Me and My Faith

Hey everyone. I wanted to talk about my faith because it means so much to me. I'm a Christian- have been for the past 7 years. I've struggled with a lot of things over those 7 years, but those struggles have made me the 27 year old man that I am today. When I surround myself with good people, it makes my faith grow even stronger. I'm blessed to have so many brothers and sisters in Christ who love me and will do anything to make sure I don't fall into temptation. Over the past 4 years, I've felt like God is calling on me to work with youth. I have a lot of younger friends who are Christians, and it's truly an honor for me to be in the position to minister to these kids and be a role model to them. This May God has given me the chance to speak at a youth rally in Alabama. That's what faith in Him can do. I've been told that I have such a strong faith and that I'm a good Christian- sometimes it's hard for me to live up to those expectations, but I'm truly blessed to know that people see the good in me. It took me a long time to see the good I have in me, but I embrace it with open arms, and I would not change anything. I'm going to be honest with you guys- it took Mormon missionaries coming to my house to make me realize what I have, and I love those guys for showing me what I was missing. My faith goes beyond showing others love, not just to my friends but also to my enemies as well. Having faith is one thing- really believing in it is another. If it was not for faith, I would not be back at school right now, and I would not have strong friendships and a love for others and to be able to be a witness to these people. Thank you for reading this, and I hope you have a blessed day.

My Definition of Mass Communication

To me,  mass communication means a whole lot of things. For instance, when I first turn on the TV in the morning, I like to see the morning news to see what's going on in the world. When I turn on the computer, I like to see what's happening on my Facebook and Twitter sites. Or I check my cell phone to see if I have any missed calls or text messages. My personal definition of mass communication is not only the how and who I communicate with but also the why and when of it. Back when I was growing up ( in the late 80s to early 90s), cell phones didn't exist. If they did, they were big and bulky. Without the technology ever expanding, I would not know where my life would be at right now. Facebook has become a big part of my life this past year, with all the new friends I've met, some of whom are like brothers to me. Twitter is another big part of my life. Without Twitter I would not have met a good friend of mine whom I'm competing against in a 10k race in May. Mass communication is a big part of everyone's daily lives whether they like it or not. From all the billboards you see while driving down the highway, to the ads in the newspapers, to unwanted telemarketers calling you at all times of the night, it's all mass communication. In today's society, in all truth, what would our lives be like if Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, or even Pinterest did not exist? To be honest, I would probably be lost. Mass communication has affected my life these past 5 years and I'm glad it has. And without the one main tool of mass communication- television- we would not have witnessed some of the major events happen. Television made possible the events of 9/11, the O J Simpson trial, and the civil rights movement.

Self Introduction

Hello everyone! My name is Corey Dilworth. I'm a 27 year old student at Itawamba Community College in Fulton, Mississippi. I'm a Liberal Arts major right now. I plan to double major in History and Political Science at Mississippi State University in the fall. I plan to go to law school someday and become a law professor. I hope to get an LLM and possibly a JSD. I'm from Corinth, Mississppi. I graduated from Corinth High School in 2003. I went to Northeast Mississippi Community College from 2003 to December 2006. I sat out for 5 years on account of I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, and my grades in school were horrible. During that 5 years, I did some soul searching and I came upon the idea of becoming a law professor. Outside that, I want to go into youth ministry as well. I truly believe that the upcoming generation needs guidance, and I want to be able to help them as much as I can. My interests are ping pong, tennis, running, basketball, football, reading, law, history, politics, and writing. I'm the oldest of 2 children. I have a sister who is 26 years old. I have a 3 year old nephew named Marquis. Right now I'm in the process of training for my first 5k race in either March or April, and I'm also in training for a 10k in May. I hope to finish my career one of two ways: either as a dean at a law school or as a member of the U.S. Supreme Court. I also want to become a mentor so I change peoples' lives. One more thing about me: when it comes to my friends, I will do anything to make sure they are okay. I care a lot about people, and it's my honest privilege to be able to serve people and make sure they have an awesome day.
