Last post for the writing class

Hi

Well what could I say to someone who is writing a first time paper. Well I would tell you that find a lot of research and keep the facts to facts. Knowing that its hard when you want to take a side that you can not. That is really hard for me. I wanted to make points that, Yes depression is hard to deal with but you can over come depression with enough medical help. That is what medical care profession is out there for.
The areas I feel that I have over come are being more clear when I am writing and making an accurate points and not judgmental points. This is really hard for me because i wanted to say that societies do treat people different when they they feel that they a medical issue of any sorts. Writing with words that are more adulthood by that I mean not using words that make my paper too wordy.
When finishing up I have to say that its very true when you have a teacher that cares about your work that it makes it better. You feel more confident in your work. Sometimes we might feel that are teaching is picking on us when really they are working with us. A lot I have learned is do not be too judgmental and try your hardest because your teacher will see your hard work.

Week Nine blog

With weeks nine blog I have done it but because the storm has knocked out are power so it did not save. But as I worked so hard on my paper I did not get a grade that good. I am sorry about that. I have redone my work several times. I am not sure if I am ever going to be a good writer. That does bother me. Sometimes with a research it gets really hard because we have a lot of things that we want to say but can not say them because of as a writer you can not take a side. I have to say that I learned that paramedic was really helpful. As the paper came closer to end it was harder to hand it in because i did not feel that I had enough on my paper. APA format is very hard also. But as I am writing my own word is really hard but working as a medical transcriptionist I feel that I am going to be better at writing someone else words then mine. More I do through out my courses I feel that I have picked a better choice for me then I thought.
As I worked on this paper I found it hard to find topics to do that were not controversial. But I think that if I had to write another paper, I would do it on teen pregnancy. That is such a raise but there are parents who don't want to put there daughter on birth control. So where does a parent do when they find out they are pregnant. Sometimes we have to a say well what do we do if we do not want are children pregnant well as parents we have to change are thinking and change are ways.

LIfe is so funny

Hi everyone.

So here I am worried that someone is thinking that my paper is trash and I need some major work. Well I knew that!! They told me in such an awesome manner that helped me, not make me feel although I am stupid or do not know what I am talking about. Honestly I do know what I am talking about now getting it worded is very hard. That is what I am working on now. I have Lara who is helping me on face book and another one that sent me an email. Totally forgot her name. That is because I am really sick this week. Tomorrow I have to have a cat scan. Being sick and having that on my mind I really have not had time to work on my paper. But I am making the time.
Sense Sept 27th I had to find time to do school work and heal. On that date my husband tried to kill himself. Thank god he did not do it successfully. I am so thankful for that. I have a date that he will be coming home on December 26th and we can start are life over and have a better marriage.
I do think that I am going to keep my blog because it helps me get my mind and thought organized and i know what I have to do. I would like people to feel to keep in-touch with me. I have met such wonderful people on here that I would like them to keep in touch.

This weeks blogg

When I am not one that really likes to read other peoples paper. I feel that I am judging someone. That is really hard for me because i am not a judgmental person. When asked to do this i feel like I am being mean or something like that. Its really hard for me to be that way. When I think about doing a research project. I guess I am wrong. I took my topic and and searched what I could about about depression. I found three good articles I could use. I took the information and wrote it in my paper. I was asked the question where is the source that says this. Well I didn't have a source, i knew this information. I guess I though that it was general information. So you learn do you take it out or what. Then they think you stole it. I do not understand that either. Because i did not have a source possible stealing. So Writing a paper for school yeah is hard because you write something you have to know where it came from. Even though you did it through out many sources. Not sure what to do about that.

Whats happened in the last 6 weeks

A lot has happened in the last 6 weeks that I am not sure what to do with my self. I was recently diagnosed with PTSD. I have been working on making it go away. Just go away. Not understand it or even want to discus why I have PTSD. Then I started this class and has to research a topic. I though that maybe PTSD would be great. The more I read into it the more I needed to understand where it came from. Then I realized I didn't have that much time to do a paper. I couldn't even make my mind up on the direction. Then I saw an article on depression and this was a first time that saw a direction that I wanted to take. This is the first time that I did not hear that depression was caused by war. I know I shouldn't of felt that way about PTSD but no one has written that PTSD is caused by anything other then War. They are the reason that the PTSD is so widely known now. But a traumatic even is what causes PTSD. Unless someone was to talk about it gets hard. Writing my paper on depression I am taking the action of medication do work and there are some out there that are for everyone and you can live on medication and counseling. But in the end you will be able to live a healthy life. Health is so important now a days. I am not saying that medication is for everyone but when sitting on the table at the doctors office, what is the first thing that happens. We think that we are going to put on medication. But is that so. Not always. if you have the right heath care provider they will listen to you. Talk to you about your options.
There are so many kinds of depression. Post pardon depression, Before and after pregnancy and if you lose a loved one. There is so many ways that we become depressed that we need to look at each as case as it own and not put everyone into a a categories with everyone else. The more I write about this the more I sound confused. But I am not... So I am going to end this. Thanks

My writing could use a lot of improvement but i am learning that if I take my time and re read what I have written. I do, so much better. Sometimes I have to get away from my work and come back. That really helps me a lot. Esp when you have kids. Getting there dinner done and then go back to your paper when you havens been working on it really helps. Organizations is what I really have trouble with. Organizing my thought can be very hard, i was trying to come up with a lot of ideas for my work for PTSD. I was writing and I couldn't find a direction that was interesting to me to head in. So I tried another turn into what most people have these days. If your sad and don't know why your depressed. If you have mood swings your depressed. I began to wonder if they just tell you that your depressed and give you meds because one they get paid for everyone how is on medications and two just to get you out of there hair. I have wondered this often.

Week 4 Blog

While writing papers we need to be very careful in what we repeat or cite in the paper. When we take something from another person article we have to make sure that we give them credit. Make sure that we rewrite the citation in are own words.
Not realizing this. I copied and pasted an article and then in my own words I re wrote the article and well she told me I needed to re write the entire article or give the person credit. Well not knowing the person I could not give them credit. So starting from stretch I re did my paper. I learned a hard lesson. Writing anything from the internet you must also give credit to them because its only fair. They did write it and you should give them credit.
I hope I did this write.
