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.
