Jake Foust Introduction

My name is Jake Foust I come from a family of six, three older brothers and two younger brothers no sisters of any kind. I am a first generation high school graduate and first generation college student but my family is still fairly successful even with out the proper education but through life experience. my writing experience was fairly good I had good teachers to teach me a good habit or two so when I got to college I would have a decent time writing in harder courses. My goal for this is class is to be able to write a good paper or essay so when I get into a job in the future and have to fill out a report I will be great at it.  My second goal is to be a better at comprehending writing and reading so that when I get to a job where I need to be able to not just see what I'm reading but fully understand it. through this course I want to be a better at reading and comprehending through multiple peer edits and reading other peoples papers. Today critical thinking is super important because of everything kids are exposed too like social media and TV as well as video games. Critical thinking is what people need so that they can be able to think for themselves and be able to understand everything without being persuaded by pop culture. It also lets people voice an opinion that someone could feel very strongly about but might not being the popular opinion. My point of critical thinking is whether or not LeBron made the right choice in joining LA. I believe he made the right choice for his children and setting himself up for after basketball so that he can live a better life after basketball.
