Week Four Greetings!!!

This week in college comp 2 we are learning about APA and how not to plagiarize. I feel that properly citing you resources is a wonderful thing. I was always taught to not take someone ideas and thoughts and make them your own. In my family is just like stealing from a store or lying. I feel that you need to cite your sources because the original author is the one that deserves the credit for their thoughts and ideas. I feel that websites like you tube and Wikipedia do blur the lines of “legally owned” because the original author posts something and then sometime later down the line another video shows up on you tube of the exact same thing that you did. Wikipedia is not a good source either because, others can add to the original posting and we all know that if you had one hundred people in a circle and the first person told the second person that; for example, Laura is pretty!!! by the time it got around to Laura the message will have went from something innocent to something that is not true and hurtful to Laura. A good thing to remember is if you had a remarkable idea or thought and someone stole it and published it; you would not be very happy about it. So always give credit when credit is due!!!

Now some happenings in my life this week!

I am planning a craft day this Saturday for my kids to make homemade salt dough ornaments to hang on our tree and we are going to make a few for gifts. The kids want to make their grandparents an ornament for a keepsake. Also this Saturday is my children’s visit to Santa Clause and our community Christmas parade. Saturday will be a busy day in the Garmon household this weekend. lol Well I am going to end this blog post on a happy note!! I wish all of you a great week and God bless!!!
