Post 28- Self Evaluation
As I sit here at school reflecting on life and my year, with J. Cole blasting in my ears, I begin to think, 'damn where has the time gone?' Almost another year has passed us by with 16 days left till the new year. 2014 has been a rollercoaster ride for me to say the least. Through the seperation of friends and relations, even family members. Through the laughter, tears, sorrow, pain, and joy. I ask that in 2015, I continue to live, with God by my side find my purpose, and imp...rove as a better individual so I can live happy and free. Free from pain, from from scares. Free to love, to each is own. Cleanse my mind and learn to fly. I will soon look behind me and say "look how far youve came?" They say that dreams come true and when they do its a beautiful thing. As I close this chapter in my life, my blessings that Ive been yerning for are slowly approaching.

Post 27- DIFFERENT IS GOOD
Hey I'm back again to talk more about my awesome English class this quarter at South University. The teaching technique was a lot different than the standard reading chapter and writing papers. A writing arguements course based around 21st century technology, all the assignments were on the class wiki. the class wiki was a site just for students made by the Professor.
Having the accessibility to view your classmates blogs, complete discussions, and do the short and to.the point workshop assessments for the week was all neat features included, and I thought that was an ingenius idea.

Post 26- Google +
How convenient is it that Google is mobile 24/7. Before starting this Writing course with Professor Hamon, my only purpose for google was its search engine. Besides that, I used Yahoo as my mail recipent. Google + is pretty neat to say the least. You can create documents, post blogs, check your email, and even search the web. Now I'm not sure if any other search engine has that broad of features, but to know that i have access to many cool gadgets at the touch of my fingertips is mind blowing. Technology has really improved!

Post 25- Wiki in Class
This quarter I had the Opportunity to experience a whole different teaching style in my English course. My Professor uses this site called Wiki for all his classes where discussions, workshops, and interaction with other students are taken place. Its different and unique because, it allows the student to expand their knowledge by using internet sources such as Google and/or Google plus, which I will write a seperate post about.

Post 20- Professor's Kindness
At Palm Beach State, it was mandatory that I looked on Rate My Professor to make sure that the Professors that I chose for that quarter wasn't too harsh or just bad teachers overall. At South University, honestly for some reason I didn't feel the urge to have to double check. I just went along with my instance. Having Profeesor Hamon as a English Professor, change alot of my perceptions with writing. Dr. Hamon is simply a wonderful character inside and out. He shows a sincere passion for all his students, with his open door and email at any time policy. Fast as ever with his feedback and responses as well. Saying "if all my professors was like my english professor, I would be happy", is an understatement. I wish Professor was just mastered in ALL my Prerequistes needed for my Program Career. LIFE WOULD BE GOOD!

PErsonal situations are interferring with my educstion at the moment but all I can do is try my best to remain focused and keep my eye on the prize. With that being said i would like to wish all my colleagues the best of luck with their finals and remaining class sessions.
