Week #6 myself as a writer (redo)

To me my writing has improved a lot. I'm not making as many mistakes as I was before. The mistakes that I used to make on previous writing assignments, I am paying more attention to. working on the definition essay wiki page was fun because i learn better as a visual learner and hands on learner, so when i got to play around with the fonts and pictures it made me want to read my own page and keep adding on to it. even though i may have a few mistakes here and there, because i'm trying to use my text messaging text words in my writing as short cuts, I would say that i have improved about 50 percent and that there are a few things that i could work on.
also, going to the studio is a great place to go. they helped me so much during our last paper. Even though it was already graded. I took the revised paper and made it better and know i understand better on what i needed to work on and what i needed to pay more attention to. The most important thing was to keep an eye on my verb tenses becuase i had some in past and some in present. so when you are stuck I encourage to go to the studio to help you with your writng. they helped me improve and I'm sure they will help you.

Week 9.... being a cna

Being a certified nurse assistant (CNA) is an interesting job. I am working as a cna at a nursing home. It takes a lot of work out of you.. It takes a certain person to be able to be a cna. At least to me, it does. I have been a cna for about a year now and i went to ICC to get my certificate while attending high school. It took a lot of studying but it was worth it. As i walk through the nursing home almost everyday to work I think about me being there one day and how i would want a funny, energetic, and a cna who would want to be there instead of being a cna who thinks they have to be there. To me a cna needs to be up to speed but not rush the residents as they need comfort and someone to talk to also. Being a CNA was really the best jobs that i have had. You do a lot of dirty work, but if you look at it, one day you're going to need someone to do that to you when you get older. When i go to work i usually work at night so i am getting the residents ready for dinner and taking them to the restroom and then treating their needs. Then at the end of my shift i get them ready for bed. You usually creat a bond with at least one resident. I have bonds with several residents. You really have to love what you do in order to work as a cna and go to work everyday to make residents happy. So having a cna certificate is something good to have even if you dont like working in a nursing home. YOu can work at a doctors office, hospital, or even like a prompt care. Its a great career to begin with..

my way of writing....Week 8

My way of writing is changing. At first my writing was improving with activities and with topics that i really enjoy. The defenition essay sounded boring at first. When we started the wiki my writing came to me and it was easy. Now i'm having trouble coming up with trings when the topic kind of wears off and isn't as interesting. Now when i write I actually have to really think and do a lot of planning that i didn't have to do before.
Doing research and then trying to intrepet it can be confusing for me. But as i do more and more research for my definition essay is helping me with that. Since this class has started, i have come a long way with my writing and my format of my writing.
Also, going to the studio was a major help when i revised my paper after it was graded. they helped me catch a lot of my gramical errors that i didn't even catch. Also, my verb tenses were corrected. so no i keep a better look out for those errors and understand it a little better.
Hopefully by the end of this class i will be able to write better than i do now...

week 7...Bump in fees hits drivers equally

Why do we need all this construction? Our economy is already hurting now the government wants to raise prices and taxes on certain things. On Oct. 11, driver’s license fees in Illinois will triple to $30. In January, $30 vehicle title fees will jump to $95, and vehicle registration fees will cost $99, an increase of $20. Drivers with January renewal deadlines will see the increase on notices sent in December.Those and some related fee increases for secretary of state services will provide more than $300 million a year in new funding to help pay for the state’s multibillion-dollar capital construction plan. Vehicle fee increases make up the biggest chunk of capital plan funding, outstripping increases to taxes on alcoholic beverages, sugary snacks and cosmetic products, as well as new revenue from video gambling. It is said that all of the vechicle fees go into the state’s road fund, which covers maintenance and construction projects. The other half goes to driver’s education or other needs, depending on the fee. Now what are they going to do next? There are people struggling already.
