A little intro about myself...
I'm Alex Carpenter, grew up in Northern California in a town called Brentwood. I have played soccer all my life, stopped playing this year sadly.. I snowboard and wakeboard. I love the Beach I go as much as I can. My mom's side of the family is from LA and my dad's side is from Reno, so I get the best of both worlds (snow and beach). I chose ASU because I wanted to go to a big school that had good sports team, good parties and good weather. So far ASU hasn't let me down. My major will eventually be nursing, I hope to be a traveling nurse one day and really help the world. For now I'm just doing my prerequisites before I apply for the program my junior year. I'm Spanish, Mexican and White ethnicity, I can't speak spanish but I hope to learn some day. I really enjoy spending time with my family and close friends of course. I love watching "Family Guy" and "American Dad", I also watch all the Real Housewive shows on Bravo. I love reality TV! I'm always loved the mobster lifestyle, so I enjoy all kinds of MOB movies, I also love Will Ferrell, any movie with him I most likely like. My favorite team are, Raiders (football), Oakland A's (Baseball), Sharks (Hockey), Lakers(Basketball), I LOVE watching sports and I get very defensive when people talk crap about my teams :) I hate cats...like HATE HATE them, they are creepy and gross. I love all kinds of food, I will honestly try ANYTHING. The one food or condiment I hate is mayonnaise. GROSS. Thats pretty much it!

I liked the point you made about how personal experience adds to your argument because it is quite true. I feel like it makes an argument stronger because no one can argue with what you have experienced and they have to understand your viewpoint better. I remember writing a paper in high school one time and the assignment was about something I had experienced and it was to convey observational tactics and to show how we could convey our feelings and senses in a paper. I feel that the personal experience that I chose made my paper strong because you could feel the emotion in what I wrote. I chose to write about the day that I found out my grandfather was going into hospice care. He had been battling liver disease for 2 years and little did I know he was going to lose that fight. Anyway, I wrote about every emotion that I went through that day and because it was what I was feeling, I feel that I wrote a good paper. I also liked the point you made about how you look affects an argument when you talked about the presidential election with Nixon. If you think about it, it really has an effect because one is always supposed to dress nice for interviews for a job, it conveys the same message if you are trying to gain a position in office. It is a popularity contest, in a sense, and because of that you have to also look the part in order to get the vote.
