Writing


Taking this writing class has helped me improve my writing and sentence structure; I do see items that I still need to work on with the feedback from other peers which has helped me. Have doing all these different types of essays have strengthen my way of doing the essays and the final draft of them, If I could I would go back and try to focus and do more rough drafts of my essays to possibly get a better grade on them but it is the information that I know now that I can carry on for my next classes and succeed with them.

I do believe that students do write papers differently and can write possibly only two rough drafts and be able to have the final essay done with the third paper and get an A on it, I know that I have to at least do four rough drafts before I can start to think about the final draft. I like getting the feedback from other peers even if it is sometimes harsh because it does let me know what to change and think about to write a better paper.

College


I came to college because I had known I wanted to continue my schooling to get into the field of becoming a Vet Tech. I did find out the first semester though of being in college that you do have to attend school every day you have class and do the homework in order to complete college and succeed. College isn’t for everyone, sometimes people just become students to get the checks which are wrong and then don’t go to the classes and then end up dropping out. I am glad that I decided to attend college and my degree because it will be doing something that I love to do, which is taken care of animals. It has been longer then I thought it would take me but I am getting it done and succeeding.

I am ready to go to the next semester for school and tackle the next obstacles that I will have, I know that the classes push you to the best of your obilities and then do help you if you need it in order to succeed. I have the ambition to finish college and not even think about dropping out, I know that if i do fail a class that I will have to take it again and just work harder and pass it the next time. I know that nothing will bring me down or stop me.

Research Papers


I love doing research papers because it allows me to do a subject that I like or know a lot about and can inform people on it more. I chose a topic that I am really passionate about and care really about, I chose the topic of Pit bulls and how they are misread and have a bad rep because of what people just assume of them.  I have two other blogs about how I feel about the breed and don’t want to give you the same information that I have in the other blogs also.

Fallacies


There are fallacies all over the world that are wrong, you see all of the ads or posters of models that are toothpick skinny and have everyone thinking that is the ideal image of someone when it isn’t. The axe commercials also always have the “hottest” actor with the best fit body on it trying to sell the product and then guys think that after they buy the product that it make them hotter and or more popular. I don’t think this is the right way to sell products but that is the main way consumers do it now and its sad, it has young teenagers also trying to fit that one look of the model into their own lives and has some kids become anorexic.

Don't Judge before you know


I had an earlier post that was about McDonalds that had posted an ad with chicken nuggets and a pit bull saying which one you would choose to eat. I have a lot of respect for the breed not only because I have owned pit bulls since I was little but because no one really knows how loving and caring the breed can be until they own one themselves or a friend/family member does. The history behind the pit bull is that they came into the world around the same time as Mastiffs did and they also get the same rep as the Pit bulls. They were used for protection from animals and people that would be trying to harm their family or friends, people then saw how loyal of a breed they are and either had them down the path of fighting or being a loving/caring animal in their home. This is the picture of my pup that just turned three years old. Her name is Storm and she has never bitten anything in her lifetime, I love her to death she is like a kid to me.

The Glass Castle


The book The Glass Castle was a good book to read, every sentence had me pulled in even more and reading till the book finished. I would encourage people who haven’t read the book to defiantly read it, the book will tug at your heart and know how some people live and hard it is on them throughout the life to have possible dysfunctional families. The book just keeps your reading wondering what will happen next and if everyone will end up being ok. I don’t want to tell you too much about the book, I do want to encourage people to read it though because it was an awesome book.

Overwhelming

Overwhelming
At this point in the end of the semester I do feel overwhelmed with all of the homework and finals that we do have. I do end up setting everything else in life a side and just focusing on school until finals and school are over with for the semester. This school semester has gone by really quick and I didn’t expect it would, I have learned a lot from this writing class. I have improved my writing a lot by learning to watch my spelling and sentence structure.
When I begin to feel overwhelmed I do feel like I won't be able to finish my work to the best of my ability. I know the items I do need to work on with writing is keeping on the one topic and not rambling on to make the essay or letter longer. I do feel this is how I look when I get stressed out, I do find ways to calm myself down, like surrond myself by people that love me and will encourage me.
