What I want people to get from reading my research paper

When I am finished with my paper I want people to understand what Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma is. I want them to understand that live is not over just because you have cancer. There are many clinics that you can go to that will help and give you options for what you can do and how you can enjoy the time you have left on this earth. I also am going to go into great detail about what treatments are available Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma as-well as some cancer centers in the United States that people can go to or look into that can answer questions that they may have. I want to give as much detail as I can about treatment so people don’t think that are stuck with what one doctor may be saying. I am going to give a little back ground about what Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma is and the places that it effect the human body but my main objective is let people know there are other ways to deal with this type of cancer instead of just giving up hope. The question that I will address is What are the treatments of Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma cancer? Is there a possible cure for this type of cancer?

What I found while doing my research...


At first I didn't really like the idea that we had to use the JCC library. I just thought that you could find just as much information online and have enough to write a research. I do still think that way but on the other hand after working with database I realized that it gives you a wider range of information that the internet just doesn't do all that well. I really like that when using the database it doesn't just give you a website to go to it looks at articles, magazines, books, and any other source that can give you valuable information. I think that this a a great was to to gather information. I got allot of my information off the web today but I really happy with the way that the research has been going. I have found tons of reliable resources that I will be using in my research paper.

I changed my topic to do my research paper on...

After taking some time and thinking about what my paper should be about and if people can relater to it I deciced that I am not going to do my research paper on elementary education programs I really want to do it on Non Hodgkin's lymphoma. This is one of the most common kinds of cancer. I myself do not have cancer that I know of but my grandmother and uncle do. My uncle has delt with the pain and suffering that comes with Non Hodgkin's lymphoma for the ten years. The real reson why I chose this as my research paper because I want to inform as many people as possible of what it is and how it will effect you life. There are alot of places that I will be getting my resources from and I hope by the time that I turn un my final draft that I will have informed enough people to have them thereselves or the people that are around you to take this information seriously and go get checked out

research paper blog

The topic that I chose to do my research is elementary education. The reason why I am doing research on this topic is because it is what I want to do for a career. I really like to work with children and there is not a better job in the world to me than to teach young children the skills that the will need to become a great student and a asset to whatever they chose to do in life. I really don’t know that much about what it is going to take to become an elementary teacher but since that is the career of my choice I fell that it a very good idea to get as much information about this topic that I can so I have a complete background on it. The main question that I am going to try to get across in my paper is that steps it takes to become a elementary education. The main question that I want to get across is what is the process that I will have to go through to complete in order to become a successful teacher. Some sub questions that I am going to look into is what university in the surrounding area has the best elementary education program is available to me. Do I have to take more or less classes to become an elementary teacher or do i take the same classes that a person would if they are going to become a junior high or high school teacher. I am going to get as much information that I can about the topic by looking online and I want to talk to some of my current teachers about what they had to go threw to get to this point in their career and if they are currently working on anything else that would excel them to become a better teacher for example going back to college to get a master degree in the field of their choice

half way already

Well as I sit here looking back thinking about what I have experienced over the last eight weeks. I realized that time has been going by really fast. I took four years off before returning to school and what I noticed the most is that college and high school are like day and night. I think that college is much more easier. teachers work with you unlike the high school i went through it just seemed like they just wanted to push you threw classes and get you the hell out of their hair. I like the flexibility of classes and there is the major factor that you are not forced on going to classes like you are when you are in high school. You are there for a general reason and you don't have to take all those pointless boring classes. I must say that I am very happy with the way my classes are going and as of right I am enjoying college to the fullest but I am sure that will change!!!!

I am most affraid of....

There has been many questions about his existence. It has been said that he is around 7ft tall and has a human like waddle. His body is covered with dark brown to black hair. He can be found mostly in cold climates around Canada and the northern part of the United States The experts call him Sasquatch, I like refer to him as Bigfoot or the scariest thing that could have ever existed. I have always had a fear of him as long as I could remember. I think that it started when I was little when I first saw a documentary on him. I watched it with one of my best friends. We both still to this day believe that he does exist and I think that we always will. I have been teased my whole life about it. I can remember this one time I must have been about thirteen or fourteen years old I was over at my best friends house and we were all hanging out having a good. We were flipping threw the channels and there he was. It was the same documentary that I saw when I was younger. I don’t think that I have ever been more focused on a show It was like I was in a trans or something. Well after the show was over we all we talking about the kitchen and somebody said what would you do if Bigfoot was out in the back yard right now. As I looked out through the thick sliding glass door I started to freak myself out and then out of no where I felt hands grab my arms and push me out in the dark. I tried to get back in but my friends would not let me back in. I was terrified I started pulling on the slider door and yelling let me in let me in all they did was laugh and continue to hold the door closed. Then they told me that Sasquatch was right behind me. I was so scared that I pulled on the door as hard as I could in the process I ended up pulling it off the track. Still to this day my best friends slider doesn't work the right way.

My feeling towards my first graded paper

I am very happy with my grade. I didn't believe that I would receive such a good grade but I did put allot of hard work into the paper and like they say hard work always pays off in the end. I notice that some of the flaws that i thought I need to work on is true. My grammar is horrible. I need to take my time and read my paper over and over again. I also need to write the paper and then wait a few hours or even a day if I have time to wait that long before the paper is do or if I am not working on other things. If i just write a paper and then read it after I type it out then I just put in the words that are suppose to be there but never realize they aren’t. when I do realize that they are not there it is to late because I have all these red or black marks all over my paper. I need to just relax and let my writing flow and see where it takes me. I am a strong writer and I know that I can do better it is just going to take me a little more time and patience. I am looking forward to the next paper which is due Tuesday. I just hope that I can keep my grades up and work toward turning in some amazing papers throughout the remainder of this class and throughout my college career.

What a long weekend

I know it sounds really bad that I am saying this but I hate that I had almost a week off from school. I mean it was nice to relax but I really didn’t get a chance to do that. Well on Friday I had to get my boat out of the water and put in storage for the winter Saturday I got up early to take out my dock I thought that I was going to be in deep trouble because I don’t have any waiters but I was luck because another guy that was there to help had a really bad cold So I just used his. Once we started taking things apart I realized that the water wasn’t really that cold so even if I didn’t have the waiters then I think everything would be ok. Once we finished with the dock and put everything away I came home took a shower grabbed something to eat and sat down on the couch and watched some college football. Like usual I had to take a little cat nap. I woke up around 10 that night watched a little more TV and went to bed for the night. Sunday I usually just relax watch football and enjoy the day off but that didn’t happen this time. I received a phone call at 8:30 from my dad he told me to get some work clothes on that he had a job for me to help him with. He didn’t go into details but I just had a feeling that it was not going to be fun at all. When I pulled up to this house I didn’t see the truck in the driveway. It was weird that it was not in its normal spot but then I remembered that he went to my uncles and cut up wood so he can keep the house warm all winter. I got out of my car and walked around the barn and there was his truck. SMASHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I asked him “What the hell happened. He just looked up at me and said “I was cutting down a tree and it ended up falling the wrong way.” I was like no sh*t and went to the back of the truck to see how much damage it did to the truck. It landed right on the back of the truck but it could not have landed on a better place right over the axles so the shocks and springs took most of the force. I was just happy that it didn’t smash the cab cause then it would not be drive able. We worked on the box for about 2 hours and finally got everything lose to take the box off the truck. Once the box was off of the vehicle we went around the truck and made sure that there was nothing wrong with the frame. It was a miracle but the frame was not bent at all which was amazing because if the frame was bent the truck would be useless but on the good note at least he would get a new truck. so need less to say if you know anybody that has a box for a Chevy pick up truck has to be long bed that they are will to sell please let me know
