Genetically Modified Foods?!!

My research paper is on genetically modified foods, I decided to focus more of the chemistry and/or DNA compared to non GM foods. Of course, explain the negative and positive affects this causes to body’s function. I am still contemplating on whether to incorporate the views of different companies about these foods, since this is a research paper. I open to any suggestions; hopefully, I will have this figured before the end of the week.


In the past six weeks by mother become ill and had to stay in the hospital for awhile. She is my heart; my school definitely was put on the back burner. I am glad to say she is doing much better thanks to the excellent medical staff. Much talk to her about my research brought her interest in understanding GM foods. GM food is current topic that affects any individual that consumes foods, some unknowingly. I hope to awaken readers mind with the interesting information found. Maybe, somebody will be inspired to do research on their own about GM foods.

The Beautiful World of Writing

To write any type of paper in an allotted time frame seems to take me longer to develop and/or complete ideas. I try to let the writing process be nice, slow and not rushed. Rushed writing doesn’t bring out my better writing skills. I love visuals, usually any information I jot down has to be bulleted, in a bubble or highlighted. From trial and error, I realized that writing better requires me to talk out loud to myself and then write the sentence. I guess this is a useful way for me to process the information.

My academic challenges are going to arise in any type of problem that is math related. Math has been my number one struggle for many years. I enjoy Kaplan’s approach to teaching mathematics better previous college I had attended. School has opened my eyes to my lack of time management. I hope to better at time management before the end of this term.

Uh Oh Plagiarism

Plagiarism is a serious offense which may lead to academic probation or being expelled from an university or college. These consequences apply whether the act of plagiarism was intentional or accidental. There is one rule that will eliminate any type plagiarism, give credit to the authors.

I had a personal experience where an associate stole my idea for a project. I was not aware of the situation and turned my idea in before I did. Words could not describe the feeling that overcame by body.

Professionally, if plagiarism occurs I think the author of the material should turn the colleague to a supervisor. This is in a perfect world, but in reality sometimes the actual author doesn't receive credit for their work. YES, the Internet does blur "legally owned" lines from websites. I have visited websites where this information doesn't appear on the actual the company's page. SAY NO TO PLAGIARISM!

New Approach to Learning

Embarking on this endeavor to pursue a degree online was questionable in the beginning. To be surrounded by the comforts of my home while trying to further my education almost seemed impossible.

Being an online student for more than 5 months has completely changed my outlook about online education. I love the freedom to learn any and everywhere I choose, as long as I have an internet connection. I benefit from the learning style of Kaplan University, better than previous colleges.

The weekly discussion boards challenges my ability to research information and utilize my available resources. Furthermore, my verbal and written communication has improved as well. Group projects are a great way to communicate with classmates and new friendships may blossom. Online education suites me, I am glad to continually learn about the Health Information Technology field!!

Head in the Clouds...

First impressions are made every second an individual interacts with another person; oftentimes these impressions may be misleading. Perception is based on opinion and facts; it may be swayed according to one’s outward appearance or the ability to communicate effectively. For those who don’t know me say “you must have grown up with a silver spoon.” I guess one could consider this a compliment but I am just an over thinker.


I grew up in the south from a Christian home with two wonderful parents whom I love to death. I know this upbringing has kept me grounded and I am forever grateful to be surrounded this type of environment. I am young lady and my mother seems to have more energy than me. Struggles and hurdles have and will occur but with faith I believe I can conquer any challenge.
