Blog Unit 9

This has been a very trying term for me. This course has been one that I enjoy because I love to write and express my thoughts and ideas. However, life can sometimes get in the way and if allowed can cause defeat from accomplishing immediate goals. I believe that multi-tasking is a skill that must be mastered; I can never just be satisfied with having the same routine every day. However, multi-tasking must be efficient and no task should suffer from the other. This sometimes can be very complicated to accomplish, that is why there is a saying the focus means “follow one path until successful!” This is not always easy to do!

I have learned this term that time management is a skill that is always being acquired and sharpened. We must be careful not to get relaxed or make assumptions that there will be time to accomplish something that can be resolved today. I love writing and I like the writing handbook that we used for this course. It has everything inside of it to master the skill of writing research papers. I will definitely keep it by my side throughout the remainder of my college career and even when I begin working in the Medical field I will refer back to it. I feel pressured because I want to succeed in this course however; I will have to wait patiently to see my final grade. Writing my paper has been enjoyable and the class as well. I just wish my schedule would have allowed for me to attend my seminars more often which would have allowed me to get to know my fellow classmates and professor much better. Overall, I enjoyed this class, I know that my writing skills and techniques have improved and I understand  APA format better!

Full Circle

Blog Unit 8

I enjoyed creating a blog web site. It is amazing how things come full circle in life! I was told by a friend four years ago to create a blog to express my ideas and thoughts. At this time I was pursuing my goal to be an entertainment journalist and trying to build my writing resume. Well, at that time I really didn’t see that value in a personal blog even knowing how many entertainment journalist have boosted their careers by starting a blog on the web that discusses celebrities and the entertainment industry! So of course when you don’t see value in performing a certain action then you will not follow thru with completing that action. Fast forward four years later I now have a blog on the exact same web site that I began creating one back then! I enjoy writing on my blog and yes I will use it in the future to share ideas, thoughts, goals and knowledge pertaining to self development and my business that is rooted in the health & wellness industry.

BLOG 7 - MY AH-HA MOMENT

BLOG 7 - MY AH-HA MOMENT

During my research about the FDA and its regulations. I did come across an article that stated that the FDA is intending on regulating dietary supplements and labeling of healthy products. It was quite an eye opener to read how this government agency wants to regulate every aspect of the food and medical industry. But is regulating companies and protecting the public so poorly.

          It is amazing how the government creates agencies and policies that are in the best interest of the people. Officials are mandating laws and statues that protect the people and are making this country a better place to live. But I question why does all government agencies that were created to assist the common people are maleficent and substandard in the way that these agencies serve the public. From the Department of Children and Family Services to FEMA there is a lack of urgency and professionalism.

          There has got to be a more efficient and professional way to serve the public. However realistically to see these changes in governing would have to first change how we govern. America has become more of a capitalist country than a democracy. I am not sure which the lesser evil is.

RESEARCH ON FDA

I own my own home-based business distributing health & wellness products that are all natural. This has caused me to take a serious interest in pharmaceutical drugs and how they are affecting people’s health negatively. Most synthetic drugs are causing people to have become more ill and develop more diseases while taking these medications than before they were prescribed. The Food & Drug Administration is supposed to have the best interest of the public in mind while watching over the scientists that formulate these drugs. However, this is not being done.

I also want to do research to provide people with information about how natural & herbal remedies are more beneficial than synthetic drugs that cause more damage. This is very important to me and writing this research paper has motivated me to continue my research to open the minds of the people who actually believe that the Food & Drug Administration is upright and non-bias. They are truly deceived.
