What a week I have ahead of me in school....

Hello everyone,

So I'm sure a lot of you are feeling the same way I feel which is overwhelmed this week due to it being "mid-term week". I am currently taking 3 classes this term which are Pharmacology(honors), A&P2(Honors), and of course this class College comp 2, In all 3 of my classes this week I have papers that are due, I have discussions, I have exams, and assignments that's all due by the end of this week. I want to keep my grades in the A range so I need to do my very best and it is becoming very stressful. Besides school I still have family that I need to attend to as well and it just seems there is never enough time to get it all done. I am trying not to be stressed and trying to break it all up through out the week but I still have that fear that something is going to go wrong. In my last terms here at Kaplan University I was only taking 2 classes per term but decided this term was going to be different and took on one more class as well as joining the honors program. I love a challenge and this is definitely going to be a challenge to try to get all my work done on time, take care of my family life, and make sure I do it all correctly.
Well until next time,

How school is influencing my life up to this point...

Hello Again everyone,

Today I'm going to be talking about how school has influenced my life up to this point.
Well I NEVER thought I would have the opportunity to go back to school until last year when my sister in law was telling me about her enrolling in an on line school and gave me all the details about it.
I am a stay at home mom and when my son started school I felt useless, I tried to get jobs but nothing would have worked with my son's school schedule and the hours they wanted me to work or you needed a degree to get into the job. I was always depressed and didn't feel like anything mattered. When my son came home from school I would act as if everything was fine when really it wasn't. I saw a big change in the way my son was looking at school and I wanted to change that. When I started on line classes with Kaplan University I had something to do, I had something to look forward to and I know my son saw a difference in me as well. He would get up for school in the morning and tell me "okay mom don't be late for school" and when he came home he wanted to sit next to me on his computer and act as if he was doing his work also. Going to school gave me something to look forward to everyday because I know its one day closer to getting my degree and getting into a job that I know I will love as well as help my son have a better life. This term I enrolled into the honers program and couldn't be happier. With me going to school it has showed my son that even grownups have to go to school and to never give up on something.
Well until next time, take care...

Introduction

Hello again,

So I guess I should have done this first but I am going to introduce myself to you all... My name is Gevanine but I prefer to be called Nina. I have been called Nina my entire life because it is just so much easier to say. I come from a large family which consist of my mother and father then I have 3 brothers and 2 sisters, I am the oldest girl and I have 1 older brother, the rest of course are all younger then I am.
I am 25 years old and am not married but I have been with the same man for the last 9years and we have a 7 year old little boy together. I moved to Florid from Las Vegas when I was 9 years old and have been here since. My family (parents, Brothers, Sisters)all moved to Arizona when I was 18 for my fathers and brothers jobs. I fly RC airplanes here and there, growing up their was no getting away from them lol, my father is really big into them and so is my brothers now. My brothers all fly professionally and have even made it into RC magazine's, news papers, news, etc. You can google my brother Michael Busutil and you will find a lot on him as well as my other brothers and father also. I am very proud of what they have all achieved over the years.
I enrolled into Kaplan University so that I can obtain my degree in Medical assisting. Being in the medical field is something that I have dreamed of for a very long time now and am proud of myself for taking the step in the right direction. I want to show my son to never give up on his dreams and if you just try anything is possible. I also want him to appreciate school and see that even grownups have to go to school if they want a good job lol. After getting my degree I plan to go into the pediatrics field. I have a son of my own and I am the aunt to 3 wonderful nephews and 1 adorable niece. I have always loved children and would love to work with them.
Well their is my story, hope you all enjoyed it and stay tuned as their will be more coming up.
Take care,
Nina :o)

Returning home

Hello everyone and welcome to my first blog,
My name is Gevanine but I prefer to be called Nina, it's just much easier to say for most people. I just arrived back to Florida from my vacation to Arizona for my little sister's wedding. Upon arriving home I came to realize that my internet connection was cut yet again because the internet company decided to lay my internet cord across the ground instead of hanging it so people driving down my road cut the line. I called and had a few words for them (the phone company) and decided to just do away with the phone company all together and get internet through Dish network. They came out this morning and set me all up, so far so good. I live in the country so I have very few choices of who I can go through.
Well that is all I have to say so far but stay posted as I will have plenty more to write about, I hope this was okay for my first blog post :o)
Take care,
Nina
