Last six weeks

My life in the last six weeks have really been exciting, I'm really close to getting my degree and I have been learning so many new things at Kaplan and in general. I'm enjoying classes a lot this term. This term I began to understand the importance of  writing well. I have really worked harder at taking more care when I complete an assignment. This six weeks has went by so fast and it puts me one step closer to obtaining my degree.

Life...

Hi class and professor this week I'm going to veer from my normal routine and try something new in my blog...




"He who has a why to live can bear almost any how".  ~Friedrich Nietzsche

"Here is the test to find whether your mission on earth is finished".  If you're alive, it isn't.  ~Richard Bach


To me these quotes are about finding your place and your purpose in this life. I think when we know what we are meant to do in life, living life becomes a lot easier when we face difficult times. This is how I deal with most challenges in life including school, I remember my goals.

Being an online student

Hello classmates and professor

I really like being an online student because of the flexibility, for the most part I have had really good professors. They have been very helpful. I have not reality considered the anonymity of being online because if people are fake they Will be so on computers, phone and even in person. Most of the time other than seeing how the person looks, unless they share a picture, you still get to know them a little by the conversations, not as much interaction as being on campus but, enough to make friends if you chose to. Online classes are self-directed to a certain degree, which helps make them more flexible than a campus classroom.

I think blogs and discussions are a good start to creating a close classroom.

Until next time,

Faith

Welcome to my new blog.

Hi, everyone. This is my first attempt at posting a blog for school. I enjoy my classes at Kaplan and I really appreciate all of the ways the professors try to make us feel connected as a class, as I become more comfortable with blogging I hope my blog becomes more interesting.
