What I've learned along the way

We have been in class for eleven weeks now and knowing there are only five weeks to go gets me pretty excited. So far in this class I have learned that how I write speaks volumes about me to the reader. I've also learned that much research needs to be done to compile reports and that there are many guidelines to follow to put a message together. 

I've also learned that technology and professionalism go hand in hand. I've never been intimidated by technology but I can't say that I've always stayed abreast of new trends. Until this class I've avoided twitter like the plague. I didn't see the effectiveness or even the point of it. Now I have a twitter account and I even check it when it's not assigned. 

Lastly, I've learned to persevere. This class and this semester have proven difficult for me to keep up with. My oldest son played Mighty Mites for the first time this year, my daughter was more involved in her youth group, and my youngest son is learning to ride a bike. I've worked over 40 hours every week since August and I played softball for part of the semester. Carving out time for all of my assignments has been tough and sometimes very challenging. For the first month of the semester I didn't have internet access at home and would either have to stay after class or go to McD's to get homework done.  But, I have made it through and I am looking forward to the rest of the semester and the crazy busy schedule from here to Christmas.
