Welcome Readers

Welcome readers,
My name is Betty and I am about to finish up a class of English 098 at Everett Community College. I moved from Atlanta GA, about a year and a half ago because of my husband job promotion. Before my arrival here in WA, I had just finished a medical asst program and received my Diploma as a medical asst. Although this change was every unexpected for me, I tried to adapt to the big change. This was nothing close to looking like Georgia. The rainy, cloudy, and foggy days were all a new global change to me. The view of mountains and snow fallen was like having a white Christmas for the first time. I planned to search for a job quickly so that could keep me busy from becoming depressed. After searching for jobsites, scheduling interviews, and filling out applications my hard work had soon come to an end. I was offered a couple of jobs as a Medical Asst and had to make a decision that would soon change my life for the best. Than after thinking of the choice that i had to make, I decided to work for a family practice clinic in Marysville WA.

After a year dedicating most my time to sick patients, I decide to follow my career as a RN. Now with that said, I am determined to finish what I’ve already started. Even if it means dealing with the messed up whether, I am devoted to accomplish it. However, after becoming a student of Shen p I knew I would soon run into to some difficulty times. The last time I had written an essay was about 4 years ago. Just thinking about punctuation placements was driving me crazy. I haven’t sat in a class room in a very long time. I was a bit shy the first day of class, but than try to make an effort to talk to other classmates. After receiving my homework or any other assignments I was heading down hills. So I was more determined than ever to receive a better grade. Although I struggle through the grammar, commas, and my word choice “you”, the best is that I have improved my skills at English.

However this has helped my ability to understand, discuss, and develop my writing skills. It has Also change the ability to reword my sentences structure. Threw out the class we were told to read two books, which were Three Cups of Tea and the Absolute True Diary of a Part – Time Indian. Although, I struggle a bit to cope and understand the words that were in the first book Three Cups Of Tea it was an amazing book. I had to look up many words to understand what the Author was talking about. Some words were really difficult to understand until my dictionary came in handy. After starting the second book of The Absolutely True Diary of a Part- Time Indian I learn to love what junior experience throughout his life and how he was influenced threw him. I really loved this book. It was more my kind of level and I finished the book within a few hours.

Even though I had many assignments throughout the week and balancing my job as well, I decide to volunteer at Grandview in Everett WA. Throughout my service learning, I seek to help a child in need of math, reading, and doing crafts. Once it was clear to me, I was in a war zone together with poverty. Many kids ran up and down to seek a pencil so they could finish their homework with us volunteers. Although some kids were not familiar with the change some tried to respect it. To many kids it was donut shop, but to others it was a place for learning, getting help, and having some fun. My own personal experience at the service learning bad or good were helping me to write them down on paper. When we were told to write a paragraph about poverty, it was clear to me that my service learning help me out in that situation. My service learning has helped me to make a little more time for children in these crises in need of help.

After all the hard work I have gain with this class, I have decided to pick four pieces for you to look at. While reviewing, you will see good grammar, commas and corrections of punctuation placements. These four pieces will show many things that have taught me to be a better writer. All that will include the ability to write effectively and be able to do critical thinking, and analysis. I hope you enjoy reading my pieces that i have in store for you. Although it was hard for be at first, I enjoyed being in this class. I admit the teacher was a bit hard on me, but it was only for my own good. This class has taught me many skills to go forward in my career and i hope you enjoy reading the piece I have for you so take a chill pill and relax.
