Well I must say that I was quite overwhelmed by the fact that someone actually was inspired by what I wrote to the point where they actually used it to motivate someone else, did I mind, not at all, I was ecstatic and I really hope that it made here consider coming to school. Well so far none of these deadheads in my family seem even the least bit impressed, I was so sure that my doing this would at least get somebody asking questions or least become curious, not so far, nobody even inquires as to how I am doing or anything, well I am determine to show them all that this can and will be done, and if these dunderheads do not get on the ball and try to get something going education wise that's their loss. I on the other hand will strive forward, I have very young children (my little girl Jesiah, my grandchildren and the little kids in the neighborhood) to set a good example for so I will not only do it for myself, I will do it for them, maybe that's why god put me here to inspire young minds to want to continue receiving a good education, I know some time I sound like I am up on a soap box expounding the value of a good sound schooling, but it us just that important to me. I should have done this long ago, and been the administrator, not the peon, but I figured better late than never, I can still accomplish my goal, my dream of working for and taking care of myself, I don't feel like in these days and times 60 is a very old person, so I can do work like Medical Transcriptionist until I'm 80. (LOL) Well I know if I live to be 80 and I can see and use my hands I will still be working, I know this because When I grow up I am going to be just like Ms. Elizabeth Read, and of course you want to know who is Ms. Elizabeth Read, well she is my role model, Ms. Read is an attorney, she works with people who are trying to get social security disability benefits. Ms. Read (this is an educated guess) I would say has to be about very late eighties, early nineties and still going strong, I met Ms. Read about 20 years ago, when she took my late husbands case he'd had a stroke, social security said he could do his work and denied his claim, we hired this lawyer (recommended by SS) to take his case to the administrative judge this is the last step before complete denial, she won the case in 15 minutes before the judge, I applied for disability in may was denied and went to the last step, remembered how she helped him some 20 yrs before and sure enough, she was still there going Strong only now her daughter works with her, and she became my lawyer. I was told that it might be up to three years before I would go before the judge, they won my Case in three months, I never even saw the judge, apparently like mother, like daughter. Well that amazed me, but nearly as much as seeing Ms, Read still hanging in there looking so much the same as when I first met her 20 years before and she remembered me and my husband and I know this because she described him to me. So that how she became my role model. Well I have chewed your ears off enough for now, so I'll save some for later.

Well I guess I am really in there I feel so good being able to keep up with my classmates I am going to be come a follower to everyone, and I hope that all will follow me so we can really get to know each other. This is my third term at kaplan, I really wanted for what seems like all of my life to go to school and get a degree, but I could always find a reason to postpone it. Well I was finally widowed, children were grown and I also found myself retired. I said to myself, self it is time for you to do it so I went on line and I filled out surveys and questionairs which asked if I was interested in going to school on line, I said yes and the rest as they say (who is they) is history, now every time I see the commercial for Kaplan, I'm jumping up and down and raising my fist and shouting I am a Kaplan. I very proud and happy to be finally achieving something I have dreamed of for so long. When I march down that aisle or across that stage it will be quite an accomplishment for me, my next dream is to inspire someone else to do the same, preferably someone in my family, but really anyone else, this thirst for knowledge is never quenched within me and I want everyone to know the rush of learning something that they did not already know that will help them to further themselves through life, who ever reads this just know that the addiction from learning is a rush I never want to be without.

Hello Professor and class, I think I'm in finally I can blog. It seems like a miracle I just went to my sight from of all places the doc sharing area, I realized I had not been reading the unit resources and I looked at unit 4's and saw how they could help me to understand what I needed to do better, I then copied all of the resources, then I notice the one that said set up your blog, and I clicked on that one and it took me to blogger to my already set up websight and I was able to complete my profile, when I finished I went to my dashboard and clicked new post and it took me to the posting section and I really think its working, LOL ,LOL ,LOL, I Aam so happy please let this be it, or I will have to cry.

Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.
