My Writing

I find it easier to write about the things I already know. The words flow easily and at times in all directions. Typing all my thoughts on the subject can be considered somewhat of a release. Once all the information has poured from my fingertips onto the page it is time to focus. The focus is to choose one to three areas of the subject to discuss. My goal is not to sound as if I am on a soap box ranting and droning on about the subject.
Recently, I have found writing about the things I of which I am not an expert is a nice change. I have to research the subject in its entirety. By researching the subject I am able to have a fountain of information to pour over and choose the one area I would like to focus and learn more about on the subject.
All in all writing is both a learning and growth process. I must leaarn what to put in and most importantly what to leave out of my writing. There are some topics that are too personal to write about in an essay. Other topics are open for discussion and input is easier to take.

My Children

My oldest son is a college freshman. It is almost as if I blinked and he was grown. He is already thinking about changing his major and altering his career choice. I feel this is a good move for him due to the fact he is enrolled in general education classes.
My younger son graduates high school this year. His graduation day approached too quickly. He is a young man and ready to embark on his future. Next fall he too will be a college student working toward his educational goals. Presently, he is overwhelmed with the number of choices he has in the area of career.
My oldest daughter is a high school freshman and knows she will attend SIU. She has changed her major a few times, and I feel she will be set when she arrives at college and changes will be at a minimum. Her career choices range from social worker to attorney, psychologist to teacher. I believe she will do something that will make a difference in the world.
My youngest daughter is in thrid grade. She is a very bright child like her older siblings. Her goal is to make a difference. Right now she would like to be a teacher but I know that will change as she gets older. My youngest is a person all of her own. When she was younger she seemed like she had a little bit of each of her siblings personalities rolled into one. But now she is truly an individual.
All of my children in ym opinion are very talented and intelligent. They bring me much joy in this life which is a blessing. I hope each will follow their heart and do what they feel passionate about as adults.

My Writings

My writing lately has been a struggle. I seem to be held in place on my first essay. Continuously looking over it wondering how to change it to something more worthy of an A. It seems to be a very far reach away. Lucky for me Stephanie has given me guidance to improve what I have begun. I am hoping this will work so I can finally put the paper to rest rather than continue the tweaking process. This is the longest I have spent finishing a paper and feel a little stress.
Presently I am insearch of how to improve not only mi first paper but my second one also. The second paper does not seem to be as much of a task as the first. So, I will complete it and be able to lay it to rest.
Lastly, I will need to produce two more papers of better than C quality to achieve the grade i want by the end of this class. I am somewhat timid when it comes to approaching yet another paper for class. But I will continue on and take it as it comes. It is helpful my peers review the papers and help guide me to the best possible paper I can produce.
