Letter to the President of Coca Cola

Dear Mr. President/ CEO

i just wanted to say that i believe that if your company was to allow fundraiser more in local business and churches the economy would be a lot better. if your company would get more involved with the community then you would get much more support, at the same time this would help us by allowing the money to flow and improve the economy. lots of places like churches and youth groups are searching for people who would be willing to either sponsor them or even to help with the fundraising projects. i hope that you can send a group of associates to help the community and get involves to try and help out many people who may need the fundraising.

It's Sink or Swim!

I believe that my company would have completely gone under. If now in this recession they are struggling then back then they would of been the first t gone under, because of how people didn't have time to go and spend money on things that they didn't need. People would have been more inclined to spend their money on things that were more important like a car to travel to California and find a job there.

Mentor Interview(not complete)

As Melani Bruce walks into the VMMC (Veterans Museum and Memorial Center) office, her happy and outgoing attitude is felt thought the museum. Hard working and always on the move, she loves to help others and socialize with the people who come into the museum to try and host there events there. Standing tall and Caucasian, her playful attitude reflects her willing to help others but at the same time get the job done. Coming from being the class president in senior year, to going to Spain on an immersion trip and ending up as a receptionist in the museum, Melani has worked hard to climb up the latter in the museum, taking over the job of the events director she has worked hard to get what she wants. Being in charge of managing the many different events that are hosted there, ranging from military ceremonies to weeding and much more, using her experience from being a privet contractor for the Mexican Tourism board, to working at an airport baggage claim, and over coming her back injuries from working at the baggage claim, she has become a tough fighter and isn’t afraid to go for what she wants. I was given the opportunity of being her intern and learning about the big world of public relations. In the first days of my internship I was assigned to shadow her through the day and see what it took to close the deal and have people host there events at the museum.

Part of being in a small staff is doing different jobs and all at the same time. From answering phones to planning events Melani is awesome at multitasking and also doing it efficiently.

Semester 2!! The Bigining of the End

Interview 1:
http://www.ugo.com/lifestyle/2007-fall-tv-guide-chuck-interview-levi


Interview Subject:Zachary Levi (Star from the NBC show Chuck)

This interview was very interesting to me because of how it is just a conversation that was turned into an interview. This was just the journalist calling ZACHARY LEVI and them just kind of going back and forth but the journalist uses the responses he gets from ZACHARY LEVI to direct the next question.


Interview 2:

http://www.buzzsugar.com/Interview-Yvonne-Strahovski-from-Chuck-1870963

Interview Subject: Yvonne Strahovski( From the Cast of Chuck on NBC)

I like this interview because the author really just flat out picks the question he wants and only that. he tries to focus more on the beginning paragraphs rather that editing the interview. This seems like a good idea to include in my interview because I don’t want to have to edit much of what the interview subject is saying.

A Tragic Story

Chris Mcandless was not brave, nor noble. He was yet another inconsiderate man who thought he could take the world by himself. In the end the only thing that could convince him he wasn’t all that was unfortunately death. People need to realize that nature is a symbol of romanticism but at a brutal cost. His death was jus another statistic; accidental death is the third highest cause of death in Alaska. In 2008 332 accidental deaths were reported. Chris was not a noble or admirable person. The pain he cost worth more that the adventure he decided to take, because of his miss judgment of himself he became another statistic and for that his family, friends and the people hew grew close to had to suffer.
John Krakauer mention that Chris came from a “well-to-do family” this means that Chris was expected to have a good life. But on day he decided to just give 25,000 dollars to charity and drop from the radar. What is very interesting to me is why would he do this if he was expected to have a good life. Thousands of people would be willing to do anything to just be able to live in a home that he was expected to live in. According to Census, in 2008 5.8% of all families in the U.S. were living in poverty, and then you would ask why Mcadless would give up his life to just end up in another statistic.
In his travel Mcandless meat lots of people, most of these people grew fond of Mcandless, only to be struck by his accidental death in the Alaska wilderness. Some of these people were pointless to him until he met them. He made attachments that cause for people to have feeling towards him.
Mcandless journey wasn’t noble or heroic. It was foolish acts that unfortunately cause him he’s life. This should be a wakeup call for many people, Mcandless was expected to do well in is live, but he threw everything away to just go on an adventure and then causing him to just become another statistic.
