Books

Here are three books I have read that influenced me the most:


The Bible -

I read the bible when I was little during church classes that I've taken during elementary school years. This book influenced me by teaching me how to treat others and the difference between good and bad. It taught me how to be a good person and what I shouldn't do to others.

The Diary of Anne Frank -

I read The Diary of Anne Frank in High School and it was one of the books that showed me I was lucky to be fortunate in this world. This book makes me think of how much more worse things could be than how I'm living now and I should be thankful for everything I have right now.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad -

Rich Dad, Poor Dad was recommended by my uncle who is currently in Real Estate. This book influenced me by teaching me things I usually don't learn at school such as the importance of financial literacy. One of the biggest things I take into concideration is my need to work. I need to work because I need to learn, not because I need the money. No matter what, the money will come when you work... it's what I learn from work that keeps me going.

Media Impact

My proposal of a media research project would be on how facebook/myspace affects student's grades. The way I would research this project would be using the random sampling method and choose a certain amount of students from each school in the bay area. I would test my hypothesis by asking each person how many hours they spend on facebook/myspace each day and then find out what their grades are for each quarter/semester. I would do the same for people who aren't on facebook/myspace and find out their grades as well. The results I predict are that facebook/myspace would interfere with people's grades and the people that aren't on facebook/myspace have higher grades than people who are always on these social networking sites.
