  Commute: I don't like commuting. I want my commute to be a short as possible. 
  
  Dress: I like khaki's with a polo. I don't want to have to wear a button down 
         every day. I'm cool with jeans and a t-shirt as well.

  Hour: I don't care too much as long as it's regular. I don't want to be 
        on-call.

This assignment is to list questions I have about jQuery. However I don't have 
any questions, so I will explain what jQuery is.

jQuery has 2 main features
  1. Makes DOM manipulation easier
  2. Makes AJAX requests easier
  
DOM manipulation can be done with vanilla javascript but it's much more 
difficult. When jQuery was created web browsers were much more inconsistent 
than they are now. In order to get some DOM manipulation code to work you often

What do you already know about your communication style and skills?

  I consider myself a good verbal communicator, but writing is not my strongest

What is scope? Your explanation should include the idea of global vs. local scope.
  
  Scope is the area in which a variable is accessible. Variables declared at 
  the top level of an application have global scope and are accessible by all 
  code. While variables declared inside a function have local scope and are only 
  accessible by the code in that function. 

Why are global variables avoided?
  
  A global variable is essentially a variable that is shared among all the code
