Blogging- First Time!

I'm new to blogging and hope with a little practice I can make this page my own. I was happy to learn I am not the only one in my class that's a newbie to this. Together maybe we can make it all make sense!

Tina,

Almost everyone will be new to Blogging. It is a wonderful educational tool to remain current in practice and theory by sharing new strategies and learning throughout your Masters degree program. Great beginning!

Tina, I really like the layout of your blog! The background is particularly appealing to look at! Blogging is new to me too. I chose to use BlogSpot too. I hope it will be an easy program to get used to!

I did not really realize what blogging was until now either. What is really ironic is I now have developed a blog to share information with my current and future families for the early childhood center where I am the director. Along with now utilizing the blog communication tool for class, I should soon be an expert and I am sure you will be too. Welcome and I look forward to working with you.

Personal Childhood Web

Terry- A neighbour of mine when I was a teenager. She was like a big sister in a way and treated me like my age instead of like a small child. I could confide in her and she helped me through a sticky situation when I was in high school. She taught me that although things seemed bad at the time and like there was no possible way out, that all things end eventually. That thought has helped me through some tough times in my life.
Chris- My brother. Chris joined the service when I was young, but when I'd visit him he never ceased to congratulate a grade or a new step in my life. He is someone who gives appreciation and shows admiration to everyone. He is intense to learn more about you and to help you feel better about yourself along the way. He carries my favorite trait which is sometimes hard to find- common sense. I hope I have gathered at least a handful of his knowledge and kindness along the way. His open heart and courage to do good is a constant reminder to me that there is more to people than meets the eye.
Kathy- A friend of my mother's, she was and still is someone who tells it like it is. She would never hide anything about the truth to me and she was comical in telling it. If I had a question, Kathy had a straightforward answer. Still to this day Kathy will not hesitate to give meaningful opinions and life lessons to me. I don't call her enough, but I do think of her constantly especially when life throws me a curve ball and I make some kind of joke out of it!
Louise- A friend of my mother's, she was someone I could tell things to that I was afraid to tell my mom. She would comfort me and let me know I was normal and tried to figure out ways to help me in any situation. She stayed calm and optimistic and I always admired those traits about her that I wish I could have found at home. Louise has definitely taught me to stay true to myself and not try to change to meet another's needs. She's also taught me positivity lasts longer and doesn't create as many wrinkles.
Melanie- She was a childhood friend who had a stable family life and was very intelligent. She helped me study and she helped me see past what other's thought to find out what I thought. Melanie is someone who I assume went on to become some kind of life changing scientist. She showed me dedication, and for a young child to see a peer unafraid of committment to something left a lasting impression.
