Personal Credo
Steve Job's legacy was really a keen one which had up's and downs. His determination earned him a lot of fame as well as money. Most importantly from my view, it seems as though he just wanted to change the world. If that was his mission, mission complete. This inspires me to be determined on what I love to do, and let nothing step in my way.
My guiding principles are to do wat you love and want to do. But one quote that I always stick to is " Its easier said then done." Its natural as a person to have dreams. People want to be doctors, dentists, lawyers and even millioners. You can want to be these things but nothing is given in life.
You have to work for what you want in life. That credo guides me to work hard on my goals that I am trying to achieve. My job is to get better and strive for success. This will drive me through all the good and bad times that awaits me in life. It also aids me to overcome all mistakes and inconvenience that have occurred in my life.

Do you think that students are reacting properly to mandatory school uniforms? What do you think is the effect of mandatory school uniforms?
The school dress code is a way to elicit unity in students by making them wear similar clothes. The dress code is a good way to reduce competition in students regarding what clothes they wear. It maybe acceptable for younger kids, but the majority for high school students abhor wearing uniform. They enjoy showing their personality from the clothes they wear.
School Uniforms may be a good way to control kids but there should be certain days we can wear casual clothes. That day can be a friday where its the end of the week. Students are reacting properly to mandatory school uniforms. Its difficult to change from wearing your favorite clothes to looking like the other students in the school.
The effects of mandatory school uniforms are students finding ways to get around the school uniform. some positive effects can be less attention on what you wear and more attention on your education. Or maybe not. Ultimately students want to be themselves.

- A simple scripting language
- What does HTML stand for?
- HyperText Markup Language
- What type of document is HTML?
- A plain text file that contains text and nothing else

- What does the acronym WYSIWYG stand for?

- What are three benefits of knowing HTML?
- You can use tags the editor does not support
- You can read the code of other people's pages, and "borrow" the cool effects
- You can do the work yourself, when the editor simply refuses to create the effects you want

All you need to do is type in the code, then save the document, making sure to put an .html extension or an .htm extension to the file

Mobile Devices
The use of mobile devices like cell phones are more of a distraction then used as a educational purpose in the classroom. Teachers have more of a descriptive figure when using them as an instrument in lessons.
