New and Improved Report

On July 25, 2015 at 1230 hours, I spoke with Katherine Tunney. Miss Tunney said that she saw a white Toyota van wagon, with the license plate number 836L92F on it, parked in front of her home, located at 1647 Rancho, El Fuego. Tunney said that the driver had a camera up to his face, taking pictures of her home. Tunney wanted to talk to the suspicious subject, and upon exiting her residency, Tunney noticed the wagon the driver rolled up the window and sped away. A request to check the registration of a license plate was made. The license plate came back to a 2004 Toyota Wagon that belonged to a Stephen D. Bond who was located on 3381 El Balazo, El Fuego. Tunney told me that the driver was a white male with graying hair. When talking with Mrs. Tunney, she told me that on April of 2015, a similar incident had taken place. Mrs. Tunney stated that she was planting flowers in the yard when a suspicious man approached her and asked for her name. Mrs. Tunney did not give him her name. Mrs. Tunney stated that the man left in a cehicle with a personalized plate of ISPYONU. A check of the registration plates was ran and came back to a 2008 SAAB, registered to a man named Richard Toomey, located on 36 Paseo De Bonito, El Rancho. I informed Miss and Mrs. Tunney and Katherine that a crime has not been committed, but that I would file the report.

My Writing Challenge- The Biggest

Jessenia Garcia
Writing is never easy, especially when you want to start. In grade school, I was thought that there's always this writing ritual that begins with creating a spider web. However, I found that to be too much work and it sucked the inspiration out of me. I've always had a hard time starting on an essay or even when I wrote poetry. But I came to learn that I need to let it come to me and just let it flow.

When it came down to the documentary, I felt it was structured, and I don't do well on structured papers. However, I found it easy to write when I began to think about the big parts of the documentary. The way I ended accomplishing this paper is by picking out the main parts from the beginning, middle, and end. And like always, I found it much more helpful when I began to revise my paper. Every time I always found something to change, which made my paper a little better!

My Writing Journey

Keeping myself on track is really hard, especially when I enjoy sleeping in. However, I managed to wake myself early in the morning and work on the documentary project. Usually after class, I tend to go back to sleep. But, when watching this documentary, I couldn't go back to sleep. This documentary made me think about a lot of things and it put me through an unexplained emotional stage. Blogging and talking about the documentary was really hard because it had such hard material, so when it came to writing the paper, it took time and I was writing bits and pieces of it.

Something I learned about myself was that I can get things done if something interests me. However, I have a really hard time explaining things, in this case, the documentary summary. I always have the tendency to write every single detail, either it be a small or a big detail. Another thing that I learned about myself is that I am not that confident when it comes to citing sources. I always question websites that try to help.

Knowing this about myself, something I can do to better my writing is to just keep writing and revise a lot of my work. I would also have to try something different when it comes to writing. What I mean by this is, if I see that I'm having a hard time writing, I need to get up and walk away for a bit and then get back to it. In my profession, I am hoping to work with kids in abusive homes, and I'm going to need to be able to take breaks. I'm going to need to learn how to deal with some stuff that might take an emotional toll on me.
