wont want to see a D so i know i have to get this D up. I've been trying to do all my lessons for this class, and i hope I pass this class. I know there will be a lot of hardships a long the way but I know I can do it. I know a school like usc is very expenisve, but i know there are scholarships that I can apply too.

    Do you think we should have a final for this class? why or why not? What is a good measure of what you learned this semester?

 I dont think we should have a final for this class because we should be able to focus on the other subjects that traditionally we only have finals for. Some people dont have computers at home, so they wont be able to practice how to save, do certain things with the computers, and most likely they will fail.

   I think i have learned a lot of things that have to do with computers. I learned many things that i didnt know how to do in the computer before I took this class. For example i didnt know how to do some of the lessons, but after this class, i know i could be able to do them.

   

       Plus, another assesment for another class would be a lot more stress on us, having to study for almost every class that we are taking, and it would be a lot of stress on us. Finals are already stressful, an extra subject would be kill us.

If you could be either the most attractive, the most athletic, or the smartest kid in your class, which would you choose?  Why?  What are the benefits?

Use the word vanity, in your essay.

    If i could choose, i would be the smartest kid in my class. Because being the prettiest it wont really get me anywhere in life. I would be the smartest kid in my class because i know i have a safe future due to education. And i would feel good knowing i am very smart and being told that I am bright. Vanity isnt my thing.
 
    Yeah, if im very athletic I can get sport scholarships, but i feel like it would take a lot of my time and i wouldnt be able to be to do my homework. The pressure of sports, games, events, and school would be too much for me. Plus, sports isnt my thing.
 
     I would want to be the smartest kid in class i know i would be able to get into a good school, and have my dream job, which would be to be a doctor. I would feel confident with my future, and i would have more confidence of being successful.
