This is the final bend!

Well this is the last blog for this class. This has been a very long challenging process but I feel good about this go round in Coll. Comp. Even though I wouldn't want to take another term in it unless I was able to keep my professor! I hope everyone did good and feel good about their results from this learning experience. I also feel good about my final paper, I was able to learn a lot about prostate cancer since that was what my paper was on. I wish I had a lot of the information I have now about this topic a few years ago to share with my dad. :( But I know he is looking down on me with a smile for the effort, sweat, and hard work I put into my paper!!!! I know can put all gained knowledge to work for my son's future and any loved one's I have or will come in contact with, to help them add years to their life without it being over taken by the "deadly" prostate cancer that seems to be the number 1 killer of our men.

I hope to stay in contact with my classmates so I will be on this blog a lot!!!!!
Talk to all soon....

My Feelings On My Final Paper

In this blog I am going to answer the questions posted in our unit page. With my paper being almost done the feelings I have are unexplainable. There is a mixture of feelings ranging from anxiousity, tiredness, and nervousness. I for some reason don't have the feeling of accomplished because I really don't feel that I have put my best into it. This I feel is beccause I have the stress of two papers being do in two different classes on two totally different topics. But I believe when I finally get them put together more ( in the next day or two) I will feel a little better about them both. I at this point still don't like writing, but I am walking away from this term feeling a little more comfortable with writing because I have learned a few more things on how I should be writing going into my profession. This second course of College Comp. has put more emphasis and understanding on what I walked awawy with from College Comp. I. Yes, in this term my idea of writing has change from the first term of writing. I would like to research more on the disorder of ADHD, and other cancers that are out here but not spoken much of. Well I hope everyone does great on their papers.
Oh and stay in touch rather it's through my blog, find me on facebook (Sharonda Lucas), or e-mail me through our e-mail on our course page for my e-mail address. Chat soon all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Almost Over!

Wow this term is coming to an end a rather quick. It seems like just 'yesterday' that this term started and now 'tomorrow" it's over.! It has been a very interesting and challenging term for me, I have learned a whole lot in my A&P II class about our body as a whole and boy it has been fun, interesting, and exciting all in one. My Coll. Comp. II class has definitely been a true challenge for me. Now I am praying hard that I can produce good grades in the both of my classes. I have major papers due next week for both classes and the research for both has been an overwhelming task, especially since I have been pulling doubles for the past two weeks and trying to make sure that my household is held together at the same time. But I guess that is one of God's given gift to women, the art of being under pressure and still able to juggle with a smile while coming out on top! I can only imagine what the next term has in store for me.......
Chat with you good folk soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello again, hope all is good with everyone. I doing but could be doing a heck of alot better. Finally get a day off and will be spending it doing more research for my papers that I have in Coll. Comp. II and A&P 2. Hoping I can also get some other work done that has to be done for each class. There just isn't enough time in a wee let alone in a day to get things taken care of. Oh the joy of juggling school, work, children, and a house. Hope to be back this week...... See ya!

Again I found something new here tonight and hope I will be able to get to it agin to write again!. I guess it doesn't hurt to play around with things to find out how to accomplish a goal. By the time I finally get the hang of this this term will be over LOL. But that's okay I plan to continue writing here after the term is over so I can at least keep up with a few of my classmates and get some self therapy at the same time.

Single Mom Doin' It: I hope this works cause I have no ideal of what I'...: "I hope this works cause I have no ideal of what I'm doing. Ok I found something new in this page on how I can post yea!!!!!"
I'm sad know :( I don't know how to get back to my little pencil I found last time to write with. Who would've thought blogging could be such a hassle!
But since I am here I guess I can let off a little steam...... I am starting to get rather upset about how my schooling isn't going in the direction I want it to be going. I just want to kick myself everytime I look at one of my books or my current grades. My grades aren't horrible but they also aren't wher I know they should be. Okay let me go back a little so I can unconfuse you.! This is my first time ever taking on line classes and I've been out of school for almost twenty years. This is my fourth term at Kaplan University, I was an A student and now I may be a B to C average (so hurtful). But I must say that I am proud of myself for making it this far. My last term was the worst term ever. The second week into the term my dad was diagnosised with prostate cancer, after undergoing surgery to remove the cancer things only got worst for him and my family. By late May early July the cancer had taken over my dads whole body. From the time my dad told us he had cancer and how agressive the cancer was that he was dealing with, my sister and her three children, stepmom, stepsister and her so, stepbrother, and me and my three children were there by his side. God was holding my sister and I in the palm of his hand and seen us through the roughtest. With our children still in school and our crazy work schedules we were still by his side daily. When I say crazy schedules I mean crazy. I have to be up at 430 a.m. to get ready for work (530 a.m. to 130 p.m.), children out of school at 330p.m. and 400 p.m till 12 midnight maybe 100 a.m. I was by my fathers bedside. Man it was the hardest thing in life to ever watch, someone who gave you life slowly let go of theirs day by day minute by minute. By mid July my dad lost the battle :...( To make it all even harder we buried him the day before my oldest daughter (his first grandbaby) birthday. Going through this was my breaking point, it almost pushed me to not wanting to finish school. But I had Professors and a couselor that was so understanding and helpful that encouraged me to finish my education. They also reittereated to me how important it was to me and my dad for me to finish. So, with all that being said here I am today venting in a blog, but yet still in school (yea me!!!!!) Now my goal is to get back to being an A student not just for myself but for my dad and children! Okay ya'll I'm going to end this blog here for now, and my next blog will be more upbeat, promise!!!!!!!
Ok, I found my little pencil that allows me to write on my board but now I can't figure out to get to another page to add a different posting. So, while I am able to write on my page I going to talk a little!
This time I'm stressed out with trying to stay above water with my two classes in which I had papers due in both at the same time. In doing two papers at once I so pray that my work don't run together as one paper titled " Prostate Cancer in the Digestive System" . Boy would that be a paper that would cause a lot of arguements LOL. But with a little more concentration on one paper at a time I will be okay, and hope to get a good grade on each. But I do hope all of you do good on your papers! Chat later...........
