Unit 6 Post

Well hello everyone, here we are now in Unit 6. I still feel like I’m not getting anywhere on any of the papers I have to write. I have three classes this term, and go figure two of them are the ones that I’m not so great at. They would be Anatomy and Physiology II and this class Comp. II. My third class is like a second nature to me, it is Medical Office Management. This class I feel like I have to work on getting the answers, but I do not feel like I’m ready to get sick, my body cramps up, and my nervous are about to jump out of my body. Now with Anatomy and Comp, that is a totally different story, I really have to work out getting the answers to all homework and quizzes. Not to mention both of these classes are asking for me to write a paper. Which I’m not very good at, at all. In Comp. II I’m writing my paper on Teenage Pregnancy and in Anatomy, I’m writing my paper on the Respiratory System. So between all the paper writing and projects I feel like I’m sinking. Anatomy is really the hardest from them all for me, I read and re-read the chapter and sometimes I just really do not get it. I just I need it more in layman’s terms. Well I hope everyone else in the collage world is doing a lot better than me right now, and I mean that in the sense of school work as well as health wise. I have been raising five kids, which seem to keep bringing the sickness back to me. I now have landed myself in the hospital, due to amonna, what fun I’m having now. But hey I always look at things on the bright side. At least school is keeping me busy and taking my mind off this nasty food they serve, I really could go for Mc Donald’s right now. I even hate that place, but anything is better than this. Or maybe someone could sneak me a really big salad with everything on it. Also on the bright side, I guess I can get a lot of studying done, never mind scratch that. At least the studying I’m getting done will help me in the long run. Being forced to do this will help me get even better at the fears I have for these classes. 

Unit 5 Post

I cannot believe we are half way through already; time is really going by so fast. I feel like I have not got anything really started on my paper yet. I guess this is where I would tell you about my academic challenges. Which by the way happen to be this class, lol. I have never been really good at writing anything. So when I found out I was going to be in College Comp I, I have to say I got really nervous. Then come to find out there was a part two, to the class. Now I feel like my heart is in my throat and I can barely breathe. I keep telling myself everything will be alright, and I will make it through without destroying my GPA. But to tell the truth, I never had to write a scientific paper. Before this class I never even knew what one was. I hoping that sense I’m doing my paper on teenage pregnancy that I will do somewhat of a good job. Only because it is something I really would love to learn about, due to the fact I have three daughters. However, I always thought that if a teen got pregnant that she would really suffer an education. But come to find out in the research I have been doing, it is saying that the child of the teen mother, will be the one to suffer. I also learned that teen age pregnancy has grown a huge amount in the last three years, and if a teen had a baby at 15 or 16 years old they are most likely to have another on by the age of 18 years old. What are these kids thinking?

Unit 4 Post

Hello everyone well here we are in week four already, time is really flying by so fast. Just think in no time at all we will have written a scientific paper. I’m not sure about the rest of you, but for me that will be a really big deal. I really am not good at writing papers at all, a matter of fact when I knew I was taking this class and it being part II I thought great am I going to make it through. LOL Anyway, so far we have learned how to search for our references and how to cite them. Now we are being asked the question why it is so important to cite what we have looked up be to our references for our paper. Well beside the must known reason, which is plagiarism. There are also reasons that are very important to you as a student and as a person. One thing we all should live by is giving credit to where credit is due; think about it would you like to work your but off on working on a paper just for someone to come along and steal your work and take all the credit? Then there is the reason for not wanting to get kick out of school. Many schools require proper citing and have a very strong rule on plagiarism, which if you are caught doing this you will be removed from the school. And I’m sure we all have worked too hard to have it taken away now. One other reason I think it is important to cite our work is because when we are writing a paper, we are really becoming more knowledgeable, so you want to make sure you really know what you have learned and are talking about. I think that if we have a lot of citations than the more expert option we have. I have really learned a lot about my topic on teenage pregnancy and I have to say with all that I have read, I’m really blown away and worried for all those teenage girls out there now.

Unit 3 Post

Well hello everyone, I guess this is the first real post for our assignments, so here it goes.

I would like to do my paper on teenage pregnancy. I think the reason I would to do my paper on this topic is because my 16 year old daughters and even my son have introduce me to some of their friends. Friends who happen to have a baby or a baby on the way, my one daughter’s friend is even on her second child and she is only 17 years old. What has this world come to, when did our teenagers think that it became the popular challenge to see who could be pregnant the fastest or even with the most? I just cannot believe that the teenagers today think that the world is such an easy place to live, let alone try to raise a baby in it. I try and tell my kids there is a lot of time to have a family after they go for their dreams first. I think that is the main reason I have decided to go back to school. One day my 10 year old came to me and asked me why I never went to college. He said “You say that we can do anything we put our minds to and it is never too late.” I have always wanted to go back to school, but never felt like I have had the time. After the conversation with my son, I thought he is right it is never too late. And I cannot say one thing to my children and do another. So now I’m here today writing on a Blog which I never even knew what one was. Go figure, things do always seem to work out if you want them bad enough.     

What A Busy Day!!!!

Hello everyone,
Today was a very busy day for me. I finally got to sit down after only getting 3 hours of sleep last night. I got up because my husband was so excited due to it was the first day of hunting season. So he had me up at 4:30 am, than after that I could not get back to sleep so I than cleaned the house and put up all the Halloween decorations. I thought maybe than I could sit and do some homework, however that did not work out either. I than had to take my daughter to Girl Scouts, which I than had to make bake goods for the cancer work for my other two daughters Girl Scout troop. By the time I got my kids in bed it was time for my class. So now it is 11:55 pm and class just ended and now I have to do my school work. Boy, I’m glad I decided to take three class. LOL
