Being an online student

Good Morning,
Being an online student has given me the ability to be at home and doing my studines on my time. Sometimes I find it challenging when you do not have an instrutor sitting in front of you explaining something to you step by step but there are resources to help you. You can still develop relationships with your peers because of the discussion boards and emails. I have set up a time management schedule to do my homework which works for my responsibilites at home. I set my alarm to get up at 6am and work until 7:30 before I need to get my Mom up for medication. I am the primary caregiver for my Mom and there are times that she requires a lot of care. Having the ability to be able to do my reading and homework assignments when it is convenient for me has helped me pursue a change in my career. I was in the mortgage business for 10 plus years and when I lost my job in November of 2008 I decided I needed to change my career. I researched online classes and decided that the medical office professional was a field that would have a lot of security. Kaplan has offered that and I am enjoying being a student. I have been out of High School since 1970 and love the idea of sitting in my home and learning. What a concept! My goal after I recieve my Associate's Degree would be to get a job working from home doing medical billing and decoding. That way I can work from home, earn an income and still take care of my Mom.
Have a great day!

Okay The move is over and the unpacking starts! I am looking forward to relaxing for a while.

Another Day of Packing, can't wait until this is done! Have been researching topics to do for the final paper and I am tossing around the childhood immunizations and their controversies. My daughter does not immunize my youngest grandaughter and it makes me nervous. I am not sure if I am from the old school or what. So this might be the perfect topic to investigate. My other choice is probably going to be the effects of Alzheimer's.
Have a great day!

Today has been a pretty busy day! I am trying to pack for a move this weekend. I have been chasing for paint for the new home, running for stuff at wal-mart, taking my Mom to Organ lessons and getting ready for seminar tonight. I will be glad to have my head hit the pillow tonight!
Have a great night!
