Hello and Happy Halloween, I have been stressed out in the last six weeks. My Mother and my Sister (my best friend) live so far away that I don't get to see them very often. My Mother is 84 with health issues, so I think about her all the time and if the phone rings, you know what I am expecting. I just spent a week there at my Mother's house and it was not long enough. I really don't care to fly especially by myself. So all that was stressful for me.
Then there is this disease that my 3 year old grandson may have. So far he only has the skin abnormalities (he had an echocardiogram for a heart murmer) and he has an appointment in November to check his retinas. The echocardiogram and the eye check-up are both diagnostic tools to rule out the disease. I hate how you have to wait forever to first, get the appointment with a specialist and then wait longer for the answers. This all started with his pediatrician back in the summer. That is why I wanted to research Tuberous Sclerosis Complex.
I am so worried about my baby!
Then there is my finances, I won't go into detail, but I need to finish my degree and get to work.
My water heater is not working correctly and I need brakes on my car. I know, I know, this is just life.
I also have issues of my own, I have a disability that does not show (I'm not going to reveal what). Stress and anxiety are not my friends. I am trying to keep positive, I believe that whatever you need and ask God to help you, that he does. Let go and let God!! Janice

School influence in my life
Hi all, I'm home from Arizona, to gray skies of Michigan. It's fall and the leaves are turning and dieing as always. But I'm glad to be home.
Being in classes at Kaplan is opening up a new world for me. I haven't been working for awhile, just volunteering for hospice, the animal shelter, and of course the grandkids. I was surfing the internet last year and came across Kaplan and decided to investigate. So here I am working on my medical assistant associates degree. I have always loved medicine and have nursed many family members.
I feel like my brain has come alive and now there are many possibilities. I have always wanted to work with premature babies. When I am finished with the associates degree, I will see if that is possible. I'm an older student and I can't waste any time.
My husband died in 2006, since then I am home most of the time. I was bored and lonely. I'm not ready to do nothing all day. That is why I thought about going back to school. And here I am!
Attending classes again has made me feel intelligent and alive. I believe I can do anything I want to. I'm making good grades and learning so much. I am positive now and feel good about myself. I am very glad I looked into classes on line at Kaplan.

plagiarism
Hello everyone, I am in beautiful Arizona this week. My mom and sis live here and there is a family wedding to attend. I'm in a coffee shop to get to the internet. (I live in Michigan, very different weather here in Yuma.) I'm alittle behind on my class work, in both classes. But I will do my best to keep my grade up and do all my asignments. It's about 80 here today and I love the sun and dry heat.
The thing about plagiarism is if you don't cite correctly you could accidently use some other person's work like your own. I would never want anyone to do that to me. In fact, I work very hard when it comes to writting, it doesn't come naturally. So I think I would sue any person who stoled my work or ideas. Citing also gives the reader the place to go, to read more on the subject you are writting about. You must give the correct person the credit for any work or idea you use in order to avoid plagiarism.
To anyone reading this blog; Enjoy every minute of life, count your blessings, do the right thing, may the force be with you, and live long and prosper!!!

feelings
I am feeling so great today, the weather is beautiful here in Michigan and I am getting my home work finished.
I love the on-line classes here at Kaplan. Sunday I attended my youngest grandson's 1st birthday party. I love all of my grandchildren so much, it can't be put into words. I believe family comes first and we get together as often as possible. The leaves are turning and it is starting to feel like fall. I like the four seasons that we have in Michigan.
This blogging is difficult for me, I'm trying to write down my feelings like a journal. I am on top of the world today and hope everyone feels the same.

On-Line classes at Kaplan
Hello friends, I personally love the on-line classes. I don't have to stress with attending classes and being on time. Saving gas money is a really big plus and another one is sitting in comfortable clothes while I am in class.
It is so flexible, I do my homework any time I want to. If I can't sleep I get on line or read. Each semester I get more efficient at scheduling my study time and working around the rest of my life. I am less stressed during exams, I use to lose all the information I had studied because of stress. My brain would go completely blank. There are a couple of things I might change if I were in charge; I want to see my exams after they have been graded to study what I got wrong. But I'm not in charge and my time at Kaplan has been just great.

Think Positive
Sometimes thing pile up on you, that is what this week's schedule looks like. I have part time work, a funeral, a one night class I'm attending, and of course home work for my courses. Stay positive, you can do it, eat right, get your sleep! It's only Monday and what a beautiful day it is!

kitten keeper
The reason I chose kittenkeeper for my blog name is because I love cats. I have 3 of my own and I volunteer at a no-kill animal shelter. I feed and clean cages and hold kittens all I want. It's my therapy for the day, I love to hold the babies. I believe animals are God's creatures just like humans are. Any living thing needs shelter, love, food and water, and kindness.
