Online Student-Unit 3

Being and online student has given me the freedom to continue to work and support my family.   I have found this environment also works out better for me because I am an older student.  I have tried the traditional class room setting and noticed that for me it didn't work out.  Kaplan offers the flexibility needed for working parents who need to continue working while continuing on with there lives.  I have been here for 4 terms now and loving every minute.

Week Two

Well I guess I'll figure out this class time by the end of it.  I keep forgetting that class in now Thursdays not Wednesdays and I don't have to rush home anymore.  It's also an hour later than I'm used to.  At least now I have a little more time with the family and extra time to do some reading.  I think this blogging may work out well.

The Rural Me

I am a transplant to Wisconsin now here just about 16 years.  I am originally from the East Coast and I must admit I don't miss it much except for the family I have left behind.  I have three daughter from my first marriage 21,18 and 17 and three from my second but honestly there ages escape me and they would probably get upset if I posted them.   I moved here with my first husband and we separated after 6 months of being here.  I worked in computers for 10 years and hold and Associates Degree in Computer Science but found I wasn't enjoying my career.  I had always been involved in heath care in some form or another and found the pull of EMS overwhelming and made the jump.  Now here I sit 6 years later planning for the day when I can no longer work on the ambulance and wish to work in facility for the patient.

I've rambled enough for now
