Attending College

Going back to college was not an easy decision to make. I am a single mother of 3, lost my job in October. This was a real eye opener this made me look at my self and evaluate where I wanted to be in life. I was done being a non college degree seeking individual. I want to be able to do something that I love something that makes me want to go to work every morning not something I am forced to do since I dont have a degree.

I have worked in the medical field and I know that with out a degree I am going to be stuck at a front desk job and that is not what I want to do for the rest of my life I want to be a somebody instead of a no body. I am looking forward to being a surgical tech, I find surgeries very very interesting. I cannot wait to be part of a patient care team and something that I will feel rewarded to do every day.

Research Papers

This is probably one of the first research papers that I have had to write. I am not a very confident writer so it has been a challenge for me. But I belive the paper that I am creating is a good paper and I have had a good time writing it. My biggest challenge is the organization of the arguments that need to take place with the Media and self image. I will be sumitting my research paper to the Smartthinking several times to get it adjusted to a perfect paper hopefully.

This class has been a learning experience for me it is simply amazing how many resources are out there to use to help you acheive more in your learning. With this being said wish me luck I am on my way to continue editing.

Logical Fallacies

When you really look at it there are several fallacies you hear everyday whether it be on the radio, tv or on a sign. These are things that almost seem to good to be true but we all have believed them. I like to exercise so the one that really amazes me is that you take this magical pill. This pill will make you loose weight eating the same way you have been to make you as big as you have gotten. In reality the pill may help you but you also have to make an effert to loose the weight too. This may be by going to the gym or just simply eating right. People fall for this daily if only it was that easy! If it was that easy no one would be over weight and no one would exercise all we would have to do is pop that magical little pill and poof all our fat would be gone. Let me know when this is discovered cause I will be the first one to purchase this item.

Exercise

This is a huge issue that I care about in my life. Yes it is time consuming and takes determination to do it. I believe that there are way to many people in the world who are over weight but also lazy. You often here these people complaining about how over weight they are but seem to do nothing about it. I worked in a doctors office, I saw many over weight people coming in asking for diet pills or how they can have surgery. Come on people really put a little effort into you weight loss and you can do it just like the rest of us.

The doctor that I actually worked for had a gentleman come in that was 350 lbs the Dr told him that he would get him into surgery if he was able to loose 100 lbs. It took this guy 1 yr to loose a hundred pounds but with determination and hard work he was able to do it. When he came to see the Dr the Dr told him that he was able to have the surgery. This gentleman was not going to let the Dr sign him up for surgery he declined it and said I can loose this all on my own I made it this far I am going to keep going. All of us were very impressed with his will power.

I am a true believer that our country we have a ton of issues with lazy people not sure how we can fix this but this is a huge issue I have with over weight lazy people!

Caffeine Crazies

I am one who has to have a diet coke a day, I limit my self to one. It is truely amazing that some peoples bodies are so dependent on caffeine to function. I know I can tell a difference when I dont have the one diet coke a day. To me my caffeine habbit is not bad but some people are insane as to how much they actually drink in a day.

The craze of energy drinks scare me there should be no reason as to why you need to have a energy drink with 280mg of caffeine in it. Doesn't that make you scared when you are drinking it as to what the side effects are going to be? I would be so scared I was going to have a heart attack I would not even be able to enjoy it.

As for bottled water I am totally guilty of buying bottled water just due to the convience factor. I have several bottles in the cubbord that I could use to bring with me when I head to the gym but why would I do that when I can grab one that is already filled up and bottled. I am very good about drinking water but yes it does have to be bottled. Some reason my brain thinks it tastes better. I know weird right.

I think if bottled water makes a person drink more then go for it buy as much bottled water as you would like.
