Self Selected Response

I logged onto my computer and went to Google so that I can start my homework. When I went on Goggle Yahoo.com popped up onto my screen and a interesting title appeared. "What Texting Does To Your Spine (OMG!)" and i said this seems interesting because I text and I know that many teenagers in this society as well as young adults text too much. The article said that According to a new study in Surgical Technology International, craning the neck over a cell phone to text, tweet, or check Facebook can exert an extra 60 pounds of weight on the head of an adult, leading to potential spinal problems. Reading this was very interesting and to me because I know people who send hundreds of thousands of texts a week. The article also said Most people spend two to four hours a day on phones and other tech gadgets (that includes Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Snap chat,YouTube, and ect) , resulting in at least an extra 700 to 1,400 hours of stress on the neck and spine each year. I don't text a lot and try not to because I know it is a distraction and i'm happy I don't because of reading this article. Now I will be very mindful when I use my cell phone and electronic devices that have my neck craning and I hope you do to.

My ID Post

     This year which is my senior year I have 8 classes. I have Ms. Tomlin which is government, Mr. Rich which is statistics, Ms. Hegeman which is my English class, Ms.Young which is my college readiness class, Ms. Bartoli which is my forensics class, Mr. Gillespy my physical education class, Mr. Dejean which is my art studies teacher and Mr. Washington who is my community service teacher. In Ms. Tomlin's class we are learning about the government. So that means were learning about the federal government, Supreme Court, voting and ect. We had one project so far and one coming up. The project coming up is called "Analyzing a Supreme Court Case" in this project we have to research, write, and present a Landmark Supreme Court case. We have to have a written report and a power point presentation. I think the purpose of this government class is to inform us on ideals of government, the foundations of the US government, the United States Constitution, and Federalism. This class will help us in the real world because we need to know about our government and history as it changes day by day. I believe all my classes are important in a different way and will help to shape our senior year.
