Life as a Non-Traditional Freshman

  Hello Bloggers, 👋 Can you believe it?😱 We are almost at the finish line.🥳 Even though this was a short session, it was very informative. It almost feels as if the info was crammed, but that's neither here nor there. Tonight's topic is Comparing and Contrasting "Academic Writing in High School with Academic Writing in College." While both share similarities, they are certainly different. The design of both is to display info in the correct grammatical form, research ideas, and convince your readers. In both parts, you are to use proper citations to avoid plagiarism and credit the original authors. Here are a few points of view on high school and college writing.                 High School:  In high school, academic writing is used to show knowledge to understand a particular subject.  Writing often draws attention to a formal, neutral voice.                 College Co...

  Hello Fellow Bloggers, It's nice to "see" you here with me again, lol. Tonight, I'm going to speak about Boyd's Essay "Murder." I'll get straight to the point because I'm at work right now. On page (88) It really caught my attention that she used the phrase "Getting in Touch with Your Inner Detective" and asked -What types of details did you find yourself adding? why -What details did you omit? Why? And from what I understood is that you have to discern, define, observe, and show your expertise in reading and writing. Just like what the detectives do in the real world or in any of the crime shows we watch on TV. To answer the question, do I find her persuasive? I most definitely do, and that's because she explained what is needed to become a good writer.                                                      Works Cited Boyd...

 Hello fellow bloggers, So, I am going to get straight to the point BUT I want this piece to be enjoyable to read also. But in my essay, I wanted to give some insight into why the education major would be a good fit and what some of the benefits of possibly having that degree are. It was supposed to be a little persuasive and slightly argumentative on how this major would be better than any others but I don't think I did a good job on that part. I tried to throw in a little logic only Because at the end of the day, this is just my opinion and not facts. From what I researched and from what I experienced pursuing this Education degree, you would be  Making a Difference , you will have the opportunity to directly impact the lives of young children, helping them reach their full potential and that is just to name a few. Who's to say other degrees won't have the same effect, but this is what I have chosen. A figure from Rebecca Jones just to show that I really don't have an...

Hey there,  Thank you for reading my blog. It's a beautiful day or should I say "Night" haha to write blog # THREE!!! Here goes nothing. So after taking the time to read and try to analyze Mike Bunn's How to Read Like a Writer I've come up with a few things that I enjoyed and want to share with you all. I liked how Bunn explains what it Means to Read like a writer. Instead of writing just so that people would read your article you have to actually set a tone and make it so that your audience can understand and grasp what you have written. I noticed that Bunn mentions how he uses paraphrases instead of drawn-out quotes. Which I think is a plus. Because if you use a quote that only you understand how would you expect your readers to know what you are talking about. UNLESS they look it up but I doubt they would go that far. That's just a little bit of my take on the Mike Bunn portion of the reading space.  Again thank you to all who considered reading my blogs or...

 Hello fellow colleagues,  I actually chose to write about procrastination. I've struggled with that since middle school and now I'm well out of high school and that demon is still following me! From getting to events on time to completing daily tasks. It seems as if I always wait till the last minute. I mean it's only because I feel like I have so much to do in so little time. So I took the time out to do a little bit of research on the LLM *drumroll GEMINI! When it comes to procrastination I found out that the reason that I may procrastinate a lot is because of lack of motivation or poor time management and that's just to name a few.  I came up with a few ideas to try to help me overcome those. I  hope that some of you guys can take the time to read my essay to see what strategies I came up with. 

 Consuela Stanley here,                 I am a late 20's , single mom. I was born and raised in Macon GA. From the time I was born up until age of 5 I have undergone multiple open heart surgeries to try to fix congenital hear defects. Since the first day I came home from my first day of school in Kindergarten I knew I wanted to be a teacher. That has been my dream since I was little girl. Even though at the time I just looked at it as an authoritative figure who tell kids what to do, instead of teaching. I guess that was just the sassiness and bossiness in me haha... But as I got older I realized it was about teaching, and I knew that's what I wanted to do as far as career. I want to be there for kids in ways that some adults weren't there for me. With this class, It will help me if pursuing that goal.  Thank you for your time and reading a little bit about me.
