As we enter week 9, which means that there is only one more week left. I have many feelings.
I am nervous, do feel accomplished and I am tired. I am nervous because you put your work up for all to view you do feel nervous about their reaction. You are worried did you do a good job, have captured what you set out to do. How will your audience and Professor review your work?
I feel accomplished because this is what these last 9 weeks have been about. Bringing the final paper to light. I know I have worked hard and done a great deal of research on this topic and I am glad that it is time to get the feedback that we have building for each week.
I also feel tired because after 9 weeks and many hours of research and changes I am just tired of changing things not knowing whether the changes are for the good or bad.
As I close this term out though I have learned a great deal of tools that will further carry me through the online learning process. I came in not knowing what a research paper was or how to begin one and I walk away with a research paper on a topic that does not get much attention. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is not a topic that gets a lot of attention due to the fact that it means that a mother has been abusing alcohol while pregnant. Although it goes way beyond her poor choice and takes a look at how children born with this disease will have very challenging lives and how communities are turning their back on them thinking its not there problem that their parent chose to drink while pregnant. In reality I have learned that it does affect the community also. It affects them in areas of schools, health care cost, jails, and a host of other problems that they have to deal with. Who is speaking up for these babies that were given a raw deal from the point of conception?
Thank you all for these last nine weeks and I did think this was going to be corny but I have come to enjoy this blog thin. Till next week which is the final week stay blessed and have a great week.
