     Before I start answering the questions that I am required to answer, I just want to say that I am very impressed with this class. I came into this class thinking "what is the point of this class?", "this class will be easy since I already do social media and get paid for it.", I went in thinking it was going to be an easy A, which so far it has been, but at the same time I am learning some things that I can use for my YouTube channel, my Tik Tok, and my Instagram. I wasn't expecting us to do some of the things that we are doing and are learning about.

    What has been the most interesting concept? So far, the most interesting concept that we did was probably the New Media Journal. I found this to be the most interesting concept because it was something different that I haven't done before. While doing the new media journal I realized that I am on my phone a lot of the time or using some type of social media throughout the day, but I am using social media for a reason and not just on it just to be on it. Since the New Media Journal, I have tried to be on my phone a lot less but as you know it is very hard to not be on your phone when you're a social media influencer.

     What has been the most boring concept? If I am being completely honest, I would be fine if I didn't take this class. No disrespect to Professor Kennedy, she is a wonderful teacher, but this class was just another credit that I needed in order to graduate this year. When I was looking for classes that fit into my schedule, I saw this one and thought I would do really well in this class since social media is what I do on a daily and so far, I am doing well. As far as the class aspect of it I really don't find anything in the class boring.

    How do I think you'll be able to apply what you've been learning so far to the real world? I think what I have learned in this class which is use my voice and my platform to inspire others to use their voice as well to make a change and to make a difference. Also, show people with doing social media you can create generational wealth for the next generation and many generations to come.

 Wassup y'all, as you know I am Youtber/ Social Media Influencer and with being a Youtuber you have to post consistently in order for your channel to grow. On Moday February 14, 2022, at 6pm I posted a video. The video was called "Fake College Basketball Scout Prank!" When I posted the video, I got the eyes everyone and I got some positive feedback and some negative feedback. When I checked on how the video was doing, the had got 300 views within 3 hours. But also, at the same time I have a lot of people blowing up my phone telling me to take the video down because I was going to get in so much trouble for it. (Side Note: I get paid for posting videos on Youtube, so I take this as a job that I love to do.) I gave it some thought and talked to some close friends to get their opinion on the situation. I ended up taking the video down for few, then I gave it some more thought and said to myself why let someone else stop your money? So, what I ended up doing was putting the v

      Today, this will be my final blog of COMM 373 A. I truly enjoyed blogging even though blogging isn't really my thing that I do because I usually vlog for my YouTube channel. But I am glad that I got to experience something new and try something different. My mom always told me, "Don't say no unless you try it", and ever since she told me that when I was little it always stuck with me. Now the question is, will I continue to blog? Probably not since I have another way in vlogging to share my thoughts. I am so glad the blogging was a part of this class because it gave me a chance or another way to share thoughts that were in my head, get things off my chest, give knowledge to other about social media, and also to be myself. So, whether it is old or not, I still enjoyed my time here in this class and blogging. This blog has contributed to your digital footprint by giving me and showing me another way, my fans can keep up with me daily. Maybe down the line, once I g

 My name is Montrey Thompson or also known as Trey or Trigga or Trigga Trey. I'm from Baltimore, MD and I am 21 years old, about to turn 22 April 30th. I was raised by a single mother, but my dad didn't really come around until I was 12 years old. I have two sisters and 1 brother, all on my dad side, and I am the only child. My family is really small, it includes my mother, my grandmother, and my uncle. I am a Senior here at the Mount and plan on graduating this May 2022 and my major is sports management.  I came to the Mount on a partial scholarship for track, I ran the 400m and the 800m. I ran track for three years but recently I was kicked off the team because I was following my dreams by going to Atlanta and making content for my Youtube Channel and for Tik Tok with other creators. When I came back from Atlanta, they kicked me off the team. I felt like it was God's plan because if I was still on the team, I would not have any time to make any content, have any time to w
