Wright State has always been a college that I really wanted to go to. When I considered the other colleges, I didn’t find any that best suited what I wanted like Wright State did. I am from a very small town, and I didn’t want to go to a college that was right in the middle of a city or anywhere that was too big.

            When I went on my college visit to Wright State and saw that there was open grass along with space, I felt like this was a place that I could attend college at and still feel like I was somewhat at home. Wright State is not a huge college, and its atmosphere is exactly what I wanted.

            Another factor that played a role in my decision to come to Wright State is that Wright State is an hour away from everything I consider to be essential in my life. My home town and family is an hour north of Wright State, and my brother is an hour east of it. Knowing I could visit either of them and only have to drive an hour really seemed like a win-win situation to me.

            Wright State also has a very good education program, which is what I have decided to major in. Currently, I am trying to apply to the Middle Childhood and Intervention Specialist program that allows students to do a dual major and earn their degree in four years. There have been several teachers who taught at my high school who received their degrees from Wright State and highly suggested that I should attend school here.

            So far Wright State has been everything that I was hoping it to be. I have only been here for three weeks and I already feel like I am at home. I am happy with my decision about attending Wright State and I am looking forward to the rest of this school year and the previous years to come.

"Man in the Mirror"

"Man in the Mirror" is one song that I believe has a very strong meaning behind it. The song is talking about changing the world for the better of citizens. I find this song to have a very significant meaning because if everyone would stop being so concerned about their own lives and take the time to help each other I think that the world would be a better place. I particularly enjoy this song because I like the meaning behind it and it is also a very fun song to dance and sing to. The purpose of this song is to get the listeners to hear the meaning and think about what Michael Jackson is saying. Michael Jackson is trying to get the listeners to help make the world a better place, along with him by making a change. The audience this song is targeting at would be anyone who believes that he or she has the power to make a change in the world. This audience would mainly be teenagers on up who know how to voice their opinions. The genre of this is written as a song. I believe by Michael Jackson singing this as a song it could be more effective because more people tend to listen to music than to read newspapers or magazines. A song is also easier to catch people’s attentions. Michael Jackson’s stance about this song seems very concerned and willing to make a change to try to better the world. Michael Jackson is using multiple medias to help him voice his opinion. He is using the radio, CDs, the TV, and even the computer.

Remember Me

“Whatever you do in life is insignificant, but it’s very important that you do it anyways.” This is the quote that Tyler, from the movie, Remember Me, says frequently throughout his movie.  In the movie, Remember Me, Robert Pattinson plays the main male character named Tyler Hawkins. Tyler has come from a hard past that makes him shut people out in his life and refuses to let people in. Emilie de Ravin plays the female character, Ally Craig. She too, has had a very hard childhood life starting the day she witnessed her mother’s murder. Tyler is very rebellious and feels as if he is alone in the world lost with his feelings until one day he met Ally. Ally had given him a brighter outlook on life and they both shared very similar feelings with each other. The two end up falling in love, and Tyler is beginning to be much happier with his life. During the climax of the movie, some secrets are revealed that about tears the couple apart, which initially had brought them together. The theme of the movie is to show people the power of one’s love for another, and also to live every day to the fullest. Throughout the movie Tyler is also very close with his younger sister, which gives another theme that the power of family is very important in a person’s life. This movie is filled with multiple thrills and has a very unsuspected ending. I believe that this movie is one of the better movies I had ever seen, and I believe that after watching it, others would have to agree.
