Journal 9 by Evan

Part 1: I think my active reading is going a lot smoother I've never had to do active reading before until this class so adjusting to doing it was kinda weird at first but it actually helps keep track of the book and a great tool to use.

Part 2: My favorite profile would have been the astronaut. The story behind his life was absolute amazing there were so many obstacles he had to overcome to get where he was. I twas also interesting to read an article about something I've heard about prior to reading callings. The best part of the story was his childhood background that was amazing to me.

Part 3:Ohio has been a great place to grow up but i think by the time i graduate college Ohio has done all it can for me. it was an amazing place to be a part of but the weather changes or as i call mother natures mood swings are too much for me too handle but i also don't like the heat i don't like being hot and love the cold weather the heat is nice for a little while but gets old to me.
I've always wanted to visit New York which I am doing in December

Journal 9 by Max Balderson

     Active reading has been going much better for Callings, than it did for our previous two books. I feel like active reading is something that is much easier with practice. Now that I have two books of active reading under my belt, I find it much easier to write key details and elements while reading callings. The biggest strength of Callings is that is personal. It is a book of combined stories, from real people, about the thing that we all think about, their jobs or their "callings". It allows us to put ourselves in their shoes, and understand the emotion that is supposed to be in the text. The challenges of this book, is that it can be repetitive. You know what the premise of each story is going to be about, and ,for someone with little interest in this subject, I would imagine the book would be near impossible to read.
     My favorite story so far has been about the father and son firefighters. I enjoyed the amount of pride that they both had in what they did. The son looked up to his father so much, and knew from a young age that he was going to be in the same line of work his father was. The son, Dekalp III, even says, "Back in the nineties, when Micheal Jordan was really famous and everybody wanted to be like Mike? Well, Mike was good-but me, I wanted to be like Dekalb Walcott Jr. You were my Micheal Jordan." Seeing both their pride in what they do, I was curious about their line of work. Why was there such a need for firefighters in the area they lived, Chicago. I found that Chicago being such a densely populated city can cause a huge fire hazard. One of the biggest piece of evidence for this danger is the great chicago fire. It was a fire that lasted two days in 1871, and left 100,000 homeless. It can be led to believe that this is one of the many reasons for Chicago having such a huge need for their fire department, and could be another reason why this father and son are so proud of their work.
     There are a lot of reasons why staying in Ohio would be beneficial to me. For one, I could get a job at Honda being a translator. That would be nice, because it is very close home, and Honda is the same company that my dad works at. I would be able to live in Marysville, in the same town as my family. If I had to live in another state, I think I'd like to live in California. Now I understand that it is pretty far away from Ohio, but I would have a lot of benefits living there that I don't get living in Ohio. California is a much more globally connected state. This gives my job a lot more need in California than it does. It would also be a nice change of pace. I've been in the eastern part of the country my whole life. I was born in Florida and raised in Ohio, but the furthest I've gone west is Illinois. I personally think that California would give me a much different experience than Ohio would.

Journal 9 By Miranda

Part One: So far, my active reading is going well. This book is much easier to do active reading than the other two in my opinion. I like how the stories are set up, so I can read one story in a shorter amount of time and be able to write a better nutshell of what happened. Rather than having long chapters that you can’t remember every little detail by the end of it. The only weakness or downfall to this book is that there are so many different stories, and it can be easy to get them all mixed up or mixed together. But overall I enjoy the book.


Part Two: My favorite profile from our reading thus far is definitely the Lucietto/Mechanical Engineer. I can relate to her in a few different ways. Growing up, I would watch my dad work on trucks, lawnmowers, etc and I would be fascinated by what he could do. He never had to look anything up or ask questions, he could take anything apart and put it back together without a problem. In the profile her father said “Sometimes you’d take something apart and I’d sit there and wonder what in the world did you do. Then you’d say Daddy fix’” This makes me think of early memories where I would say the exact same thing to my dad. Over the years I have always thought about going into a mechanical or welding career. But I knew that not very many women were doing such an occupation so I  put those thoughts in the back of my mind. Based on the research that was done for the class I discovered that there is roughly 192,000 women engineers in America.


Part Three: For my future, what is attractive about staying in Ohio is family and friends. Here I at least know people and be able to fit in more easily. Other than having family in Ohio, there’s really nothing special about staying here. I would love to move down south more. Somewhere like Tennessee would be perfect. My dream is to work with cows, and there are over 79,000 cattle farms in Tennessee, which creates for a good opportunity. It is also the most beautiful state I have ever been to. Rolling hills, lakes, farmland, and the woods, what could be any better then that?
This is just one example of the beauty of Tennessee. I think this is one of the most breathe taking things I have ever seen.


Journal Nine by Shaylee Campbell

I think the active reading is going well. Callings of Purpose And Passion is really different compared to House on Mango Street or A Long Way Gone. I think its more interesting than either one before, and we aren’t even close to finishing it. Strengths of the book are reading multiple different interesting stories. My weaknesses are trying to find good writing in the passages. Some people say really neat things, and others are boring.
            My favorite story was the one about the sculptor, “We lived in a tenement building in El Barrio- East Harlem- and everybody knew everybody.” I looked up East Harlem, which is the place Olga and her mother lived. East Harlem is a neighborhood that encompasses areas north of the upper east side, east 96th street, east 5th ave, and to east Harlem Rivers. The town is known as “El Barrio”. The medium income is $21,480. East Harlem is the largest predominantly Latino communities. East Harlem historically suffered many social issues. Jobless rate, teen pregnancy, aids, drug abuse, homelessness, and asthma are five times the national average.

            I think there are many good reasons why I want to stay in Ohio. The biggest reason why I want to stay in Ohio is my family lives here. My whole family lives here or in Pennsylvania. I can also find my profession here, all over. I have a good opportunity here. Moving for work might be a good thing to experience a different place, and different people. If I moved I would love to go to Washington D.C. The atmosphere there is amazing. The job opportunities are great too. There is just so much to do, and places to go. The traffic might be bad, but I think it'd be worth it.

Journal Nine: Callings
In the book Callings, StoryCorps founder Dave Isay presents unforgettable stories from people doing what they love. I have enjoyed reading this book so far. Active reading for this book is going great. It is easier because the profiles are short versus having to active read for a book where a lot of things connect to each other and I just get confused in the process of that. I can’t put the book down sometimes.
My favorite profile would have to be, Firefighter Dekalb Walcott Jr. and his son Dekalb Walcott III.  Their profile is about how a father and son both fell in love with fighting fires.  I enjoyed reading this story because I thought it was cool that they both had a love for the same profession. A quote I came across in my active reading that I really liked, “Shut up and listen; pay attention to everything around you” “Because with this job, just when you think you know it all, something else is going to hit you” I read this quote over atleast five times and I finally thought of something that connected with the quote. I believe that the quote can be used as a life lesson because if you aren’t ready for the unexpected it might come and bite you in the ass.

Should I stay or should I go. Ohio is a wonderful place to live in. I have enjoyed growing up in this beautiful state and I wouldn’t take back my childhood in a minute. Staying in Ohio would be great because I am familiar with it but I do wish I could branch out a see new things. I would absolutely love to move to Colorado. Colorado is just so beautiful and peaceful to me. I remember going to see my grandfather in Colorado springs and he would always take me up in the mountains and we would see all the wildlife and the amazing views. I would also move away to possibly get a fresh new start and look for a job where I can work with animals and enjoy my life outside of work.
