We see it more than we realize, because we don't know what all is completely true anymore. "Fake News" has began to grow into a mess. Publishers who create fake news like to grab ones attention by antagonizing something or someone stating an incorrect story trying to get readers to interact and begin using their site for the "latest news" or so they think.
The main topic to a fake news site, a celebrity, is often bashed with invalid information to catch the readers eye. Exaggerating on a topic to grab the readers attention, someone will create bogus stories knowing the people reading will continue to look further at what else they can find from this "reliable" source of information. They might take a story about a band coming to an end due to wanting to retire, and then twisting the story up by saying they got into a fight causing a break up.
Fake news isn't just about celebrities, it can be anything. As many new products that come out daily, there will always be talk about the product that has been twisted, of course to throw the reader off and persuade them to read more. Say a brand new curling iron hits the market, everything is going good, everybody wants one, and bam a story is going viral saying they're more dangerous than any other curling iron out there, now the reader is channeled in to read more.
It's very important to check where you're getting your news from. You should always stick to news sites and stations that have good reviews and never any history of telling "fake news." If you ever read something that completely throws you for a loop, I consider you check around to more official news sites before you take that information and go with it.

Technology
Technology as in phones, computers, tablets, and other electronic devices play a major role in the world today. There are many advantages and disadvantages to having technology at our finger tips. The majority of people prefer having access to it at all times of the day.
Any time you need information, internet is the first thing you go to. When assigned an essay that requires research, the first thing your teacher will have you do, is look it up on the internet. With having such easy access to it, searching for answers is never a problem because it's so incredibly quick and easy doing it through technology.
With everything in the world that is good, it can turn bad in a second. Being anonymous behind a computer screen, can cause a lot of harm to people considering the amount of cyber bullying that comes from it. There has been many suicides committed and attempted due to being bullied easily through technology.
Like stated, technology can be a positive and negative for people. With internet being monitored carefully, I believe that all forms of technology is beneficial in all ways. Without it, you wouldn't be able to check the weather every morning without having to turn on the TV, call or text someone, have social media, or help with gathering knowledge for school.

My One Word
Transition is something everybody will have to overcome at a time in their life. A graduating senior faces many transitions in a short matter of time. My one word for 2017 is "transition" due to leaving high school and my peers to begin beauty school with new peers.
Right after graduation, I will begin beauty school. Cosmetology is something I know a lot about but still will have to get adapt to. For example, the different techniques I will have to learn in order to successfully cut, style, and color hair will be all new to me.
Not that already having to transition from leaving a school that I've been to and being around the people I have known for 13 years, I now will be around a new group of people. There will be a classroom of around 20 girls and boys that I do not know anything about. This is one of the few things I'm nervous about, because of a brand new environment.
A few harbingers that will indicate my one word transition, will be me graduating from high school. I will submit my essay stating the reasoning behind me wanting to be apart of UACCB's Cosmetology program and get all of my books and my supplies kit. It's mandatory for me to complete these harbinger tasks before beginning school.
At times transitioning could be hard to bear, and this year I'll face it often. I'm ready to work through the hard times and begin the profession I've always wanted. In my case, transitioning is a good thing since I will get to the place where I will make a living the rest of my life.
