Steeler Rookie Ta'amu Arrested

Steeler rookie Alameda Ta'amu got arrested on October 14, 2012 in Pittsburgh's South Side area. He was driving intoxicated through out South Side and when the police tried to stop him, he fled. He would have kept going but he was stopped by police when he crashed into another car where there were several people inside. One woman got rushed to the hospital for hitting her head on impact. Ta'amu is facing two felony counts, three counts of aggravated assault and ten misdemeanours. Sometimes when things like this happens, it makes me think that people who are in the spotlight, like the rookie Steeler player, do this because they think they will not get caught. When things like this happens, it makes the team look horrible as well as yourself and your supporters. Fans look up to these famous athletes so they need to start realizing that they are role models and not just there to play a football game.

Play60 Becoming More Established

I recently got in touch with my old physical education teacher, Lee Dreshman. He let me observe his classroom since my major is in the Leadership in Physical Activity department. He also informed me that me wrote to the Play60 program, sponsored by the NFL, asking them if they will go to his school for an event. He teaches at my old elementary school, Whittier Elementary in Pittsburgh. They are still reviewing his form but I think it is so great to know that the program I am trying to promote more in Pittsburgh is starting to grow. Hopefully by the time I graduate, the program will be very popular in the community and will help children get out of this nasty habit of being unfit!

News Letter

Today in class we are working on a news letter. I feel that they are very important to understand and be able to construct especially if you are working within public relations. Like I have stated in the past, technology is so important for today's society because it is evolving and growing each day. You can put any information into a news letter and you need to make it as eye opening as possible to grab the reader's attention. Once you master a news letter, you can use it to your advantage for the future in your future job setting.

Microsoft Office

Recently in my Sport Communication and Technology class we are working with a lot of formats within the Microsoft Office software. I have learned so much already and it is so easy to use. There are so many templates that you can use that will help you now with classes and in the future for your job. Since technology is so important on today's society, it is very important to know what exactly your working with when it comes to a computer. By learning all of the basic and some more complex things now on the computer, it will look really good on a resume when they see that you do have experience with computers and some software!
