This assignment requires that we blog about a specific community. Blogging is little different from the forum medium. In a forum you're posting with people with similar interests or circumstances on one topic. However, with blogging, you have a wider audience who may or may not be interested in what you have to say. That's why it's important that a public blogger's post must be both easily accessible and insightful.
When I first starting blogging in high school, I just posted personality test results and used it as an outlet to whine about my classes, the more profanity the better. I haven't really matured, in those four years, but I have attained a greater respect for writing. If I'm going to write, let it be honest and include embarrassing juvenile tidbits.
Anyhow, considering that most of the people who read my blog are EVCC students, I wrote this piece with them in mind. When I decided to attend a community college after high school, I received a lot of shaking heads from my parents and school chums. During my first quarter, I felt those comments sinking in. However, after taking a few more quarters, I'm glad I have followed the community college route. It's cheaper, it's closer than the big Uni schools and the professors aren't elusively working on their own projects.
Hopefully those who were disinclined towards community colleges will give it chance. To fellow peers who have felt demoralized: Sometimes it takes different paths to reach one goal.
