I love being an online student because it gives me the freedom to plan my day the way that I want to and not worry as much about anything other than I have to. I love to study and learn about any thing that has to due with science. So, learning about the human body and the conditions of that body are so interesting to me and I hope that every body continues to learn more about the way that Jehovah God made us. I also love to read my Bible. Even with a lot of different kinds of disease out in this cruel world, there are a lot of different thing to be thankful. Some of those thing are your life, the food that you eat every day, the clothes that you are able to wear, the house that you live in, and the activities that you do everyday or your life. Yes, this is just a few of the blessing that Jehovah God gives to you and me every single day. I love to say that every day that I wake up is a very good day. As you can tell I am very optimistic. I all ways think of the glass as half full and not as half empty. I thin k that people that think about the glass as half empty are not enjoying their life as they choose it to be. I all ways say that if you can open your eyes to what is going on in the world then you should be very thankful for that gift because you did not get that gift with out some one giving it to you. I also think that the more that you pay attention to your surroundings then the easier it will be for you to avoid falling in to a trap that belongs to Satan the Devil. I think that the best way to end this posting to my blog would be to end with a Bible verse. Don't you. You can find that Bible verse at Psalms 9:1,2 which says = "I will laud [you] O Jehovah, with all my heart; I will declare all your wonderful works. I will rejoice and exalt in you, I will make melody to your name, O most High."

Unit four (4) Plagiarism
This first question that was posted to this unit said = Based upon your reading on plagiarism, why do you think we need to cite our sources?
I think that if you do not cite your sources, it is no different than stealing. Everyone knows that stealing is wrong so is plagiarism wrong. When you think about stealing what do you think about? i think about someone going in to a store and taking something with out paying for it. Well, plagiarism is the same thing. When you use someone else information as your own you are taking something that does not belong to you. In this case the thing that you are stealing is some one else information or idea and you are not giving them the credit for it.
Second question = What would you do if some one used some thing you created with out giving you the credit?
I have never had that happen to me so I am not sure as to what I would do but I think that I might be a little bit angry because they are taking the credit for some thin that they did not create and I think that I might feel that I was not important and very hurt to know that some body would do that to me.
Third question = Consider some of the real - world plagiarism issues you have learned of that include professionals. How should those issues be handled?
I really do not know of any but if I did I think that they should be handled one (1) in a calm, and respectful way. Like they should not start yelling at them in front of every one else. They should take them a side and talk to them about it. Yes, they are going to get mad but they do not have to yell in front of every one else all they have to do is talk to them calmly and let them keep their diginity.
Fourth question = Does the internet blur the lines of "legally owned"? Consider sites like you tube and wikipedia.
I personally never visit these sites but I think that some of the other sites that I do visit have defenitally blurred the lines of "legally owned". I hope that some day this will be a thing of the passed so that every one will be honest about every thing that they use.
Great blogging question this week. Look forward to the rest of the blog questions that there are to post to. See you next week.

online student/what I would like to be
In this blog I will discuss how I feel about being an online student.
I love the flexibility of being an online student because my life is so busy that I do not have the time to sit in a classroom for eight hours an study but what I do have is the freedom to study at any time that I choose to and only have class when I choose to have my classes/courses and I hope that more schools/colleges start to take this and run with it because this is the best thing that Kaplan has ever done in the way of reaching everyone in the world to finish their careers. I plan to try to finish this career and then start to take classes/course to be come a medical examiner. I think that I would be able to do both careers in this world even though my life is very busy. When I think about a a career that I would enjoy doing everyday of my life I think that being a medical examiner would be fun to do for two (2) reasons. The first (1) reason would be because I love to put puzzles together. When I think about being a medical examiner i thin k about putting the pieces of somebodies life back together and to me this is like putting a puzzle together. The second (2) reason that I think that being a medical examiner would be fun to do is because I like to do something different everyday. When I think about being a medical examiner I certainly do not think about doing the same thing everyday because with this kind of career you just never know what you are going to get on the tables that you are going to have to figure out what the person died from. For example: you could get a little child or maybe an elder person or even a person that has died from a car crash. You just do not know so you have to figure out what this person died from. I also think that I might like to be a medical examiner for animals and not just people. I know that this career does not sound appealing to everyone but for me this sounds fun to do. I do not know if there are medical examiners for animals but I think that it would be very interesting to find out and do something along those lines. Please keep tuning in to see what comes next in this blog. If you have comments that can help me make this blog better please let me know. I will not get mad at anything that you might say. Please let me know what you liked about this blog and what you did not like about this blog. I would love your help with this blog. See you next time.

more about my life
I told everybody that I would post more about my life so here it is.
my grandmother but also my mother who through no fault of her own not not work any more3 due to an accident at work where a box of water and bleach fell off of the unloading truck and knocked her elbow out of place. When this happened the muscles and nerves wrapped around the joint of her elbow before it popped back in to place. Because of this reason she is not aloud to work any more and can not use her arms and hands. So I have to do everything for her like dress her, feed her, bath her ect......
It is a lot of work but I enjoy doing it because I think about the time that I might need help and hope that somebody is there to help me the way that I help her.
On top of all of that I have fourteen (14) cats to take care of. There names are (from oldest to youngest) Sassy at 14 (7/25/95), Tyger at 13 (6/12/96), Sammie at 11 (3/25/98), Angelle at 10 (3/1/99), Gismoe at 10 (7/1/99), Sneakers at 7 (5/11/02), Butterstoch at 7 (3/14/02), Ghoste at 7 (3/14/02), Golden at 11 months (2/2/09), Delwa at 10 months 3/3/09), Thumper at 10 months (3/3/09), Mussin at 9 months (4/4/09), Bear cub at 4 months (8/3/09), and Miss Priss at 2 months (10/17/09). I included the birth date so that you can follow the ages of them.
In my spare time, wait a minute how am I kidding I do not have any spare time, but if I did I would love to take a long walk through the woods just to see Jehovah's (GOD) wonderful creations. So now you now more about my life and what a day in my life is like. I hope that you enjoy reading this blog and I just want to let you know that this is my very first time blogging and I hope that I am doing this correctly. I will post more on this blog late so please stay tuned to this blog to find out what else happens in my life. Happy reading. Please feel free to follow this blog.
