Academic Plan

There are a couple of reasons why im going to college, i have been trying to qaulify for a federal grant from the government, my cousin kevin goes to the Andover school and he has qualified for a grant to go to college. my choices are pretty darn simple here. so heres the battle plan: I'll go to butler for two years and then i will transfer to Wichita State University to get my degree in Criminal investigation or computer science. I think these are very good plans, and i'm really excited to be going to college and hitting the books hard and getting ready for the world that awaits me and the hard roads involved with that also. Criminal justice has always been a very good interest to me either i'll be a Police Officer or a Attorney or lawyer or something. not to sure about that yet. College will help me in the long run for getting a good job, thats mainly why I'm in college is to make the BIG BUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I used to see my dad come home and be hurting all over and go straight to bed as soon as he got home and from that very time i knew i was not going to end up like that i am really wanting to be successful.

Using The Online Databases

This to me was a pretty good experience on the butler website and i really liked the online databases because you can just click on a couple of buttons and you type the name of your book you want to look up and your there!!!!!!!! The first thing you do is you log into your pipeline and you type your email in and your password and that pretty much is the most obvious or easiest thing to do pretty much on this thing. After your pipeline email comes up, then it will say "welcome Brian" (This is an example) and it will say that in that upper left hand corner, and you look up above that and it will say: Library Databases. Then, after you have clicked on Library Databases, click on opposing viewpoints database from the list this should be the easiest thing to do. Then From there on that list, There Should be a link that says: "Drinking Alcoholic Beverages" (This is an example) and then basically, you just look for an article you want to read and then print it off and read it. That to me is a very helpful thing to use when it comes to doing woks cited pages. i used to do a lot of works cited pages for a lot of different documents. so basically the next thing you do for this site is: you click on the citation machine link and after that you click on the link for MLA style and use the citation generator to create the citation for what ever book that you were desiring to use and thats basically it.http://www.butlercc.edu/ this link here is for the butler website but i think its a good start if you need to do something!
