Week 3

Ok, I'm feeling the pressure for some reason. My major is IT-Networking and i still have no idea what i want to do for a career. I'm having the hardest time remembering and understanding computers and i feel like i slow classes down because i ask so many questions. Dont get me wrong, I really dont care if people dislike that, i'm going to have to pay a loan back...ya better believe i'm gonna get my money's worth. I'm starting to doubt myself, wondering if i chose the right career path. I'm not gonna give up and if i have to get a tutor for every class, then so be it. I dont want to be good at my job, i want to be great at it.....ok i'm done venting...deep breath... in with the good...deep breath out....out with the bad. Tomorrow is a new beginning.  :-D

PHIL 250-904

Hi, this is Lisa Martinez, and I'm going to tell you a little bit about myself. I'm 37 yrs old. I have 2 sons, ages 19 yrs old & 13 yrs old. My 19 yr old son is currently in Iraq & I'm having a hard time dealing with his absence. My 13 yr old son is an 8th grader & has a very outgoing personality.
              I make myself a variety of different goals, daily, weekly, monthly and so on and so forth. I try to prepare as best as possible for my future. I am going to be moving to Michigan at the end of the semester and this is a new experience for me. It's very scary, not to mention I have to move over to online classes. I have been with my boyfriend for 3 years and we plan to marry soon after I graduate. I have suffered from depression most of my life and with cognitive therapy I am able to keep myself positive, which is a daily goal and sometimes a struggle.
              My major is IT Networking, I have always had a interest in computers and the latest technologies, I also know very little of them and thought this would be a great way to challenge my patience and myself. Before school I worked in an auto manufacturing plant for 12 yrs. I decided to change my career because I was unhappy there and felt I had so much to offer. To myself as well as others. I look forward to growing my critical skills, because i realize this will help my future.
