Hi Everyone, Hope all is going well with you and that you have all succeeded on your final projects. I am looking forward to another new year and leaving the challenges and tragedies of the last 2 years a little further behind me. I am grateful that I have made it this far and though it has been a struggle with many losses in my family and financial losses in my business, I am blessed that I have the opportunity to go to college and start over. So as the new year embarks upon me I will only continue to look forward, while cherishing the memories of those I lost. I am grateful for the friends I've made online here at school, they have been a blessing and a lot of fun. It was great meeting you Eddie, thanks for making changes to your schedule and stopping in Atlanta to meet me. It was great fun! I will be in Richmond soon I'm sure. Good Luck to all of you on your journey with Kaplan. I hope that you all have a beautiful holiday season and that life treats you with kindness along the way and brings you much peace in all that you do.

Hi Everyone, I hope you are all having great success on your final projects. I am completely exhausted, this has been a challenging term for me for some reason. The work load seemed like more than usual between the two classes. I guess because in my other class I had to do 2 postings and 4 responses in our discussion board as well as 2 quizzes each week. Then we had our projects for this class each week, our discussion board and this blog.The Christmas break will be my gift this year. I'm taking this week 10 to study for my national exam scheduled for the 22nd. Once that is done, it will be relaxation time for me to turn my office area into an art studio and sink into doing some paintings. Final blog to come. I hope life is treating you with kindness.
Be Safe,

Life at Kaplan for this year is coming to an end. It has been a great journey, I have made some friends and learned a lot. I'm looking forward to the new year and working on my majors. Not sure if I will continue posting to this blog. I may set up a personal one so I can keep those old friends in Chicago up to date on my life journey. It has been a very interesting class this term and a lot of challenges along the way, but it was all worth it. I wish all you much success and I hope life treats you with kindness. Be safe!
