1. People work in society. In some instances, people tend to be more "robotic" than human in their work. They work, coming to and fro, almost like bees, buzzing along and working for the hive. Here is a point of view from an intern working with insects, and what he says looks alike between bees and the human race.
2. Every want to know what it would be like to work at the San Diego Natural History Museum? Ever want to get a taste of behind the scenes work with insects in the Entomology Department? Then this article is for you!
3. Work. Everyone must go through it. Question is, where to begin? One young man went through an internship experience to learn what 'work' really is. In his article, Tomas Pena will articulate his experience and how it has helped him to understand work.

This article is inspiring because it has information about a big issue, and even though it touches up only a little on the issue, it creates big thoughts for the reader. It also implies that some action needs to be taken (such as not purchasing Apple products regularly or keeping an eye on Apple in case something else environmentally un-friendly occurs.) This is also a reminder of how society is degrading the environment with industry.

This article talks about school bullying and how it doesn't follow the stereotypical rule of 'Bully picking on the Nerd'. It talks about more of the social hierarchy in schools and how bullying can occur between rival students. It also concludes quotes from professionals on the subject (which I think is good for structure and perspective).

This article is about whether or not surgery should be done for OCD patients and patients of other psychological diseases. It includes both pro point of view and con point of view. Supplying both sides gives the ready a better understanding of the situation (although there is always support for a certain side later on in pro/con articles)

Semester 2, Blog 3
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/684923/an_interview_with_famous_forensic_scientist.html?cat=17
The interviewer started with a great intro that got me hooked, and the engine is written well about that Forensic Scientist's work, and what motivates him in his work.
It starts with a conclusion and brings the reader perspective of the interviewer and the interviewee. It also goes into a description of the work that the interviewee has done. The interview goes in a question-answer format

The interview had a great engine throughout the entire story about JK Rowling's perspective in making her Harry Potter books and her social life. Big thoughts went through my mind and I really gained Rowling's perspective.
It begins with an excellent intro, and it goes through a question-answer format, with both the interviewer and interviewee point of view involved. It has additional information in attalics throughout the interview, and content wise its structure is good.

Semester 2, Blog 2
I have read a little bit from the fable called "Our Iceberg Is Melting", by John Kotter. It tells about penguins who need to change where they live in order to survive.
What caught my attention from this tail is that many businesses who don't change usually cannot hold up very long against the changing economical and social environment. This is what the fable is trying to say, change is essential to survival. I have had a couple of chats about it recently even before reading the book and it seems to be essential and applicable to several situations.

Semester 2, Blog 1
The big Ideas that I take from my internship are:
Develop good people skills for work.
Get into a college that is right for me.
Choose a major that is right for me.
Be able to get a good career.
Try to get as much experience so that when the time comes when I need to get a job, I will be well rounded.
I plan to take up as many problems as I can this semester and be successful in solving those problems.

Blog Post Internship FINAL WEEK!!! #1
I appreciate how helpful the internship experience was towards expanding my expectations for college and work. Thankfully there were people that gave me insight into college. Herold, Mr. Berrian, and other adults gave me tips and new expectations to how the adult world works. It seems that a lot of jobs are hard to find now and days. Thanks to the adults I have worked with, I have learned that the more education and experience, the better my chances are at getting a job.

Internship Days 11 and 12/ Blog post Week 3 #2
Blog post Week 3 #2:
The Mentor interview went well. I kept my cool, although when I began I was extremely nervous. But in the end it all worked out. We talked about college, and I was able to hear about his goals. He had originally wanted to go into Herpatology, but life, he said, provided him a different path. He went into Entomology. One of the quotes he used as advice was "Follow your Bliss". I like how he discussed the important for getting into a job that made life worth while.
