The Reflection of the Alimighty Blog Posts

First off I would like to say I've truly enjoyed this course this semester. Through the long nights deciding how to write about the different topics I made it through. The diffternt types of blog post has taught me the sense of responsibility and devotion.

The way I prepped to write my blogs this semester really helped me become a better writer. As I look back on my first blog post to the one I am posting now I see myself in my writing. I had to learn as a writer you have to express yourself and also keep your material interesting. With that being said I've chosen three blog post that I feel like I excelled in this semester.

The first Blog post I picked was the first blog post I've ever done: "All About Lenore (The Introduction)." This blog post was a mini series of what is expected of me and somethings about  you might have never known yours truly. In this blog post I expressed my goals in life, told a little about me, and named a couple of things I accomplished in  high school. In this blog i didn't have a lot of media nor hyperlinks but I explained myself and showed what is there to come from an Alabama girl. :)

The second blog post I picked was, "Why College Though?'' As a student at a major university I feel as if every student at a point of time has asked themselves, Why college? Well in this blog I explained the different reasons why I attended college and also some other decisions I could've made. Throughout high school I was involved in JROTC and my main focus was the military until I went to camp. In camp I decided the military wasn't for me so I began researching  some possible careers and colleges and came to the conclusion that I would attend Jacksonville State University and major in Nursing. To me this is one of the best decisions I've made in my entire life. This blog post was so meaningful to me that I decided to revise it for another blog post activity. In my revision, ( "Im In College Now Witches") I decided to go in debt of my accomplishments and explain to my peers and instructor why I chose college and the consequences of it. These blog post are my favorite because I got to really go in debt and express myself stating the reason I went to college and why college is Important to me. I feel as if this was my best piece this semester.

 

The final piece I decided to pick for this blog post is a blog post I am extremely proud of. Within this blog post I expressed the importance of college and also why is college good for me, for you, for anyone. In this blog post, "Is College Good Enough for me, for you, for anyone?", i took the time out to to stress the importance of asking yourself are you sure college is for you. In college we, students, go through peer pressure, arithmetic, and also dorm rooms. Everyone isn't equip to that lifestyle just yet so community college is a fresh start or even the military. In this blog post I decided to poor out my opinions and compared and contrasted them with others. This blog post took time and effort but also is a good read.

 

This semester has taught me the value of taking notes, having different learning abilities, and also staying focused. I am so honored that I am one of the many college students enrolled in a hybrid English learning class and can maintain it.

I'm In College Now Witches!!!! :))

My High School days are gone!!! (Wipes Forehead) Throughout my years of elementary, middle, and high school I often asked myself, Why college? Why would I choose college over the Military or a Good paying Job? It's because of success.  My family has a variety of ways of making money and also has different inputs on success. Such as mechanics, college, and the Military. My family is also strict on having an education and accomplishing your goals in life. So  throughout my high school career I was involved in JROTC (Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps) in which I developed leadership skills. While being involved in JROTC I met different people from different parts of the military, had my own recruiters, won awards, was on an award winning unarmed drill team, academic team, and excelled as a leader over many companies throughout my years in high school. I was involved so much in JROTC that the military was my main focus until my first week in JROTC camp. The different tasks we had to accomplish in a day was not something I wanted to do throughout my life or even for a short period of time. So I started to think about a career choice and different Universities.Throughout my years in high school I went on college tours and meet different people from different universities. My choices consisted of a school that had a good medical program, nice campus, friendly advisers, and great opportunities. After visiting a couple of colleges my senior year I choose three schools, Tuskegee University , University of South Alabama , and Jacksonville State University in which I made my home. I started thinking about becoming a nurse because of my mom. My mother is a Cardiac Nurse so I've always sat and talk to her about her day at work and her patients. So, one day I decided to do some research about nursing and the different benefits and programs available.  So my only way to become a nurse was to go to college and achieve my Divine potential in my studies. After I had some time to think about choosing the right career for me, I started to look at different nursing programs in the state of Alabama and their student ratios. Jacksonville wasn't my first choice but it was the best decision I've made so far. :)

Another reason I feel like I should attend college is so I can support my family. I feel as if I never want my children to need for anything and anything they ask for they will get.  Many of my brothers and sisters haven't finish college or went to college because of the decisions they have  made. To me college is as important as waking up in the morning. Now a days you cannot get a great job without having a college degree. Also why wouldn't you go to college? COLLEGE IS FUN!!!But College is not just about getting you education but learning how to be responsible and still have fun. In high school you had your family and teachers to really push you but in college you have to push yourself. It's your choice to wake up, go to class, and study.

To me college is a big part of life. It teaches you leadership skills, education, and how to be a responsible adult.
