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.
