Favorite/least Favorite Assignment

My favorite assignment for Mcom 100W is "In my humble opinion column."

The assignment allowed me to expression on an issue that I feel strongly about.

I wrote a story on Donald Trump because of the way he has been as the president of the United States.

I enjoyed searching for what Trump had said in the past because he said a lot of things that he should not have said. 

My least favorite assignment was "My Obituary" assignment where I had to think about how I die. 

I did not like it because I do not like thinking about death. 

I wrote it as a goal that I can reach in terms of my accomplishment that I hope to achieve some day but I hope I do not get lung cancer. 

Overall the class was challenging and hard at times.

On some days I thought why I had to do this but after taking the class I can say that it was needed to develop my writing skill. 

Final Sidebar Rough Draft

Electronic cigarette comes in many types and names.

The American public knows the electronic cigarette as a device that will help people to quit smoking.

As a college student, I have seen how the electronic cigarette has influenced on college campuses.

"I smoked cigarettes socially. I've only smoked cigarettes a couple of time ever since after I got the Juul" said Kimeberly Su, a 20 year-old UC Davis student.

Smoking cigarettes is a terrible habit.

We have all learned through school and media, the effects on a human body.

But once one starts to use cigarettes, it is not easy to quit.

Electronic cigarettes has been found to be the most effective tool for quitting conventional cigarettes since its emergence. 

The short time electronic cigarettes have been available for consumers, the statistics have shown as the best alternative to quit conventional cigarette.

Besides research, I believe that this is true because I am also an electronic cigarette user.

I used to used to smoke cigarettes and smoke marijuana, most times at the same time.

It was not until I saw a video on the effects of cigarettes on a human lung that I decided to quit.

But like anything else, quitting something entirely was not easy and I constantly went back to smoking.

During the third year at San Jose State, I started to notice a trend.

A trend in a form of electronic cigarette.

The most common brand that I started to notice was the Juul.

The Juul is a thin USB memory stick shaped device that lets the users get a hit of nicotine in vape form by just sucking on it.

One of the attribute that attracted me to the Juul was how simple the device is.

"The sleek design, easy to take care of and maintain,” Su said. 

The design is perfect for those who would like to keep the product as low-key as possible. 

I carry it everywhere. 

The fact that I can inhale vape and have vaporized smoke come out of my mouth is a very similar activity to smoking. 

Proudest Achievement

"We will send you an email regarding your background check. Please get back to us as soon as possible so we can have you come in and do the paperwork," said the hiring manager at Apple over the phone. 

As I hang up the phone I danced and shouted "Yes." 

This was a phone call that I have been waiting for six months. 

I saw a position opening at the Apple store on website Handshake in May of 2017.

I thought about applying for this position back in May of 2017, but I did not think I had enough experience to apply. 

I made it my goal to join Apple by the end of 2017. 

I joined AT&T's sales team in June of 2017.

The AT&T sales team required me to sell its services door-to-door. 

In the sweltering weather, I knocked over 75 doors a day, three times each.

We were out six days out of the week to go out and work from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m.

My feet often got blisters from speed walking around the neighborhood three times. 

The job was commission based so if I did not make a sale, I did not make any money. 

About half of the days that I was out there, I did not make a sale. 

Most neighbors gave me a disgusted look and tried their best to get me off their property. 

I constantly got rejected and was told to get off the property. 

Some even cursed and yelled at me for knocking on their door.

The job taught me how to interact with people in the best way possible under the grueling condition and to be optimistic during the worst times. 

There is nothing more nerve-racking than being in a stranger's house at 9 p.m. trying to close the sale to get some money before the day ends. 

I wanted to give up and quit after two weeks but I had to keep going in order to get enough experience to apply for Apple.

I stayed with AT&T for four months.

It was the toughest four months that I had endured in my life. 

I applied to Apple in November of 2017 and interviewed for the job. 

The interview was a group interview with four interviewees and two interviewers. 

I felt confident as I sat among the rest of the interviewees. 

Doing door-to-door was the hardest thing I have done in my entire life. 

The pressure I felt during the interview at Apple was nothing compared to door-to-door. 

I felt confident as I left the interview. 

I got the phone call from Apple on the same day that I got my interview. 

I have achieved a goal that I was chasing for six months. 

It was one of the hardest four months that I had to live through.

Employment with Apple and the four months that I worked for AT&T is the proudest achievements that I have accomplished so far.
