ABOUT MYSELF

Hello my name is De’Jone Jones & I am a very unique person. Some of my passions are computers & cars Computers is a passion for me because I have been working with computers since I was seven. My first computer was an IBM with the green screen & command prompts. Ever since I had started understanding computers & the functions of a computer I picked up fast & self taught myself a lot of things about computers from hardware to software. Another passion of mine is classic cars. I am fascinated with the fact that they're so easy to deal with & fix when something goes wrong with it. My family is a big factor in my motivation to keep going & thriving to succeed. They are very supportive & a great inspiration in my life. Some of my friends are motivating by keeping me productive, positive & in school. Some of my future goals are to one day be a computer technician at twitter, Mozilla, Facebook, EA or Google or to be a computer engineer.I want to go back to school to get my masters in computer engineering and/or computer science.Thank you for your time & patience to read my blog about myself.

Twitter Starts Selling Political Ads

OK My Current Event Is About how twitter is expanding their horizons by selling political Ads. Meaning that the President,Mayer,vice president Can pretty much post there political ads on twitter. My personal opinion is that this is a good way for the people to see Agree & disagree on political stand points. I like the idea because sooner or later people will be voting & doing other political activities. Twitter is trying to keep up with Facebook because face book already has political views & politicians doing numerous things to support their campaigns & their political Views. Some people may not agree with this decision that twitter is making to add this feature & on top of that some do not want to say & or State their political views."Twitter, which began allowing companies to advertise on the platform more than a year ago, expects to expand the program in the coming weeks to allow more candidates and political groups to join as it builds a new political advertising sales team in Washington. Peter Greenberger, who managed Google’s first political sales team, will lead the new effort for Twitter. Eighty-five senators, 360 House members, 42 governors and all of the major presidential candidates now have Twitter accounts". This program will also allow candidates& political committees to pay for their twitter accounts to show up in list of accounts their users might want to follow.

My High School Years

My First two years of high school had its positives & negatives. Thinking back to my first two years of high
school it was a learning experience in life & somewhat impacting the choices I made in life at the time good & bad.

I want to start by talking about my positives in this school and time period which include football & history. I loved playing football high school football was fun & keeping me on top of homework & anything else so i could continue to play my first two years i started at linebacker & receiver. I like to play defense more than i did offense. I had more fun on   defense because there was more contact, harder hits, & more effort on my part. My favorite subject at the time was history i learned a lot of facts & had an opinion where most of the people & events that were taught was irrelevant to what i want to learn & know. But i learned a lot a few were people like Christopher Columbus, Genghis Khan, Mahatma Gandhi & Malcolm X. I learned about a few events while in this class to like Apartheid & The Slave Trade. In addition My Computer teacher was
motivational but at the time i didn't see it, even though he taught basic computer skills. The experiences that i had at the time with these positive things made me learn more & now thinking back in some ways made me a better person.

The Negitive things were that many of my fellow students were racist & were bad influences on my first 2 years in high school.
