Blogging and Me

Ok, It's day four of my new master's program. So far so good. I'm realizing two things how much there is to know about technology and that I don't know even half of it. Because this course requires me to blog, I will be helping myself gain knowledge in this area. I hope I gain it really quick, because for the past four days I have been editing and redesigning my blog page, in an attempt to get it right. OMG! Hopefully by Sunday it will be right. Any who, I have been enjoying interacting with my peers in the course. I think its going to be a great course. Though, I am not new to online learning, but jitters come anytime I begin a new course. Mainly in fear of the unknown, but hey, I'm up for a challenge. Until next time. Happy blogging!

Hello Julie,

Thanks for the encouraging comment. We can definitely work this thing together. Two heads are better than one. I am also looking for to the journey. I think I am both scared and anxious to see what the other courses hold for us.

I am energized by your enthusiastic attitude. I hope the jitters go away for you. I am a perfectionist and this is a challenge for me as well. I have not read Stand Tall Molly Lou Melon but it looks like one I would like to read to my children. I often read them the OK books by Todd Parr. They have a similar message.

This is my first blogging assignment. This looks like something that I could get into. I am always looking for new books. I will check this one out and let you know if my kids liked it or not.

Relationships

I currently have healthy relationships with my two sisters, my brother, my sons, my daughter, my father, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and colleagues. These relationships are healthy because we first take the time to acknowledge each other as individuals, keeping in mind that we come with our own beliefs, needs, desires, goals, and morals. Respecting each other and working through issues, help us to maintain open lines of communications. As we all know that no relationship is perfect, but being committed to forming strong relationships, can help everyone learn to be better people.

Personal Advocacy Reflection

I cannot pinpoint just one individual to talk about as it relates to advocacy and its effect on my life. There have been a number of people who have advocated and shared important information with me. So to name just one person would not be fair, because they all have impacted me greatly. All through-out my journey to pursue my higher learning education. These individuals have been very positive in sharing information as it relates to school and other opportunities. Because they were so supportive, I was able to pursue three separate degrees consecutively. They were also compassionate and encouraging as I raised my children as a young single mother. Through the sharing of vital information, I excelled higher and to greater places in my life. As a result of their kindness, I am paying it forward by sharing information and resources with others that may be looking to pursue a better life. I always find myself encouraging young mothers to do their best as mothers and to pursue more education in an effort to be a better provider for their young family. I pick up informative brochures and flyers that I come across when I'm out in the district for my job. I share those flyers and brochures with those young mothers and anyone else who's interested. I just believe that we must not be afraid to reach out to lending a helping hand, not a hand-out.

Relationship Reflection

As a mother of three, a sister, a daughter, a friend, and an employee, building and being apart of strong lasting relationships is very important to me. It is important to me, because it allows me to be accepted by my peers. It allows me to contribute to the lives of others in a positive way. It also allows me the grand opportunity to learn from the individuals I have relationships with. Learning how to give, receive, value the opinions of others, and agreeing to disagree are all some of the things I learn as I interact with my sisters, brothers, friends, children, and co-workers. Being able to see the world from the point of view of others is an awesome thing, because they can point out very important points, when our selfishness tend to rear it's head. Healthy relationships allow us to bear our feelings to others, our weaknesses revealed, enabling us to be strong by the strength and helping hands of others.
