I told him that I was about to start heading over to this class because I found out we had the same class together. My audience was my friend and my dorm neighbor Xavier because we were walking her together. My purpose was to notify my friend that I was ready to start walking and I achieved that because we walked here together. I could've achieved this same thing by going up to his dorm and telling him in person. I chose to write instead of calling him because we had time to spare.]]> 2022-08-02 21:35:06 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/mov96944rmgqsmqg/wish/2253672955 xereyes https://padlet.com/pcserviss/mov96944rmgqsmqg/wish/2253672995 The very last writing that I did would be a quick paragraph to my friend who lives in Texas. The purpose of this text message was to see how they're doing because they moved to another state for college. She's living on her own right now so I wanted to make sure that she's doing okay. I personally wanted to text her on snapchat instead of calling her because she might still be asleep and I wouldn't want to wake her up. She ended up responding saying that she's doing great and ready for college.]]> 2022-08-02 21:35:14 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/mov96944rmgqsmqg/wish/2253672995 xfrancisco https://padlet.com/pcserviss/mov96944rmgqsmqg/wish/2253673157 The last time I wrote something was to my friend. We texted saying how it was really hot. She was telling me how much she was sweating because of the heat, and how much walking outside she has been doing today. My audience was "four musketeers" who are my best friends from home. The purpose of my text was to tell her that I relate to her because as I was walking over to class, the sun was strong. I did achieve my purpose as she responded with a "too strong." I could have possibly searched for a GIF to communicate how hot is it outside, but writing it was faster and more convenient, going on google and searching for a GIF would have taken longer than a text. ]]> 2022-08-02 21:35:40 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/mov96944rmgqsmqg/wish/2253673157 maponce9 https://padlet.com/pcserviss/mov96944rmgqsmqg/wish/2253673349 The last thing I wrote was a text message to a family member. I wrote words of encouragement and described the support they had from me and my family. The audience was my cousin and somehow through her it would reach her kids as well. The purpose of my text message was to remind her that she wasn't alone and difficult times have an ending to them. Nothing last forever. I think I did achieve my purpose because we came to an agreement on the situation and she expressed how the text message helped her realize some things she didn't see before. Maybe if I called her I would of been able to achieve the message I was trying to send, but I think writing it down helped me properly phrase what I wanted to say and deliver my message without getting interrupted by other thoughts.]]> 2022-08-02 21:36:18 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/mov96944rmgqsmqg/wish/2253673349 yizsolanogonzalez https://padlet.com/pcserviss/mov96944rmgqsmqg/wish/2253673385 I was texting my sister about STEP and my new friends. I wrote to her how I was feeling not being home and my new life. The purpose of this was to update her on what I was doing these days. I achieved my purpose because she kept asking questions sounding intrigued and interested. I could've just called her and still sound excited. I chose to write to her because I didn't feel like calling her.]]> 2022-08-02 21:36:25 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/mov96944rmgqsmqg/wish/2253673385 semarin1 https://padlet.com/pcserviss/mov96944rmgqsmqg/wish/2253673439 The last thing I wrote was a text to my cousin. I was asking about how her senior orientation went at my old school and how the freshmen orientation went for our siblings. The audience was my cousin, and my purpose was to know how they're doing back home. We were also talking about how the leadership at my old school sucks. I have not yet achieved my purpose because she hasn't answered back. I could not have achieved this purpose without writing because she is about an hour away. I chose to write because talking on the phone while in a classroom is kind of really awkward personally.]]> 2022-08-02 21:36:35 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/mov96944rmgqsmqg/wish/2253673439 llopezgraciliano https://padlet.com/pcserviss/mov96944rmgqsmqg/wish/2253673554 The last thing i wrote was a response to Lupita because Cervando, Xavier, and I were lost inside the TLC and we didn't know where the class was being held and she was already inside and waiting for class to start. Even though we were late to class we did achieve the purpose of arriving to class but if it weren't for me actually contacting someone that was already there, we all probably would have been still wondering inside the building. I chose to message her instead of calling her because it would have been mad disrespectful if i just call her inside a quiet class, i did not want to be "that" guy.]]> 2022-08-02 21:36:57 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/mov96944rmgqsmqg/wish/2253673554 nfnolascoruiz https://padlet.com/pcserviss/mov96944rmgqsmqg/wish/2253673966 The last thing I wrote was a text "I'm going to go eat." My audience was my mom. My purpose was to keep her updated. I think I achieved my purpose because when she's on her break she'll know where I am. I could have achieved this purpose without writing, I could have called her instead, but I choose not to since she's working. ]]> 2022-08-02 21:38:18 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/mov96944rmgqsmqg/wish/2253673966 lmoralescordova https://padlet.com/pcserviss/mov96944rmgqsmqg/wish/2253674067 The last thing that I wrote was a text that was accompanied by a picture in which I informed my friends I was now going to my first writing class in college and was being a "studious foo". My audience was my two best friends from Oakland, CA. The purpose of my text was to keep them in the loop of what I am doing since we are far from each other and it isn't as easy to keep up with each others lives. I believe that I did achieve my purpose due to my friends responding with the activities that they were also doing at the time. I believe that I could have also achieved this purpose without writing due to the picture being enough to explain where I currently was. Personally I chose to write because my friends and I tend to want to explain a picture in order to make sure that everyone in the group chat understands what is going on and isn't left out.]]> 2022-08-02 21:38:35 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/mov96944rmgqsmqg/wish/2253674067 daestrada3 https://padlet.com/pcserviss/mov96944rmgqsmqg/wish/2253674084 The last thing I wrote about was informing my mom what I was up to. I had texted my mom about how I made some new friends and I was going to walk with them to class. My audience was my mom because she was the person that I was informing about what was going on. My purpose for texting my mom was to tell her how I made some new friends and that I no longer felt alone. I feel that I did achieve my purpose because she now knows that I am not alone during my journey here at Step. In other words, I know that I achieved my purpose because she had told me that sooner or later I was going to be making friends and starting to feel more comfortable. I do believe that I could have achieved this purpose without writing because of how I felt when I was talking to the new girls that I met. On the other hand, I chose to text my mom instead of calling her to not get emotional.]]> 2022-08-02 21:38:38 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/mov96944rmgqsmqg/wish/2253674084 njlindhurst https://padlet.com/pcserviss/mov96944rmgqsmqg/wish/2253674090 The last thing I wrote was a sentence in a google doc that I'm using to write a first draft. The writing was a bit of dialogue between two characters after a difficult encounter. The audience would be future readers as the story is far from done. The purpose would be to create an engaging story in novel form. I definitely haven't achieved the purpose yet as the story is still yet to be finished. I chose to write because I enjoy the medium and think it's fun.]]> 2022-08-02 21:38:39 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/mov96944rmgqsmqg/wish/2253674090 lvalenteparra https://padlet.com/pcserviss/mov96944rmgqsmqg/wish/2253674155 The last thing I wrote were answers to a google form, a program I am in back home wants to send care packages to us for our first years. I wrote how I would want some gummy bears but also how I want new shoes, they didn't give us restrictions so I might go all out. My audience are committee members who run this program. My purpose was to help them learn a little more about what I like so they can personalize my care package. I do think I achieved my purpose, and the reason I know is because they asked guided question, simple check the box questions. I don't think I could have achieved this without writing, unless they reached out over the phone. The reason I chose to write is because...they wrote to me first. ]]> 2022-08-02 21:38:50 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/mov96944rmgqsmqg/wish/2253674155 ymvue https://padlet.com/pcserviss/mov96944rmgqsmqg/wish/2253680596 The last thing I wrote was not in the form of words nor text. My sister texted about her test results for her dog, Kloki, and she listed his genes. He's 50% border collie and some other stuff. I was replying to her text and sent her a laughing emoji because I could see the border collie gene in Kloki. I found it funny since I assumed that Kloki was probably mixed and was more border collie than anything. I achieved my purpose of replying to her in a lighthearted way to match her tone in the text. I know I achieved my purpose and I did so without writing because I found that sending an emoji was more convenient.]]> 2022-08-02 21:56:43 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/mov96944rmgqsmqg/wish/2253680596
