Personally I don't think I am the best writer but I do believe I have gotten a lot better at it. To be quite honest I had never written a paper before until I started here at Kaplan. I have learned many different ways to get prepared for writing a paper. I have tried just about every writing technique to see which I one I was better with. I personally like to free write it allows me to get whatever it is on my mind onto paper a lot faster. From there I can find information to back up my ideas and make it a stronger paper. I like using the outline a lot because to me it’s a better structure for whatever you are going to write and it is easy to follow. I would have to say that writing would have to be my biggest academic challenge, but I have learned to get over my fears and be able to take negative feedback about my writing. I know I’m not the greatest writer but I have made great improvements. I still have a hard time with writing from time to time, just knowing that I am being graded on it. I always try to do my best and that's why I think I was able to take on this challenge and improve in it.
I do feel school has great influences in my life. Every since I started college I have made many great changes in my life style. I am more focused on getting my degree so that I can financially take better care of my child and mostly so that my fiancé doesn’t have to work out of town anymore to support us. Going back to school has allowed me to focus more on what is more important in life. I am definitely glad to be where I am today.
I enjoyed reading your blog, seems you have a great plan for you and your family. Going for your degree now while your child is still young is definitely the time to do it. I two children that will graduate college by the end of this year. One will be 31 in February a single mom of two and the other is 29 married with two little ones. They are the reason I am finally going for my degree, I wished I could have gone for it in my younger days but like they say it is never too late. Keep up the good work and good luck with your degree.
