Being an online student

For me being an online student means so much, I have more opportunities to get things done in this format. I am a single working mother of two younger children with little to no help. I have completed two different vocational schools earning diplomas in Medical assisting and surgical technology. I did both of them while I only had one child and a better support system. But not only that I was in a confined classroom when I did them. One of the joys I experience with doing online learning is that I can take my work with me & be anywhere doing it.

One example of this is, earlier this year one of my aunts was killed in northern NJ. I had to travel up there to assist with preperations, and attend the service. Well, I also had a final paper due at the same time. Because of the learning enviroment I choose and my gracious professor I had, I received a 2 day extention. This was just enough time to travel back & forth typing my paper on the train, attend my seminar (while excusing myself during the wake) and still get everything turned in on time without needing to use the extension.

If I was in a regular class room there was no way I could be at both places at the same time woithout something suffering from it. I have the ability and freedom to have class anytime, anywhere I choose( provided I have internet).

That is the main reason I choose doing things on line it gives me choice and freedom.

What was I thinking?

I love my city.

I love the heritage found in my city.

I have faith that all the wrngs done here will be corrected.

But why oh why did I make a bet on our current world seris champions?

I know that our Phillies can do a repeat and to see my one of my favorite cousins dancing in a chicken suit wearing our proud red and white will be the absolute best thing.

Heck that will make my year and years to come!

But if by some fluke chance we do not win, I have to dance in the chicken suit!

Oh my, me oh my I will NEVER be able to hold my head high again.

Now I know that he is probably feeling the same way. But I think this is one bet I will have to welch on.

GO PHILLIES!!!!

Hello

Hello,

As I stated in the post I am so excited about getting to blog for a class. I blog quite frequently on here so I am kind of familiar with the format.

Blogging is a great form of expression and release that I have found. You never know how much you have in common with another person till you read some one else thought and see that you thought the same way.

I first started doing this on Myspace and it kind of grew from there, I have found that having the release to be creatively free is great. The bonus was having people that didn't even know me relating to things that I have written.

Keep an open mind and let the creativity flow when your on here!!

Have fun everyone

Michelle
