I Use To, I Want To, I Have To

When i was little i couldn't wait to be able to write my name. I was one of the first few in my class to pick it up early, my mom had been working with me also do to the fact i was driving her crazy wanting to know how to write. As i got older i was writting alll the time, i even joined the lit club in junior high, and wrote some of the dialog for a few of the members of the team. Yeah Me!!! Even as i started my life as a mom i still wrote, but not as much as i wanted to. I was ether giving rides or fixing dinner, or what ever might be going on at the time. Now that i'm taking these classes and notice how much i write, and some of it is by habit,it's what i do. The lists, there is always a list, Or my endless revising on paper. I am not doing that here, i figured this might be a good way to stop some of that.I'm just setting here in front of the computer, with my head phones in ,listening to music letting things just come as thet will.Now with my new job, i have to write.I am the assitant to the director of the specical care unit. Which means i do assesments, and progress reports, the minutes from morning meettings, etc. I have no choice, but to be able to get my readers attention,as well as get information and facts prepared for print. So the skills i am learning are helping very much. The biggest, hardest thing is trusting my ability.

I Love My BullDog

I have a special bulldog, His name is Rosco P.Coletrain. His color is all black, with a white star on his chest. If you know the breed you know that is a rare color. They range from white on red, brendal, and red, white with black, not usely solid black.He came from a lit of two black males.This breed generally look like fat, old men but act like silly children.That goofy underbite reels you in,and they have hearts of gold, which makes them an awesome pet.Roscos' parents are full blooded English Bulldog, but after too much breeding ,the other breeds that make the English bulldog are more notible. For instantace , rosco is 86 lbs. and a very large bulldog.Long ago,Bulldogs had longer legs and a slightly different physique than the bullys we know and love today.That's why Rosco is special, when people see him they think is a pittbull, but no he is full blooded English Bulldog.The Bulldogs history reveals an evolution from fighter to lover.It's are to imagine,this specical bulldog , that is so loving and the biggest baby,attacking the legs of Roman soldiers as they marched into Britain as conquerors.Piture the bulldog raging into battle like a gladiator or bring down colossal bull, a vicious bear, even a lion. Today's bulldog doesn't exactly look like the old bulldogs so valued as warriors, hunters and fighters. Bulldog Club of America in Clinton, Iowa has a 28 scrapbooks of old drawings and photos that show how they have changed over the years.Rosco is a big-headed, wide- mouthed baby, he just weighs 86 lbs.

Too Many Storys In My Head

As normal here i set just before class, tring to get the words on paper.I have thought it threw,and have wrote it on paper. I just want to revise everything.Which is helpfull,becuse it pulls the story out on to the paper, but very stiphulling.I have always been the type who makes lists for everything. It's the same when i write.One of my first class starting college was a eng./writting class. I loved, but was so frecked out about the whole process of a deadline, but most of all ,other people would be reading my work. I dealed with that ,Then i had to make comments on others work.OOOOO may this was trouble.As the classes went on , i learned how to be critical without being harsh. I found that others liked my writting, and added to my a different prespectives to my stories.I have wrote several different types of papers.My favorite is Descriptive. I've wrote one about my role model, and one tittled Januarys Baby. My writting outside of class, seems to be easier because of this classes. I find myself spending less time on my patient assessments. I still revise, but not as much. I can write any where. I like to have music on, but it does'nt matter.My biggest issuse is all the revising. I know it helps bring the story out, but it makes the whole process tooo long.Deadlines and revising don't mix well.

Letter of Intro

DearStephanie 8/26/09 I I can’t believe that a year has pass since we first met. A lot has happened this year. First, let me say thank you for helping me find the joy of reading again. I have read more books in the past year then I had in the past 5 years. My family and friends used to call me a bookworm. When I was younger I taught the younger ones to read by reading to them. As we both know, with life and kids, jobs, we tend to forget some of the joyful things for the more pressing things. I didn’t take any summer class. I needed a break. Spring classes didn’t go so well. My car was stone right out of my driveway, so I had to depend on others for a ride to school. Which caused my attendance to be very low and that made my class grades low. I did get a new suv, so no excuses this semester. I had an awesome summer. We watched the fireworks on the riverfront, we also seen Hello Dave and The little river band on the riverfront I also started a new job in January. To remind you, I have been a C.N.A for 24 years and am now working for my R.N. I know work at Morton Terrace Nursing home on the Special care unit for Alzheimer’s residents. Just recently I was appointed the 1 on 1 Director. It’s the best job I have ever had. Although I am finding it hard to adjust to the changes! I’m used to do all the physical work that it takes to care for a sick person, but know all I do is interact with them. Keeping drifting minds busy is no simple task; it’s like one big party all day long. I have to think more and much more brain work/ paper work. It also means that I could cut my work hours down. Let me finish by telling you that reading has truly made a big difference in my life. Sincerely LaDonna Beever

Hospice-Dying with Didnity

Hospice is a medical specialty, which focuses on relief of pain, symptoms and stess of dying, or a life threating illness. It also maintains the qualty of life to the end. It deals with the emotional, social and spiritual impact of dying on the patient, family and their friends. Too my of our elders and terminally ill are dying horrible deaths.They go into nursing homes to die, family and friends stop visiting and the quality of life drops below than if they lived on the streets. This is where hospice does it's best work.Some veiw hospice as nothing more than assisted suicide.The Catholic tradition believes it's morally incompatible with the vision of a good death. That is, dying is not to be thought of as a uselees experience, but the last 4 most important things to do before you die. Which are, 1.saying i love you 2.saying thankyou 3.giving or asking for forgiveness,4. the most important one saying goodbye.This is what hospice is about. I am strongly against any form of suicide, for any reason and what hospice does for some many is not that.
