..Being An Online Student..

Hello Everyone! I hope you are all having a great week so far. This week I decided to write about the topic "being an online student". First of all I think that just having the opportunity to take online classes is amazing. When I first thought about doing so , I was a little nervous on what it would be like. After my first online class, I realized that it was pretty neat how the whole process works. I like talking online classes because I can fit it into my schedule very easily, which is better for me in my life right now. When I first graduated high school in May 2009, I knew I wanted to go to college. Even though I have cancer, I was determined to get my education so I applied for online school. Doing school online gives me the chance to get my education while I am in the hospital. Overall I think it is pretty cool and I enjoy it very much!!

Is it ever going to be over??

I just finished my discussion post for this class. I am excited and a little scared at the same time to start writing this paper. I think it will be challenging but, I have chose some topics that I am very familiar with to make it more fun. I think I can also learn a lot from writing this paper.

I will tell you a little about myself if you hadn't already read my "about me" section. I am nineteen years old and I live in Kansas City, MO. Unfortunately the only reason I am taking online classes is because I have Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I actually enjoy online classes though! Here lately the chemo therapy has worn me out completely and it is getting harder and harder to do anything at all. It seems like I have been fighting this disease very patiently but it will never end. I got diagnosed in October of 2008 and I am still fighting it. Here soon I am going to be doing a stem cell transplant that will hopefully cure it for good! When I am not in the hospital, I like to hang out with my friends and spend a lot of time with my family. I absolutely love being outside in the summertime. I am not much of a winter person at all. Other things I enjoy doing are watching movies, listening to music, shopping, and just having a good time!! I look forward to getting to know everyone in this class and reading every ones blogs!
