Unit 8

Discuss any issues you have had throughout the process.
• How do you feel about the comments, or lack of comments, that have been made to your blog posts?
• Do you plan to continue your blog even after the course?


I thought at one point that I loveed to write but taking this course has made me wonder if writing to express myself is something that I would do all the time? I still enjoy writing, it makes me feel better when I get it out and I have also learned that I enjoy having a blog!!! something that I did not think I would enjoy. The only trouble I had with writitng this paper was findinf a topic and making it persuasive , I thank Professor Butler for her positive feedback on my paper and I hope that I write a great final paper for this class.

I know sometimes peoples lives are busy and I don't mind if my blogs don't get a response I know that I put them out there for anyone to read and Iam ok with that, as far as continuing to blog after this class......... I think I will Ireally enjoy venting to no one in particular.

I am so stuck.....

Well I thought that I liked dto write until this assignment came into my life I don't know why I am having such a hard time writing this paper all I had to do was pick a topic, research it, take a stand and then write.... usually writing is so easy for me all I have learned this week is that my new topic makes me angry how can so many mothers be so irresponsible? I mean ok I get it alot of people drink but when youfind out that you are pregnant common sense should say ok drinking bad idea, right? but no some women continue to drink and then they want to blame the doctors when there children are born and there not that all too beautiful baby that should have been. That is so sad to me then they don't want them or they don't have the time and patience to deal with what they created so they place the burden on someone else (their parents) I did learn something not all children are born with the physical deformities of FAS ( fetal alcohol syndrom) some of the symtoms manifest as the child grows and shows up as agression, hyperactivity,behavioral problems what new parents determine as ther kid having ADD/ADHD it's a very interesting topic I give it that I just hope that I am giving it the right spin it needs to sell my opinion. bye for now L

unit 6

Hello class mates and all who read this I am in sort of a delimma, I like the topic that I chose for my final project but can't seem to grasp the concept of a persuasive essay. hmmm so I have decided to try another topic I looked throughthe ones the professor had available and thought that I would try Fetal alcohol syndrome now I have ben trying to research as much as I can to pull a paper together in the few short days that I have left good thing it's only a rough draft so I can aford to make the mistakes of a draft then go back and polish it up in the end.

Thesis statement:Fetal alcohol syndrome the effects on parents, grandparents and teachers.
If anyone has something to say or offer to aid in my decision please do.

Unit 5 blog

Hey y'all my personal writing choice is freewriting, the reason I like this style is ecause it's free there is nothing that you can do wrong it is all yours no rules to follow just the ability to say what you like without being judged.

As far as my academics the only challenges that I find myself having is time it's getting harder now to find time to do my school work and study, be a mom, wife, friend, nurse, counselor oh and an ATM!!! (lol just to my son) it's beginningto get a little stressful since I don't have time for myself anymore I am beginning to miss things because I am so tired all the time, but I will graduate and I am proud of myself for taking this journey of self improvement so I will continue until I find my calm. As far as influencing my life I know that something good will come at the end of this so that's what Iam rooting for.

Unit 4 blog

I think of plagiarism as stealing and if you can goto jail for robbing a bank there should be a penalty for stealing someones hard work, just imagine the time and effort it takes to com up with original ideas then someone just walks away with all the fame without putting in any of the work. Come on people youlike it when someone gives you praise for a job well done then you should do the same for others hard work, they desreve it.

I don't know what I would do if someone stole my idea I do know that I would never shut up about it everyone would know that whom ever it was that stole my idea was a thief.

So just give proper credit to those whos hard work has helped you along in your academic or professional life there not asking much just o be recognized for there time and work.
