  END OF THE SEMESTER This semester was a very stressful one to say the least but the end is finally here. I had a lot of health issues that I had to get taken care of while doing school and it made to be a stressful time. I really enjoyed the time I spent in the class and getting to know some of my classmates and Raab who was awesome. I really enjoyed taking her class this semester she was so kind and patient.  I would recommend her class to anyone who needs to take ENG 102 in the future for sure. The assignments are engaging and relatively easy. This semester had its up and downs but the good news is I should be passing every class by the time the professors put the final grades in and I can't complain about that. College has been a short journey so far but feels like I have got so much done because managing an adult life and school is quite the task. I can't lie when I say I'm looking forward the the couple weeks I will have off but I'll be right back at it as I am t...

  HAS THE WAY I PERCEIVE MEDIA CHANGED? Media is a very powerful tool on the internet or TV and can be used in so many different ways including spreading news, bullying, pushing an agenda etc. I believe it depends how a person chooses to use media is how I will perceive the media.  For instance when I use social media now it is not to push an agenda at all it is to simply grow fighters brands and cover what is going on in the sport of MMA. However when I was a kid I was just like most kids and used it to antagonize and get in to drama. I think if you are using media to push agendas, spread fake news or bully people I can't stand it. If you are spreading real news, pushing good agendas I guess you could say and are helping grow peoples brands as athletes I think the media is good. Media spreads like wildfire no matter what type of media it is. I did a fighter interview one time and it blew up across 20 plus media outlets and had over a million views likes and comments. If you a...

  FAMILY TIME  Family is probably the most important thing to me in the world and outside of my parents and grand parents nobody is more special to me than my fiance and daughter. I have been with my partner for about 10 years since I was a sophomore and 4 years ago we welcomed our little girl Olivia.  She is obviously much bigger now but this is my little family in the pictures above. Through my worst times and best times these are the people who have never let me down. My future wife Maddy has really followed my journey and supported it as I follow my dreams through the world of Mixed Martial Arts. The least I could do for her is get this degree and turn it into something not only for myself but my family. I'm sure a lot of you have the same feeling about your family. In my world they are everything. The memories we make on vacations and going place are irreplaceable. My daughter is the greatest gift from god and no matter what I got through in life she can always put a...

HASHTAGS  Hashtags are a really cool thing to learn how to use especially when you are trying to get a particular post out there for people to see. I know that hashtags are very useful for getting more engagement on social media as well for media and content creators especially.  I tend to use a lot of hashtags as in the field I am in I need all the engagement I can get not only for my content but for the athletes as well to help grow their brand. Before I started media I never really cared about hashtags but my friends sure did. However they have become a big part of what I do on social media. When I make a post some important ones that are must use are things like the fighters name, the weight class they're in, the promotion they fight for and of course #MMA! Those are the most important ones and then of course hashtag the country they are from.  I feel like when it comes to MMA it is important to hashtag stuff that relates to country and culture with fighters who are n...
