Hi everyone,
This is a sad post. Class is over and we move on to the next term. I will miss you all and especially you Professor. I thank you for your time and patients.
I feel I have become a better writer because of you and your class. I am sad to move on, but excited to see what comes next. I will take what I have learned with me and when I do another paper I will be prepared for it.
I wish everyone the best in whatever they do in the future. Take care for now and hopefully we see each other again.

Hi everyone
I can not believe that class is already over. It went by too fast.
I do know the final project gave me a bit a trouble. I really had to think about everything I was doing with this paper. I had forgotten about all the techniques to use when writing a paper for school and hard it can be. I glad that i took this course and gotten a refresher on what works and what does not work. I thank you Dr Manning for your patience and dedication to us. I had a great time in your seminars and learned alot. I wish everyone the best on their future clases and endeavors

Unit 8 post.
Hi everyone. I hope everyone is doing great. In seminar this week I found it to very educational or even refreshing my mind to the little things that I know we all have forgotten by now. Knowing when to use a prepositions and the "to be's" in sentences.
As everyone who reads my blogs can tell that I tend to use these in abundance when I write. I hope I have improved in my writin style, at least a little.
I have enjoyed this class, and thank you Dr M for all your help and guidence. To my fellow classmates Thank you for your help, advise and friendship. I will miss you but I hope to some of you in my others classes. To the other classmates who are graduating soon, I wish you all the best in the future.

Hi Everyone
I had forgotten to do my blog for unit 7, so I doing so now.
The holidays were good here, except for being sick, but I muddled through. This was the first year My husband was off shore and not with me. We will be celebrating our Christmas on January 16....yeah. I am anxiously awaiting my Christmas present.
I can tell you all that I am very nervous about my paper. I keep doing more research and reading everything I can about Hypertension. Maybe I am just confusing myself by doing this. Well I will see when I submit my final version and submit it.

Hi everyone
I have sent my first draft to my group and waiting for an answer. I also posted it to the discussion board for anyone who wants to can also comment on it.
I had revised it a little since then and was not sure if I should resubmit it. I know everyone is busy during this holiday season. Hopefully after it is over everything will go back to normal ( whatever normal is..lol).
I had a great christmas, I got to spend time with one of my grandchildren. My granddaughter was here with me and she loved her little kitchen and shopping cart. though I do believe she loved the shopping cart the best, she pushed it everywhere she went in the house, as soon as I can i will be updating her picture on my blog.
See you all in seminar next year. Have a safe and wonderful New Year's Eve.

College Compisition II

Hi everyone
It has been a crazy week for me. trying to everything ready for Christmas and work. i almos forgot the blood drive at work was on Tuesday and it is my job to make sure everything goes off without a hitch. (talk about stress) I am going to put just a touch of my first draft here and hopefully you guys can give me some feedback. I love to write and I seem to be having a hard time with this paper and I am lost as to why. Here it is:

Hypertension is known as the silent killer and the reason would be, because most people do not know they have this disease. Hypertension unchecked can affect the heart, kidneys, and even the brain. Most of the people who have hypertension are not aware of this until it is too late. The unaware need to be educated on the effects of hypertension and what it can do to the body. Some effects can be short term, others long term and still others can be fatal. According to Rech, of the one third of Americans only about two-thirds are aware of their hypertension. (2008)
Hypertension can affect the arteries. Healthly arteries are flexible and strong, elastic. (Mayoclinic) High blood pressure can damage the inner lining of the artery causing what we know as an aneurysm. This is when the pressure on the artery can rupture and cause internal bleeding which is life threatening.
The arteries are not the only thing affected by hypertension. The heart, kidneys, eyes and your brain can also be affected. It will cause your heart to over work to keep blood pumping to your other organs and increase the risk of a heart attack.

My writing style

Hi Everyone,
My writing style I would have to say is freewriting. This is the only one I ever used. I always just start writing my paper and then just keep fine tuning as I go. I know in seminar when I was trying to enter the Thesis statement and four points, I kept hitting enter forgetting that i just needed to keep typing. I thought, ok just enter it on your blog page and that might help.
Thesis statement:
Hypertension is a silent killer. Education on prevention and control is sorely needed for everyone.

1. The effects of hypertension can be devastating, it can include mini-strokes, brain damage and even paralysis.

2. Education should start at the physician level, if they are showing even the slightest sign of hypertension.

3. Control of this disease can start with proper diet and regular exercise.

4. Stress is another factor in hypertension. Everyone always in a rush and not taking time for themselves and just relaxing.
