George Bush

Hello, I'm Richard Karre Jr, or just Jr. I'm from Worcester, Ma, more specifically from "Main South". I Moved to the West Side of the city a few years ago, and attended Doherty High School. I Love to play basketball, football, and baseball. My most favorite sport, however, is MMA. I love the UFC and I love fighting. By fighting i don't mean angry reckless street fighting, thats for children, i mean MMA. One day i plan on becoming a professional fighter, and I've recently started training again. I have also never lost a fight, and i don't ever plan on it (unless you count getting your a** beat by your 18yo brother when your 10). My two favorite fighters are BJ Penn, and Cung Le. Other than that, I also plan on trying out for the football team next year.

I want to learn more about how to blog because i secretly love blogging (sarcasm). But jokes aside, learning how to do some of the things this course can teach can definately be useful. Especially learning how to type faster.

Hi, my name is Steven Miller. I am a Massachusetts native. I current attend college for a Business Management degree. I currently have a town job working for the water division. During my first semester of college I decided to join the rugby team, even though I have never played rugby before I was interested in it. I now start for the varsity team as a freshman. The rugby team is not really a team since the sport is not accepted by the NCAA. They do not accept the sport because it is too dangerous. In my personal opinion I do not think it is too dangerous, there are plenty of rules incorporated into rugby that prevent harsh injuries. Rugby is the most physically demanding sport a man, or woman can play. You need a very good diet, one that is high in carbohydrates, fats, and protein. The reason is because rugby players use nearly all of their energy in one day. On average rugby players run at least five miles a game. This is almost like sprinting five miles.  Rugby is a very high speed game; there is no stoppage of play every time someone goes down. There is only stoppage of play when someone commits a penalty, for example a high tackle, or reaching in to a ruck. Also the ball a rugby player uses is like an over pumped football and you through it underhand. Today rugby as a sport is on the rise to become a very popular international sport, and is currently waiting for a bid in the Olympics. To me this is interesting because then teams would not be so strong; they would have to divide their team up so that each person could go play for their country, therefore creating a new competitive game.

            What I would like to gain from this class is that I can upgrade my skills when using a computer. Businesses are very tech savvy; they do use a lot of technologies for meetings, reports, and stock trade. Also I can be more prepared in college by learning more about the features of the computer, like power point, Microsoft word, and other computer applications.

Jordan Babilonia

Hey, my name is Jordan Babilonia.  I am a freshman here at Nichols College, representing sham-town until the death of me #Wack.  I am a different kind of guy; I am nothing like anyone you’ve ever met in your life.  Being unique runs in my genes, my father was born in Peruvian and my mother’s grandmother was born in Cape Verde. I am originally from Newport News, Virginia birth place of Michael Vick, Allen Iverson, Mike Tomlin, and Aaron Brooks.  Even though I claim Virginia as my birthplace I graduated from a small town high school on Cape Cod.  Leaving Newport News I was instantly labeled a “Sell out” but moving out of the inner city of Newport News is something that I would never be ashamed of my family did what was best for me. I am beyond grateful because so many of the people that I grew up with either; spend extended time incarcerated, or in a casket. 

    Not many people know this about me but since I was 12 years old I have been involved with and studied the art of Brazilian jiu-jitsu.  Mixed Martial arts are a major part of my life, fighting is something that I love; it gives me a feeling that (not to sound cliché) is indescribable.  In addition to studying mixed martial arts sports are also a big part life for me, in high school I played; football, soccer, basketball, baseball, ran outdoor track, and played lacrosse. 

     I plan to gain from the class what I plan to gain from every class I take in college, a better understand of as much as possible.  Upon finishing the class I desire to type as efficiently as possible with a minimal amount of errors.  As the course progresses I know that each week we will do the typing test and I plan to practice even outside of class to raise my words per minute drastically.  In addition to increasing the number of words I type, I want to be able to write a blog that people will want to listen to.  I am an extremely opinionated person and I feel that with all of the knowledge that I have obtained through multiple sources I can write a blog similar to that of the one you can find at http://www.lebronj.blogspot.com/.  Each week a writer by the name of “Mr. X” write on a wide variety of topics that all can be related somehow back to famous sport figure LeBron James.  LeBron James is my favorite basketball player.

About Alexander Lewis

Hey everyone, my name is Alexander Lewis. I am a freshman here at Nichols, and I play on the men's ice hockey team. I was born and raised in Canada. Originally from the east coast, my family and I moved to the city of Toronto where I have lived the majority of my life. I am a General Business major and I hope to go into a profession involving law. My biggest hobby is playing hockey. It is a large part of Canadian culture to play hockey, and I have been playing my whole life.

My favourite team is the Montreal Canadiens.
Coming from Toronto, being a Canadiens fan is a sin, and I never hear the end of the harassment from my friends from back home. My father was born in Montreal and I grew up watching them,  and its a cause of many heated arguments.

Although its people gave me a hard time for my hockey affiliations, growing up in Toronto was an unreal experience for me. I was given the opportunity to learn a lot about many different cultures. It is among the most multicultural cities in the world. Just by my house, I was at a corner where China Town, Little Italy, and Little Portugal all met. The kind of people I met, the festivals I attended, and the foods I ate while in Toronto offered me an amazing experience. Over the summer, there is a different festival every weekend. From the Tastes of Danforth (a Greek Festival) to the Junction Arts Festival (a street fair to show case amateur artists), I as able to learn a lot and see so many cool things. I am very grateful for the city I grew up in. Feel free to check it out for yourself: http://www.toronto.ca

I am for the first time moving away from the city I grew up in, and it has been a hard adjustment for me. I like to keep up with news from back home, and I often read the Torontoblog. It has updates and news from around my community. I like to keep up with things so I am not behind when I go back home Here is a link to the blog: http://www.blogto.com/

For this course I want to be able to have a better understanding of computers and technology. In the professional world we are living in today a clear understanding of technology is the key to being successful. I hope this class offers us those tools to move us ahead in the working world

David J. Barnard- Introduction

            My name is David J. Barnard and I was born in Laconia, New Hampshire. I currently live between Gilford, New Hampshire and Lowell, Massachusetts depending on if I stay with my mother or father. I do construction work for my father's company on occasion. I honestly hate doing construction, but it's a pay check and that's why I am still attending school. I am attending Nichols College  in order to get my master's degree. I am a double major in International Business and Criminal Justice. My future plans are to go to law school and become a Corporate Lawyer. I hope that Nichols College brings me the education that I need to get where I want to go in life. I hope to be a very successful person in life and eventually help those who have helped me through the years. 

         I hope to learn a few different aspects from this Digital Applications course. I hope that I can learn how to use a computer more efficiently. I know a lot about computers but I have never really blogged, nor do I use twitter. I have never really found the use in blogging or twitter because if someone wants to learn about me, they can get to know me in person, not through social media. I hope that this course is interesting and I hope to learn new things about blogging and anything to do with computers. 

         I read a blog about two parents that took their troubled daughter to the police station as a scare tactic. The mother’s friend had done it the week before without any consequences as compared to them; they were arrested and charged with child endangerment because they were going to leave her in an unsafe environment. It was a police station, how is that an unsafe environment and what message is that sending to the people of in society? There are other blogs on the internet that talk about how using scaring tactics maybe a very helpful tool to discipline children and there are counterparts that would argue it will have a negative effect on the child’s development. I find this interesting because child safety and discipline are critical to a child’s development and how they interact with their peers as adults.

Lisa Coskren Introduction

Hi my name Lisa Coskren, I am from Norwood,MA. I am a freshmen and my major is psychology. I am also on the womens ice hockey team at Nichols. In my spare time I enjoy hanging out with my friends, shopping, and playing hockey. During this semester I hope to learn how to make a webpage, type faster, and learn more about understanding more about the microsoft offices to help when it comes to all my homework and organizing skills. Back home I work at the Outback Steakhouse as a hostest. I really enjoy working here for several reasons. I am always working on my social skills with the customers. Also a bunch of my friends actually work there so if I ever have a conflict It is always convenient to swap shifts. Back home I really miss my mom Linda, my dad Pat, and my brother Patrick. They are a huge part of my life and im always thinking of them. They are usually at all of my hockey games cheering me on. I choose this link about the Bruins because they are my favorite hockey team!

A Little About Myself

Hi, my name is Lindsay and I live in Holden, MA. I am 18 years old and my favorite thing to do is play tennis. I can't wait for the weather to get warmer and I can go out and hit everyday. I've been playing since I was 6 but I didn't start playing competitively until I was 10. I came to Nichols College to play college tennis and to study Sport Management. I have always loved sports, especially when my first word was "ball."
In this course I hope to learn how to use Microsoft PowerPoint better. I'm pretty good with it but I've always had trouble using different effects and adding things like music and video.
My favorite blog to read is about tennis. It has all the latest news in the sport and is written by reporters for ESPN and TENNIS magazine.

      Hello, my name is Grace Murphy and am a freshman at Nichols College where I am on the women's ice hockey team. I am from Montclair, Virginia which is about forty miles from Washington D.C and am a huge Washington Capitals fan. Living near D.C is actually a lot of fun, there is always something to do. The only thing I absolutely hate about living near the Nation's capitol is the amount of traffic. You really can not take the highway at any time without ever hitting traffic. In my spare time I enjoy hanging with my friends, country concerts, playing hockey, and playing with my puppy,Tracker. He is the best! Since junior year in high school I have worked at the same restaurant called Tims River Shore. It is located right on the potomac river and the main form of transportation to get there is by boat or wave runner. As awful as the hours are (some days from 12pm- 2am), its a great experience to work there. I also have a weird obsession with quotes. I love finding them, reading them, and sharing them.
    I have surprisingly found myself pretty good  with computers however, there are many things I do not know. I feel that this course could help me better my knowledge with Microsoft Office and other programs on the computer.
      I chose to research blogs about the beach simply because I just love the beach. In this blog,  "Blog the Beach"it talks about the all of the Florida beaches including the Gulf, the Atlantic, and the Keys. In words, pictures and videos, it informs the reader of everything there is to know or need about a beach trip there. 

A Inside View

Hey guys,

                   My name is Jonathan Demers and I am a freshman at Nichols College, majoring in Criminal Justice and minoring in Psychology. When I'm older I want to either work for either the Federal Bureau of Investigation or the Drug Enforcement Agency. The reason why I want to enter the field of law enforcement is because I come from a family with a long past I am a product of Chelmsford, Mass. 

 being born and raised in Chelmsford has helped shape the person I am today. I am a very active person I always need to be doing something, if not studying and working on homework I can usually be found hanging out with friends or training for football. I played football for four years at Chelmsford High school; I continued my football playing years here at Nichols College. My music of choice is country, the main reason for this is because my job back home is being a plow truck drive during the winter and the only station that works is the country 102.5 fm. Recently during winter break I attended the Divisional round of the playoffs and watched the Patriots crush the Bronco's, while I wanted the Patriots to win the game I would of liked to see a competitive game from the Bronco's because I'm an avid of Tim Tebow.

Watching last week’s game when the Patriots defeated the Baltimore Ravens and guaranteed a berth to the Super bowl I was ecstatic even I was slightly discouraged when I noticed how poorly Tom Brady was playing. I never felt more confident about Brady after hearing him vow to Robert Kraft that he would play better in the Super Bowl. Mike Reiss the man who wrote the article has been a credited analyst for ESPN the worldwide leader in sports for a number of years. The article spoke about how Tom Brady played against the Ravens and how they will suit up against the New York Giants for Super Bowl 46. I am actually pretty excited to take this class for the main fact of having the knowledge of how to do this type of stuff. Before this I had no idea how to do anything involving computers except word, Google, and Facebook.

hi im Chris Zuloaga

miamiheat.com
  This blog is talking about how the heat are really having truoble with sub .500 teams and they shouldnt have never lets this teams in the game. Also he is saying that the heat look really tired and that they should be because they have played 4 games in the last 5 days. But he are also sayong tha the heat have no sence of urgency which a really bad thing to have if you want to go back to were you were last year, which is the NBA finals. He is also saying that the heat really need to get there teamates involed and into the game flow because when they do that this team will be unstopable. Next he were saying that this years team has alot more dept on the bench then they did last year which last years bench was a real disappointment. Last but not least he was just saying that they should aim for the samething that happen last year if you play your best play in the playoffs they will surely get to the finals and win this year.

Hi Im Evan Jones Uge

Hello, my name is Evan Jones and I am "Uge"(anything and everything thats huger than huge) freshman at Nichols College.  I am twenty-one years old and am currently majoring in Business and Communication with a minor in Marketing.   I live in Shamie Hall and play for the hockey team here at Nichols.  I grew up out of Farmington Hills, MI. I love playing hockey and have been playing since I was three years old.  I played hockey in juniors for the Peoria Mustangs out of Peoria, Illinois.  Peoria is the greatest place in the world and I recommend that everyone visit there at least once in there lifetime.  Before Peoria I play my first year in Minnesota, but it was nothing like playing with my teammates (Uge Vons) in Peoria.  My favorite hockey team is the Detroit Red Wings and my favorite player is Pavel Datsyuk. My hobbies include working out, eating to grow, training to grow, sleeping to grow, and training to eat.  These are words I live by to stay Uge and in shape.  I also enjoy reading, playing the piano, downloading music, playing NHL 2012 on Xbox, and walks on the beach.  My favorite baseball team is the New York Yankees.  During the day I like to study a lot, workout out, play video games and bro out with my Uge Vons on the team.

            I would like to possible own my own business when I am out of college.  I am currently looking to start a basket weaving company.  My mother and father are both from St. Louis, Missouri.  My mother is a Nurse and my father is a commercial director for Caterpillar Logistics.  Growing up, they both put me in a lot of sports such as: swimming, gymnastics, soccer, and baseball.  You could say I was a premier athlete.  I attended Farmington high school in Farmington Hills, MI in 2004 and graduated in 2008.  I have a Maltese dog named Tommy and he is the love of my life.  My favorite color is red.  I have one sister, who lives in Chicago, Illinois and is twenty-three years old.  So far I am enjoying my time at Nichols College and am looking forward for the years to come.  I truly am proud that my success will be Nichols business.

http://espn.go.com/blog/nhl/post/_/id/14070/5-things-2012-all-star-weekend  I like this blog because it is hockey related and it talks about the five keys to the 2012 NHL All-Star Game.  The five things are : Tim Thomas, the Ottawa Senators, the all-star players who turned down their invitations, the collective bargaining agreement, and concussions.  

Hey Guys I'm Kyle Shapiro I'm currently a freshman at Nichols College. Right now I am a sports management major. Recently I have been thinking about changing it, anyone have any good ideas? I am from Amber, Pennsylvania. Ambler is a small town about 20 minutes outside of Philadelphia. While in high school I worked at a snowboarding shop, Coldstone, and for my mothers company. After high school I went on to play junior hockey. The best way to describe junior hockey is a college and professional developmental league. Everyday I had to wake up to train and practice. My weekends and some weekdays consisted of long road trips traveling to all over the country. During this time I learned how to fall asleep whenever and in any position. While playing junior hockey I lived in El Paso, Texas and Helena Montana. In Texas it was sunny everyday and over a three year span I think I may have saw ran about 15 times. Helena was quit the opposite, it was was a really small town with big mountains and during winter time it got extremely cold. Though these to places were very different I fell in love with them equally. My hobbies include Ice hockey, volleyball, snowboarding, hanging out on the lake, and basically all sports. I try to attend many concerts and professional sporting events. Im a hube Philadelphia sports fan, my favorite team is the Philadelphia Flyers. My latest job which has also been my favorite was working for Mercedes- Benz. This job let me drive cars that at this point in my life I would never be able to. Living in Montana exposed me to things that I never thought I would be able to do or even like. I went hiking in Yellowstone national park. While there we took a trip to the natural hot springs. As of that day if I could do one thing for the rest of my life it would be go hiking to the hot springs and sit in there all day.  Heres a link if you ever get a chance to go out there. Yellowstone

In this course I hope to learn how to more proficiently use word programs and excel. I took a class in high school about these applications but retained only the basics. Having these skills will help you in the job world and also applying for jobs and when making a resume.

Hi my name is Chris Perry; I am from Walpole Mass. I am currently a freshman here at Nichols College, and majoring in Accounting.  On school vacations I currently am employed at Polo Ralph Lauren at the Wrentham Outlets.  I attended Walpole High School where I played football freshman year.  I also, did intermural basketball all four years in high school.  While growing up I played soccer, football and basketball. My best sport growing up was soccer, but as years went on I got sick of the sport.  I hope to gain from this course is to be able to master all of the Microsoft tools on our computers.  If we don’t accomplish everything then I hope to be able to know some of the things that computers offers us.

To find my blog I went on Yahoo.com where one of the headings was talking about football and it caught my eye. This blog is interesting because it talks about 5 players, and coaches that are the biggest losers with this years Super bowl.  Two out of the five people who were part of the losers were members of the New England Patriots.  Albert Haynesworth was a member of the team this year but after they lost to the Giants earlier in the year the team dropped him.  The other one is Randy Moss who got dropped because he started arguing and wanting more money.  Another reason I picked this is because Eli Manning can beat his older brother Peyton Manning with more Super bowl rings.  Currently they both have 1 but if Eli can find a way to beat Tom Brady then he will take the bragging rights.  If Tom Brady wins then he will take a lead over Peyton with 4 Super bowl rings.  Unfortunately both of these quarterbacks will be winning the Super bowl in Peyton’s hometown.  The other two are Head Coach Rex Ryan who is the head coach for the New York Jets.  He said a bold statement saying “We are going to take over the town whether the Giants like it or not.” He is known for saying bold statements like that one. Also, the fact that he beat the Pats last year in the playoffs is another reason why he is a loser.  The other is a coach who quit in 2006 and now has a “NFL gig”.  He was hoping to be able to take Tom Coughlin job at the Giants. Now he is disappointed that Tom brought them back because his shot at being the head coach is extremely unlikely.

mike schwartz

Hi my name is Michael Schwartz, I am from Long Beach, New York. It's on Long Island right outside of New York City. My hometown is very beautiful. I am less than a mile from the beach and 5 houses from the bay. It's a city with 40,000 people. I had many jobs throughout high school ranging from working at local restaurants and bars as bus boys but also as a beach cleaner early in the mornings. My favorite thing in the world to do is play hockey.I play hockey here at Nichols as a freshman. If i could i would play until i am 70. My favorite team is the New York Rangers. I love heavy music with a lot of breakdowns which most people don't like. One of my favorite bands is Attila, which I put a picture below. I am a sports management major at Nichols but i would like to double major with business too. I would love to learn about how to resourcefully use a computer to help me become a better student. Increasing my typing speed and learning how to use Microsoft can really help me become a better student and can help for the future,with job opportunities.
       I actually have a few goals for my future already. I want to double major here at Nichols and then attend either Columbia University, or NYU. They are both close to my home in Long Beach and both are amazing academic institutions in which i can obtain my masters. I really want to graduate Nichols with at least a 3.7 GPA so that getting into these high end schools will not be too difficult. I believe it's great to have goals because then you won't be wasting time trying to figure out what you want to do and reaching for the stars is always a great goal because i believe the sky's the limit and if you fail at least you can say you tried and won't have any regret in your future.

Hi, my name is Greg Aselbekian. I am from Southborough, Massachusetts. I’m a freshman majoring in sport management and minoring in business. At home, I live with my step-dad, mother, and brother. My dad passed away when I was six when he lost his battle with cancer. I attended Algonquin Regional High School. Nichols College was the only college I applied to and if I did not get accepted, I was going to work all year, and apply for colleges the year after that. I’m glad I chose Nichols, as I am having a lot of fun and made so many new friends here. I am a huge Yankees and baseball fan, and I would like to work for either the Yankees or the MLB one day. The past two years prior to college, I worked at Stop & Shop and Angry Ham’s Garage. The last three years, I work for the Bourne Braves, a team part of the Cape Cod Baseball League. It is a really cool experience being around future MLB players, as over twenty players from our team in the past three years are playing in the MLB or play for a Triple-A team. In the summer, we stay down on Cape Cod; as we have beach houses in Bourne and Mashpee, where some really good parties are thrown. Aside from that, I enjoy listening to music. My favorite genre is the old rap; mostly rap from the 90’s. Some of my favorite artists are Method Man, DMX, T.I., Nas, and Raekwon.

I hope to gain more knowledge with computers with this course. I also want to become a better typer, as I make many spelling errors when I type, and it is annoying going back and editing all the misspelled words. I would also like to learn how to create my own web page, as I am not good with computers to that degree as it is and adventure for me using Excel.

The blog I chose was a Yankees blog. Being a big Yankees fan, I am on that website several times each day. The posts on the website talk about the latest Yankees news.

About Me

Hello my name is Marlon Bennett; I am from Bridgeport,Connecticut. I attended Bassick High School the home of the lions. There at Bassick I was a part of the boy’s varsity basketball team and I was the captain of the boy’s varsity baseball team. I received the Most Valuable Player award in my conference championship game. I also was the top cross- country runner in the city of Bridgeport. I haven’t had man jobs other than working for my dad in his restoration service business. I’m now a freshman in college and I attend Nichols College were I major in General Business. Here at Nichols I am a part of the men’s basketball team and the school’s paintball club. I chose to attend Nichols College because; it’s a small school that offers many things to their students. I saw Nichols as great opportunity to expand my network and meet new people. So far I’ve met a number of people that I hope to stay in touch with after my four years at Nichols.

In digital application I plan on expanding my knowledge on computers and building on my skill in Microsoft area. I plan on becoming more equipped with Microsoft word and excel and power point.  As of right now I have a general knowledge of the computer’s and how to use them but, I wish to know more about them.

My first blog ever is going to be on my favorite Athlete all-time Tom Brady. He was recently featured on the cover of the magazine Sport Illustrated. According too ESPNBoston.com Tom Brady being on the cover is a jinx. In the past its been proven that there is bad luck when a New England Patriot is featured on the cover of the magazine. Fans are now nervous because of the latest issue. Inside the magazine it talks about the patriots dedicating the season to the owner wife Myra Kraft and how important it is to win for her.

My name is Katie Reid and I am from Stoughton,Massachusetts. It is small town where I live with my mom and brother. Although many people do not, I personally love my hometown. I went to SoutheasternRegional Vocational Technical High School, where I studied Business and Marketing. I was a member of DECA, where I competed in two district and state conferences and ran for state officer. I also competed in a SkillsUSA district conference. Competing in both DECA and SkillsUSA has made a positive impact on my life. It has helped me with public speaking and professionalism and also prepared me for the world of business in a fun and exciting way with my friends. Dancing and cheerleading have been a huge part of my life for eight years. In the past, I have worked as a secretary at two insurance companies.

I think that this Digital Applications course will be pretty beneficial to me. I am okay with computers, but I could definitely work on sharpening my skills. Microsoft Office is something I can work with very well, but I think this course will help me in keeping up to date with all the features it has. My overall goal is to learn as much as possible about computers and programs, and also sharpen my skills from taking this course.

I chose to research a blog about food because I love eating. I do not cook often, but I still enjoy reading recipes and learning about food. The blog I found was New Taste Today. It talks about different recipes to try and also gives information about food, such as new foods to try, information about them, conspiracies, problems, reviews, and food in the news. It is credible because it has positive reviews and has won awards as critics and newsworthy bloggers.

Brian Ford - Intro

My name is Brian William Ford; I’ve previously worked as a landscaper, apprentice electrician, electrical supply deliverer. I am a freshman at Nichols College, and am studying sports management. I enjoy sports in all forms. I played hockey, football, and baseball as a child growing up. That all changed 3 years ago when I tore some ligaments in my thumb and knee and also shattered my shoulder so I decided to start to pick up the European game known as Rugby. Rugby is now my life beside School and Success.

 This blog was started because of my enrollment into a digital apps class at school. I hope to learn more about PowerPoint, general computer awareness and also a more confident mind set while I’m working on a computer. I also have to take this class to receive a degree from Nichols College.  I have very basic general knowledge with computers and am looking forward to further expanding my skill and knowledge with a computer and all its different functions and programs.

For the first blog I choose to follow, i decided to go with ESPN.com. The espn blog gives timely sports updates. Also the blog gives in depth analysis on all my favorite teams. Some blogs only cover one team or one league while espn covers all sports and all leagues. This is why Espn is useful because as I said earlier I’m a Huge Rugby Fan and need coverage from the National Football League to Ireland Rugby. Espn also allows its viewers to view international soccer, major league baseball, and the national basketball association and even bowling articles. From the blog you can access all sorts of videos and interviews with various athletes and coaches. In my opinion the national football league is the most exciting, jaw-dropping spectacle in all of sports. There is hard hitting action and seamless touch passes along with elusive running that makes football a great sport to read about. There are so many players on so many different teams that players are always being exchanged and relocated into new markets to do new things. Without the espn blog it would be impossible to keep up with everything that goes on in professional sports every single day.

About Me

 Hey my name is Jared White. Currently I am enrolled in Nichols College in Dudley Massachusetts. Accounting is the major I have picked to strive for at Nichols. Though I am in Dudley Massachusetts I was born and razed in Roslindale Massachusetts, which is located in Boston if you didn’t know. Freshman year at Nichols College is an experience I am enrolling my self into. This is my second semester as a freshman and hopes to make it the next three years here. This school doesn’t offer my sport and hobby of choice this would be boxing. For the last six years I have been training in the boxing gym in Hyde Park. It is the one sport that I had natural talent in. this interned made it the sport I love and will always do. This coursers we are taking right now that is making us blog, this is not a bad thing, I hope to gain the ability’s to blog properly and intern find blogs that will help me to understand what is going on. Also just the fact of being able to monomer throughout a computer with word, excel, and power point I hope to be able to learn things I don’t already know how to do. Making a web page is something I was interested in learning how to do just for the sheer fact it looks fun to have your own web page. So this class I hope will show me the right way and most afferent way to make a web page.Floyd Mayweather is my favorite boxer this is based on he is the only boxer still today that is undefeated in the ring. He has the moves and the talent to take on any opponent. I look to him to keep pushing in my indexers of boxing. Also Manny Pacquiao is an ideal of mine. If Mayweather and Pacquiao where to fight it would go down as the greatest boxing match in the history of boxing. Though I would become a professional boxer I will always look up to these two great fighters and wish I could have the chance to face one of them in the ring.

Hi, my name is Tia Ferraro. I am from Shrewsbury, MA. I have one sister named Lexi who is also one of my best friends.  I can tell her anything. She is a sophomore in college. She goes to the University Of South Carolina. She loves it down there. I also have two bulldogs named Bella and Bentley. I went to Shrewsbury High School. During my High School years, I had a blast.  I played basketball during my Freshman year and then focused more on playing softball for the four years I was at school. When I was a Senior, I decided to go to Southern Connecticut State University and play division two softball there. I didn't enjoy it like I thought I would. I decided to transfer to Nichols College because I heard great things about the school. My father went to Nichols College when he was younger and now seeing how great his job and life are, I wanted to have a great career like him and attend this school. When I came to visit this school, I fell in love with the campus. So far, I am really enjoying myself. Even though I am a commuter, I’m having a blast. I have made a lot of friends so far. They are really nice and outgoing. Most of them remind me of myself which is really funny. Besides from school, I love having fun. During the summer, I go to Cape Cod, which is about two hours from Shrewsbury, Ma. It’s not too bad of a drive. We bought a beach house when I was seven years old and its located in Dennis, Ma. I rarely go back to Shrewsbury during the summer because I am at the Cape the entire time. It's a whole other world down there. It’s beautiful. You can't even put it into words. If you’ve never been to the Cape before, you can do a number of things like going to the beach, go karting, mini golf, kayak, and so much more. These are basically the important things you need to know about me.

Hi I'm Courtney,I am from Oxford, Massachusetts, it is like two towns over from Nichols College. I am a sophomore and I just transferred in last semester from Eastern Connecticut State University. I am majoring in sports managment. As for hobbies I play softball, it is my favorite sport and I played last year for Eastern and we ended up going to Nationals. It was an awesome experience. I just love sports in general, I like to play basketball as well. I also love to watch hockey especially the Boston Bruins, it is my favorite sport to watch. I wish I could play, though. What I hope to learn from this course is how to use excel. I'm completely new to excel. I'd like to learn how to use other programs as well.

The blog that I found is the official blog of the Boston Bruins. The first post on the page now talks about their shootout win against the Philadelphia Flyers. They are kind of a rival for them now because of past playoff series against them. It was a great win though, for them and it was also a high scoring game, where at the end of regulation it was tied 5-5. It was a good win for the team though.
