The best place to start when trying to find or research an authoritative source is with an expert in the subject matter. When trying to find this information on life things can become very tedious.  According to Constant Contents' blog titled How to find an Authoritative Source it stated to "Never quote Wikipedia as a source". I believe this is mainly because anyone can write or edit the information. However, you can use the sources listed to do research and verify the accountability of anything that you have found. Google is a good search engine but I found you have to be specific to return the results you are looking for.  In the essay Googlepedia Randall McClure touches on research and credibility. If you are using the internet for research purpose you have to be sure the information you are using is accurate. McClure stated "Understanding the credibility of a source is a habit of mind that should be practiced in your first year composition course has value way beyond it." I don't have much experience in writing but with repetition and forming the habits McClure was speaking of in his essay I will become a better writer.

I have to say I was not sure if I was going to make it through this term. This was my first experience with online learning and I was very nervous. I am happy to say that the experience was great. I learned more about how to write a document correctly and how to use the MLA format.  MLA and the works cited portion was the biggest obstacle for me. I feel confident now that I am able to execute it more effectively. I like the fact that we were able to interact with our fellow classmates. It should me that I wasn't the only one struggling and made me want to keep pushing forward. Writing is something that I have grown to like so I hope that I can take the skills what I learned with MLA and how to correctly format a document in my future course.

My purpose in adding authority to my document is to clearly present what I am speaking on. I will do this by citing credible references that support my argument. I want to present things in a manner way that it doesn't seem argumentative but I want to persuade the reader. Again I will use credible reference and I will be sure to do my research and find as much information as I can on the subject matter.

The text messages in my phone are arranged from newest to oldest. I only save them for 30 days because if I haven't read them within a month they could not have been all that important. I can rearrange them by subject or who they are from. If I change the format it may help filter out junk messages as well. The only attachments I normally get is pictures or screenshots. I have attached a screenshot of how my messages pop up. All of my contacts show and I am also able to see messages from unknown numbers. I try to keep the format as simple as possible.
