The EEO (Exceptional Educational Opportunities) is an outstanding program. It’s a six weeks program that is a great beneficial experience. Being in this program will help prepare you for the fall semester. You will learn a lot of difference things that you will need to know when you start in the fall semester. It is a lot of hard work but it’s all worth it at the end. Also being in this program is a head start of the game, you will be way ahead of the regular admission students that starts in the fall semester.
In addition, you have to put a lot of hard work and dedication into this program. Having a positive attitude in this program will help you get far. It is important that you attend classes’ everyday and being on time. You can easily get distracted and fall behind, so keeping focus at all times is very important. You should not get carried away from your social life. The work load is very heavy; you will be up very late at night doing homework and studying most of your time. You will have homework from each of your classes, and sometimes a class required you to do a certain amount of lab hours that you will have to complete. If you don’t do the lab hours, you will automatically fail that class. You will have classes, workshops, tutoring, appointments with your advisor and peer counselor. So having a good time management is the key, you will be organized and everything will flow smoothly for you.
Keep your grades on point is extremely important, because if you mess up and don’t take your classes seriously you can get omitted out of the program. You will be tested on everything you learn in all of your classes at the end. Staying alert will be an important factor in this care. If you lose focus in your class, you will be lost and won’t know what to do. Making sure that you stay alert in all your classes is very important, because you will have finals the last week of the program. Maintaining a high GPA will keep you at the top. You GPA in college are one of the most important things. If your GPA drops below a certain average you can get expelled from the University or be put on academics prohibition. It is important that you follow directions and do what you have to do at all time. Your academics are very important in this program. You have to try and do your best no matter what. If you put your mind to it, there is nothing you cannot accomplish.
From my experience as an EEO student, it is a lot of hard work and fun at the same time. You learn something new every day. It is a great experience on what to expect from the college life. You learn that college life is no joke. It is very different from high school. Now you are on your own, and there will be no one there to tell you what to do, it’s all going to be your choice to make the right decision. Living on campus was a great experience. It really prepares you not only for the college life, but for the “real world”.

Visual Analysis Essay


The website I chose to analyze and critique is www.collegetermpapers.com. Fonts, colors and graphics are very important elements in a website. This element brings life into the website. It persuades people to click on that particular website. The home page of this website is very interesting. It’s not the most eye catching website, but the page still has a unique attraction to it. Making a website look attracted is what brings the audience. Without any of these elements, people would not find the website interesting or eye catching.
The first thing that you will notice on the page is the colors. The colors are s few different shades of blue, red, and white. The color on the website is what brings it out. All the color is a blend between the background and font colors, along with the colors that are in the graphics on the page. The website has a background that has stripes that are blue with a mixture of white. Some of the stripes in the background you can see and some stripes are translucent. The website has a layout that is very simple and easy to read. You won’t have any trouble finding what you need. It’s broken up into three rectangular sections. The colors are very noticeable because there are so vibrant. There are also neutral colors on the website, which I think make the website a little more sophisticated. Also the colors used on the website makes the fonts and graphics stand out. It doesn’t make the website boring. It makes the website looks very unique.
In addition, there are many graphics added to this website. There is a picture at the top left corner, where there is two girls smiling with a book in one of their hands and behind them is a circle glass that looks almost like a c.d. Also on this website there is a white glare at the top of the page, which makes it attracts people. There are many different shapes and symbols on the website. At the bottom left corner there is a girl reading a book. The graphics used on the page, makes the page looks well detailed and to the point of the website.
In my opinion, I think the websites has these graphics because it has to do with the whole idea of the website. It has college students, books, and papers to show that what the website is all about. The graphics makes up majority of the website. It’s a way of persuading college students to buy terms papers. Also using graphics on the website helps people to interpret what the website is all about. For example, it’s like playing the game charades; you watch and interpret what someone is acting out.
Some of the fonts are small, and the bigger font is the important details. The fonts on the website are easy to read. I think they used a simple font, so the website wouldn’t be so confusing to read. Using simple fonts will encourage students to use the websites. The simple fonts on the page, will make the website easy to comprehend and to the point. Also it is more presentable. The fonts on the websites are different sizes. The main topics are bigger, and the fonts are a little smaller for the minor details on the website. Having the fonts different sizes, makes it easier to find things, and for certain important details to stand out. It makes the page looks less confusing and everything doesn’t look jumbled together.
The different types of color, fonts, and graphics used in this website, are what make it up. Without these particular elements the website would be nothing. It part of the reason why it caught my attention. These are the main things that a website should have. It makes the website flows smoothly. It influences people to go and look at the website. Especially if a website a trying to sell something, this element helps a lot.

This red rectangular wallet is very thin and sleek. This wallet has a smoothe touch to it. It feels like ur touching a smoothe table. It has a very delicate touch to it. You feel the touch of a leather material. It also has a alittle slippery touch to it, because the wallet is so smoothe. It was smoothe and shiny.

"Breaking Rules Essay"

Writing 0110


The rule I chose to write about is dressing inappropriately at certain places. There is certain way an individual should dress at certain places. Certain places have certain attire. It’s something that is common sense, and you should know of. For example, if you are going to school, you should dress like you are a student. You shouldn’t be wearing something that you would wear to a party or to the beach. I think the way you are dressed, is the way people will judge you. If you wear something inappropriate to somewhere you should be dressing conservative, people will look at you the wrong way. It’s almost like “judging a book by its cover”.
In addition, certain individuals that are most likely to break these rules are teenagers. Teenagers usually have a different style compare to other age groups. Most teenagers usually don’t care what others think or what they wear. An elderly person would look at them the wrong way, because older people and teenager have different ways of thinking. Also a teenager will be most likely to break this rule, because they don’t know any better. In my opinion, they probably don’t have any respect for themselves. If you go somewhere and you end up breaking formal attire, you could get kicked out. Dressing inappropriately is showing no respect to others and yourself. Breaking this rule will show that you are, uncaring, careless, have no manners. Also breaking this rule reflects how you were raise, and what type of person you are.

http://www.collegetermpapers.com/The homepage of this website is very interesting. It’s not the most eye catching website, but the page still has a unique attraction to it. The first thing that you will notice on the page is the colors. The colors are s few different shades of blue, red, and white. The color on the websites is what brings it out. All the color is a blend between the background and font colors, along with the colors that are in the graphics on the page. The website has a background that has stripes that are blue with a mixture of white. Some of the stripes in the background you can see and some stripes are translucent. Then there is a picture at the top left corner, where there is two girls smiling with a book in one of their hands and behind them is a circle glass that looks almost like a c.d. Also on this website there is a white glare at the top of the page, which makes it attracts people. There are many different shapes and symbols on the website. At the bottom left corner there is a girl reading a book. Some of the fonts are small, and the bigger font is the important details. The website has a layout that is very simple and easy to read. You won’t have any trouble finding what you need. It’s broken up into three rectangular sections. The graphics used on the page, makes the page looks well detailed and to the point of the website.
At the top and bottom of the website there are two boxes that say selecting a topic. In the middle there are lists of different topics on every subject that you can choose from. Under that there is a little box, which is the search box on the website. It allows students to go and type in any subjects that aren’t listed. This websites in my opinion has a bad appeal. It will let students take the easy way out of writing a term paper. They will not be learning anything buy buying their paper off the internet. This website is beneficial in a good and bad way. At the right side it has a list of data base, links, and free essays with 5 bullets under them so you can pick what exactly you’re looking for.
There are many different websites that college students can get free term paper from. The website appearance tries to catch the student’s views. The website I chose is about college papers. On this particular website you are able to buy college term papers. Basically it’s an easy way out for students. On this website you are able to choose from any topics you are looking for. In addition you don’t have to pay, its free for college students on this websites. So they could get how much term papers they want for free. It has the word “free” bold and big on the page; I think that one reason why it makes the page appearance so eye catching.
