MLA formatting is something that is totally new for me. There are so many different elements like the text format, spacing, and heading. The most difficult part for me was the in text citation and works cited. I was having trouble with when to include only the page number or to use the author and page number. I now know that if I use the author in the statement there is no need to use the name again in the parentheses following the statement. As far as the works cited part I was have difficulty in the format on how things should appear with a book or an online source. I was having trouble remembering exactly what to include for each source. It took me sitting down and reading over the MLA info we were provided serial times to get a full understanding for what is needed. The more that I write the better I'll get because no matter the document the MLA style remains the same.

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.
