I always had the hunger for education, thirst for knowledge, and curiosity about life. It was my dream to get education, have a career, get married, and then have a family. I am pursuing those things but necessary in that order. I graduated from high school, got married, and have raised four kids. The dream of going to college was put on hold, however it never left me. I am in college now, hopeful to graduate, and earn my undergraduate bachelor degree in Health Education on May 30, 2008.

My reaction

My reaction:
Creating a blog and developing an E-folio was a great experience for me. The whole paper looks so much nicer and more professional. I love the layout and organization of my paper. www.blogger.com made it possible for me to create my paper. I like posting, pasting pictures, creating new blogs, arranging and organizing my paper. Blog makes it easier to communicate with others such as a professor can assign homework, assignments, announcement and so much more.
