Hey guys, between working, taking care of your kid(s), and school, do you ever have a day where it's devoted just for you? Personally I devoted every other Friday which is what I call " Mommy Day". Being that everyday I am a mom and motherhood calls 24/8, It can be challenging but doing this helps give me the pick me up that I need. Mommy day can be me being in the house in my pj's and catching up on my shows or treating myself to a manicure and pedicure. The reason why its every other Friday because normally when its not mommy day, I spend it with my son and we go out and enjoy each others company. Everyone should have a day or even a minute where they can collect their thoughts or take a break from the struggles of life. I find that giving myself some "Me" time, I'm more energized, positive, and I feel like I can conquer anything the next week throws at me. When I didn't save time for myself, I would stress, be depressed and feel like I wasn...
Hey guys, this week I will be talking about my transition from week one to now the last week of English 102. Looking back on week one to now week 14, I've noticed a big transition within myself. For it to be my second time around blogging, I must admit this experience can never get old. I find myself wanting to blog on blogger more than be on social media. On blogger, I feel more free and open to talk about my personal life experiences and my opinions on certain topics. Recently I've been more free and open about certain situations I never once was open to talk about. During week one of this class, I was nervous to even speak in front of a large group of people, now majority of my talking is done in front of twelve to twenty-five people max. Writing long essays has never really been my thing until I been in this class. My professor showed me how to use the rhetorical triangle properly in my essays. The rhetorical triangle is a triangle broken up into three appeals; pathos(emotional), ethos(credibility), and logos(logic). He taught us that the standard five page essay is limiting our ideas, since then I love writing essay. The way my teacher explains things in detail makes me feel confident in writing anything pertaining to essays. I gained a new positive attitude in English, and I feel more confident in my journey in becoming a registered nurse. I know this job will require me to talk to different patients and their families but I'm ready. Throughout this fourteen weeks, I learned to establish a tone of voice and expand my vocabulary to use different words instead of the simple words I was used to. I'm very thankful for my professor because he made me bring out my creative side ( which I didn't know I had😤). This blogging thing was fun , week fourteen showed me I'm capable of doing anything I challenge my mind to do..
I'm glad I am not the only one who has enjoyed blogging! :) Cute illustration with the caterpillar- very fitting
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way. At the beggining it was har for me to start up the bogs, but know I feel like I am more confident about it. Applying the rhetorical triangle has been hard for me.
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
I also want to let you know I saw your comment on my blog. I unpublished my post it and published it back, but it deleted your comment.
Yay! We're almost done! This is such positive news. I agree with you about blogging. At first blogging was so new and unfamiliar. It was difficult trying to get used to it. Now we're all blogging experts. Great post! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy that we are almost done with this semester, blogging was a whole new thing I was introduced to, but at the same time I've learned a lot. Great post.
