My Technology & Social Media

My favorite social media is snapchat. Snapchat is a mobile app thats core concepts are sending pictures and videos to anyone can be viewed for a short amount of time. This short interaction was designed to encourage a more natural flow for the people interacting. I like it because I can talk to a lot of people through fun pictures and videos.

It is fun because taking pictures and sending it to people is very fun and on snapchat it is very simple and easy. A recent discussion I had on snapchat was with one of my managers at my work because one of our ceiling panels fell down, so I sent him a picture and asked him what to do.

The app that I use most often is the MLB and NHL app. The apps I use most are to check updates on sports and looks at stats. It is interesting to me because I care about sports so much that I am always looking at the apps.

An additional form of media I have used is workday. Workday is an app and website used by businesses and companies to help provide information to employee’s. It works by me getting on the app and it has multiple functions that include my schedule, my pay slips, shifts that are available, time off requests, etc. it makes it valuable to me because it is easy to view how much my paycheck is, what day and time I am supposed to be working and stuff like that for my job.

My Academics

My favorite assignment I did this year was in my internship class. I had to do many assignments and projects this year but this class was definitely the most fun and cool projects. So for my internship I used the explorer program at Violet Township Fire Department.

I would go into the fire station and clock in in a uniform and everything like it was my job, and I would go on runs with the EMT’s and firemen. I would help them grab materials, take blood pressure, help set up and push IV’s etc. When not on runs we would clean up and do house chores at the fire house.

The hardest part of the project was learning where to put everything and where everything was located. We would check the truck every morning that I went there and I would always forget where the stuff went after I got it out. I learned so much through this internship project, and the best part is that I am learning stuff that actually will help me for my future and my career. I am gaining so much experience through the project and it was just so amazing and so much fun.

Me & Visual Media

One of my favorite television shows of all time is Ghost Adventures. The show is about a group of guys that go to haunted locations and investigate them, hoping to collect visual or audio evidence of paranormal activity. Each episode begins with the crew touring the investigation site with its owners and caretakers. The introductions also include voiceovers of the history of the site and interviews with people who claim to have been involved with the paranormal activities there.

The crew then later returns to the sites at night and set up night vision cameras to try and film what is happening. after all this they lock themselves in the location overnight and use many different tools and equipment to try and capture footage of ghosts. The members place objects and shout at them to get them to respond back. At the end of the episode they view there footage and analyze there audio and present anything that is unexplained paranormal activity.

Every friday night the travel channel has a 24 hour marathon of Ghost Adventures, so I always come home from my baseball game and stay up so late and watch the marathon every friday. Its so great because it really is scary and gets you thinking about haunted places and looking for paranormal activity.

Every episode really holds my attention because it is just something different every time and the scary vibes and real evidence they get. It’s kind of weird and ironic because I normally don’t like watching scary movies and shows but the past couple years I have really grown to love this Ghost adventures show.

My Passion

My passion is playing and watching sports. I have played baseball for many years. My first season on a team was when I was five years old. Baseball is the only sport that I currently play on a team for, but I enjoy all sports. I played soccer for Pickerington for three years but quit to focus 100% on baseball.

I enjoy watching football, hockey, baseball, golf and etc. I play many sports for fun just not on a team. I know almost everything there is to know about all sports really. That is why I say my passion is sports because without sports my life would have no purpose.

Growing up from the time I was twelve to this day there has been one professional player that has inspired me more than anything in the entire world. His name is Bryce Harper. He has made me into the person I am today if I am being one hundred percent honest.

Everything that I wear when I play is based off him, my swing is just like his, everything with baseball and basically not with baseball is based off of what he does. I definitely aspire to be exactly like him. Like I said my biggest passion is sports, watching and playing. I will watch any sport on really my life wouldn’t be the same without it and that is why I feel its my biggest passion.
