Dont ask dont tell

I think that all of this stuff is just a bunch of BS. Who ever has the toughness and courage to enter the military should be able to no matter what status you are. They are willing to support our country!! If you are gay, most likely you are a softer person but if you do have the mental ability to help our country out then you should be able too. The way our society is though will probably make gays uncomfortable in the army. Soldiers might not agree with the gay being on their squad but they will when he saves one or many of their lives!

Multigenre component

I might just do a power point and explain the strengths of my topic and i might add a nice video with some positive info. Since I dont have any times or events and timeline will not be used. So im probably going to stick with the basic powerpoint and video. i might grab some of my interviewers and make a live video of how school sports are important from the info i collected.

My social action project progress

I am still figuring out who I will interview. I might not be able to interview my high school coaches because I will not be heading home before November 10th. I think I will stick to my friends and family that have major sport back rounds and that have played school sports. I actually like the idea with interviewing friends because their high school experience is more fresh and up to date. I will also try to mix up where my friends came from to get different perspectives. Some people might have had better experiences because they lived in a better town or a town that loved school sports. I still might plan on talking to the ISU baseball coach but since this is a D1 school im not sure if he will have time because im sure D1 schools practice more often. He will also be busy with alot more then other coaches that coach at a lower level.

Job Description

The jobs i reviewed were a PE teacher and a Athletic Coach. These two jobs interest me alot because they have to do with my major. I also love sports and both of these have to deal with sports. Back in my hometown i used to umpire little league and help out little leaguers with baseball. I really enjoyed doing this and PE and Atheletic coaching relate to my help with these kids.
