week 10 did they go by fast and now at the end

The first thing I would tell them to is to make sure that you give the credit due to who it is due. Since that is the most important thing I think.
The main problem that I'm still having is this thesis statement. I might be the one that is making it hard for me to get it down.
I know that i did enjoy this class. I don't think that it was as hard as writing comp I class was. Everything was put out there to be understood. Had fun in class to.
What was cool to me is learning how to do this blog thing. I'm still not to sure about it but it has been fun. Got to know fellow class mates and what they were going through. I think that I have learn a lot this term.

Unit 9

I feel that I have accomplished a lot this term. Learn how to write better and how to blog. Which still is I don't know everything on what I'm doing and all. I believe that comp II was not as hard as comp I was to me. I enjoyed this class more. I like the discussion board there was a lot of information and support by everyone. As of yet I still don't have my final paper back from the writing center. But then I'm not going to worry about it. I will read it again and make corrections that I see and turn it in.

Unit 7 Blog

I'm going to commit on two of the topics. I just can not pick just one. I fill that peer reviews are a very good thing. But you have that to have an opened mind for there commits. You can take and use what they say or you can forget them. I fill the more eyes that look at is better. Some one might see something that you have over looked and all. For the research, I have found a lot of things that there are things that doctors or researcher don't agree on. Like for if caffeine is good or bad for your body. Some say that it could be some of the other thousands of thing that are in the coffee and tea and the other things that has caffeine in them. It caffeine is bad for you why are they putting it in prescription and over the counter drugs then...
Hummm... I guess that it is like the smoking or second hand smoke is the cause of cancer..... Then someone that didn't smoke but gets cancer. and then some that do smoke and don't get cancer... Or is it from all the factories that has released so many chemicals out in to the air that is the true cause... So what is really true about it all.... Do they really know the truth.... Or is that why they have put all the restrictions on these factories.....

Grand Kids Are Special











I have 5 Grandchildren, 3 girls and 2 boy. Which the 2 youngest ones live here at grandpa's. The 2 youngest ones were born this year and during this term. So yes I have been very busy this term.
The oldest is Alex Frances. She was born in Feb, 2006. Then her little sister Lillian frances. She was born in Jan, 2008. Both of them are in TN. with there mother and father. They belong to the oles daughter April.
The first grand son Harlen Reidman was born March 5, 2009. He belongs to the son. Which none of get to see him due to his mother. But hopefully that will be changing here soon.
Now for the two new Born's for 2010. The grandson
who's is named after his dad and I. His name is Ronald Lee Trimmer III, was born Jan. 29, 2010, at 10:29 PM, he weighed 8 lbs 2 oz, and was 20 inches long.
Then the newest grand daughter her name is Michelle Roze Davis. I'm not happy with the last name. She weighed 6 lbs 14 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. She belongs to the youngest daughter Elisabeth who is 17 years old. She still has 2 years of high school to go. Her plans are to finish high school and then go to college.
Both the son and his girl friend and our youngest daughter and the two new born grand babies live here, plush the first ex or the kids mother and I all live together. So the kids and grand kids have grandpa and grandma to help them out if need be.
Now out of the two babies who is the loudest one? I will say this much Michelle had everyone up the first night that she was home. The uncle and grandma also had to work that day to so they were not to happy of campers.
As grand parents you want to be there for all the kids and grand kids. As a parent you don't really get to see your kids grow as you would like to if you in the armed services. Because you gone a lot of the time. So now I'm try to spend as much time with the kids and the grand kids as I can.

Unit 5 witing stuff

The only writing that I have done. Was mostly while I was in the military. Had to write up counseling, statements, award. I had a challenge of writing civilians that work for the Army on there annual performance's, which was totally different from active duty. Since I retire in 1995, I have not had to do to much write in the jobs I have had since then. What I hated was witting and having to rewrite them. But then they say that you learn from your mistakes. I wish that I would of had these writing classes a long time ago. I think that they would have been a great help back then. I hope that every one is having a great week.
Still waiting for the youngest daughter to have her baby. I will let you all know when she gets here. See you in class.

how stupid I'm forgot to do my blog for this week.

I fill that the citations are very important in everyone life. It is to give the credit were it needs to be given. We don't want someone to use or take the credit for something that we done. So give the credit to the person that done it. Lets say that you had a food drive going on and you had more people give then anyone else did. but the person in charge took all the credit is that right?

What Education Is To Me

I myself like the online classes. I can relax at home, dress how I want to drink coffee, smoke during class if I want to. No Rules to go by but to do what is required by the class at hand.

This is my 4th term here at Kaplan University, I have noticed that in the 6 of the 8 classes that I have been in so far that I have been the only male in the classes. I think that if I was in a class room environment I would fill out of place and all. I know that it is only a mind thing but that would bug me for sure. But online I'm fine with it.

I also believe that we learn something new everyday or we get a better understanding on something we were not sure about. An example of this is this blog thing. I know that we all have made new friends in all of the classes to.

A little about myself. I retired from the Army in 1995 as a staff Sergeant (E-6) I was in the Army from Aug. 1977 - Jun. 1995, I was a volunteer Fire Fighter/ First Responder from 1992 - 1997, I was a mover for 2 years, then in 1997 - 2005 I was an over the road truck drive, 2005 - 2007 I drove a truck local. Till I messed up the rotor cuff and had it repaired and now I'm Looking for a full time job. I do have a job but it is only seasonal plowing snow for the state.

I started going for my associates degree in Medical assisting in Jun. 2009. I hope to have it completed by Jun 2011 and be working in the medical field full time.

I hope that this blog is what I was to do it on and everything. See you all in class have a great week and great learning to.
