Since Coca Cola has been manufactured, it has been a big hit with commercials and advertisements. The ad I choose shows a polar bear drinking Coca Cola. I like this advertisement because it uses a polar bear for its campaign. The polar bear symbolizes a frosty, cold envirornment, and the Coca Cola bottle symbolizes a frosty, cold drink. When incorporating animals in an advertisements, the animals start to remind people of things. For example, whenever I see a polar bear, I think of Coca Cola. Animals make products more memorable, especially when they are consistantly in the ad. In ads, many people  like to see symbolism, which this one includes. I also like this ad because it's simple. It doesn't include a lot of words like some ads do. This ad only says, "Always Coca Cola". When I see this picture, I feel like drinking an ice- cold Coca Cola. Without including many words, this ad is very convincing.

     One thing that I didn't like about this advertisement was the lack of showing the product. The Coca Cola bottle is barely in the picture. The polar bear takes up way more of the picture than the actual product that they are advertising. When advertising anything, you should make the item you are trying to sell more noticable than anything else in the picture. The reason is because the other things in the picture may become more distracting. When you first look at this ad, the first thing you see is the polar bear, not the Coca Cola you are advertising.

     When making an ad, you must make sure to convince the viewers of the product convinced to buy the product. In conclusion, when using the right tehcniques, you can make a successful advertisement.

Throughout the college and career unit, I have learned many things. For starters, not only did I learn what a resume was, I learned how to put together one. I also learned what a letter of recomendation is, which I hadn't known before.  I  expirienced  what a job interview will be like, giving me an idea of what mine in the future might be similar to. This taught me a lesson about being responsible enough to not lose my things because we had to keep our stuff in a folder for a few weeks. We had to research a college, and that gave me an idea of which one I'd like to attend. Your college has to offer your major, so you can't just pick any random one. I learned how to make a good impression on your job interviewer, too. I never knew how important it was to answer the interviewers question in the right way.
The college and career unit has taught me responsibility, how to make a good impression, and how to research and put in a lot of though into picking your college and major.

Someone I Look Up To

 Someone I look up to is my mom. One of the reasons is because she is a certified special education teacher. She is hard working and likes her job. She went to Kean University and has her Masters degree in Educational Psychology. My mother is in school again online to become a behaivor analyst. She works full-time and sometimes works with kids at night. She also works with troubled families who have problems. Even though she does all of this, she makes  time for other things outside of work like going to my soccer or basketball games. We do a lot of other things with the family like game night and going to the movies, too. This year, my mom planned a vacation to Florida for family and I. She always makes the holidays special for us, especially Christmas.
My mom has taught me by her own example the value of hard work, education, and to continue to learn  something new everyday.
