Noooo Problems!

I have not had really any major problems through out this course. Only a few little ones. I just wish I had a little more time in which I guess is really immposiable. At first I did have a problem with the blog. I did not understand it. But now I have it and I will continue the blog after my class. I want to add pictures and really would like to keep in contact with my class mates.

Peer Reviews!

I actually love the peer reviews. Not only do I have the intructors opinion I have my classmates also. With having my classmates look over my paper it is going to improve my over all grade. They are most likely going to catch any mistakes that I missed and I can surely go on there advice.
I have found that Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) can actually have babies be born drunk very shoking. And even worse than that they can sometimes be born smelling like alcohol. That is horrible and I just could not believe this when I found it in my reasearch. How could a women feel good about her self when something like this happens. YUK it just makes me sick, and it is so sad.

Stressed!!!

I do not think that I have ever been this stressed. I have tried really hard to actually get all of my work done on time. I have never been late turning in any of my work untill these two classes that I am taking now. I have been working 78 hrs a wk, coming home every nite at about 8pm doing the work I can and then I am so tired I hit the bed. Get up at 4am and go again. I have three children and I am not spending the time that I want with them. I guess this is the definition of work??? I am not behind on any of my school work but sometimes I have to turn it in a day or two late in which I hate. Because then of course this is what you stress about untill it's done. I am so thankful that I have proffesors who are very understanding. This is what I have been dealing with in the past six weeks. It will get better!

My Academic challenges!

My academic challenges would definitely have to be math. I hate it and have so many problems with it and always have. I should of payed more attention to it when I was in school but to be honest I never had any interest in it. This is something that I regret now that I am in college. I did pass my math class that I took through Kaplan so that makes me happy.
School is influencing my life through my children. I have three kids. At the age of 26 I want them to know that it is never to late to go to school. My kids are 8,9, and 2 yrs old. I feel like I am setting a great example for them and for their futures. My daughter is already talking about college at the age of nine. I love it! I do not want them to ever struggle through life, and when they are much older you probably won't find any kind of job unless you have a degree in something. My kids already know what I would love for them to do after high school. And I really hope that they go to college.

Hello!!!

Plagiarism


I think that we need to cite our sources because we should not take credit for someone else's work. We cite so that everyone will know where the article came from and it also helps the person that is reading it know where to go back and look if they want to know anything further. I would be very upset if someone used something I created and took all of the credit for my work. Alothough it is a real pain for me to cite I still do it because I would never want anyone to take my work or the credit for it so why would I do it to someone else.
