Another week gone by........

Well another week is almost over. It is Friday of Memorial Day weekend. Most people are getting ready to spend time with family. There are plans of picnicing and swimming to escape the insufferable heat that has surrounded us as of late. I am one of those people who have such plans. I will be going away for the weekend to see a sister I have not seen in two and a half years. But before I go I am getting what I can done for school so I can spend the weekend relaxing and enjoying the family and friends whose company I will enjoy for such a short time.
I want to touch on the topic of my paper. The one idea I have is to do it on treating children with adhd. This topic hits home for me because my son has this disorder. I myself had to undergo alot of scrutiny when he was first diagnosed and I decided to put him on medication. I believe that it is personal choice and that everyone does things differently. As I told the friends and family who opposed to this choice, they do not live my life and they do not know the entire situation. They were not the ones who were worried their child was going to hurt themselves or their other children. Our situation and home life were not ideal at that time so I felt I handled it the best way for us. I personally do not condemn anyone who medicates their child nor do I condemn anyone who does not. It is a personal choice. Sorry...I get all fired up about this subject. I am going to go for now.

Welcome to my blog...

Hello fellow students. We are now into our second week of the term. I am looking forward to all of the upcoming units and getting to know everyone!! I have introduced myself in the first unit but I am going to talk a little about myself once again. I am a 26 year old mother of 3. My children are ages 8, 5, and 4. My son is the oldest and the younger two are both girls. They are a handful but I wouldn't have it any other way!! I love them and they make my life so interesting and fun. They are the main reason I am returning to school after being out for so long. I want to make a better life for them and myself. I am not with their father but I have a wonderful man in my life. He is amazing to both myself and the kids. I would be lost without him! I am attending Kaplan with the goal of attaining my Associate's degree in Health Information Technology. I would like to use this degree to work as a Medical Coder. I plan to work towards my Bachelor's degree after obtaining my Associate's degree. So far school has been interesting and challenging all at once. There have been times that I was sure that I could not go any further or have gotten stuck on someting that I did not understand. But I am determined to push through and graduate!! I must be doing something right because I am now in the honors program. This is the first term that I have had an honors class. It is already challenging but I know I can do it!! I know that everyone else can do good in their classes!! I truly believe that anyone can do anything they set their mind to!! I have recently joined the Lia Sophia team as a jewelry advisor. I love it!! The jewelry is beautiful and I have met some of the most amazing women since joining. I am my own boss and I work when it fits into my schedule!! I am so glad that I took the chance to join with them!! Well that is enough about me for now!!! I'm off to be the awesome doemstic goddess that I am lol!!

Well it is the start of another term at Kaplan. I am looking forward to getting to know my new professors as well as my fellow students. It should be a fun and interesting term for me!! I start my first honors class this term. It is going to be challenging but I am definitely up for it!! I can't wait to get started. Good luck to all of my fellow classmates in this and all future terms!!!
