oh my lanta I just realized that I am turning 30 this year. I live in Marion, Iowa with my husband and 4 children, Serrenitee she is 9, Gavinlee he is 8, Leevigh he is 5, and Weslee he is 3. We also have 12 pets, 2 dogs, 3 cats, 2 guinea pigs, and 5 ferrets. We love to spend time outside as much as possible, as you can imagine I can be busy with everyday life and some might even call me crazy for returning to school and completing the nursing program.

In the nursing program I would assume writing is important. I have not always been good with writing or reading, if I’m honest; but I really haven’t been put in the position that I would need these skills. I have high anxiety about posting pretty much anything because of my lack of knowledge and I look forward to increasing my overall knowledge in writing. In today’s high-tech lifestyle, it is way too easy to write the way we speak or text sometimes, which as we all know is not proper, grammar is typically out the window is spelling is shortened as much as possible. I would like to improve on this and be able to write a paragraph with confidence.

In the Set and Achieve Goals article point two and four are things that I already do. I write my goals down and even write every step that I need to complete to achieve that goal, I guess that would be my plan! Even with this class, on Sunday when they opened for preview I wrote down what is due when and I wrote out a plan of what I am going to do when for the entire term. When I don’t hit a goal that I have my mind sent on, I don’t give up I push harder and revise my plan taking my errors into consideration, so that I can strive to be my absolute best.

I think that the writing center is going to be a big help, unitizing the tutor center when needed and the review option will be big helps for someone like me, not confident in their writing ability. I look forward to learning all that this course has to offer!
