Journal 4 :)
Question 1: My present thoughts determine my future. What am I thinking about today that will have a positive impact on my future?
Today I have been researching the places that I would like to go my externship for the Medical Assisting program. It has been very encouraging to find out how many different places I can do it in. This experience has been so exciting so far and I can not wait until I start my classes on Medical Assisting. My family has been a great support in my decision to go back to school and it has made it so much easier to do so because of that. By having such a positive experience this far has allowed me to have dreams about this career and what my life will be like when I am finished. All the positive thinks has a great impact on my future and what I can do with the career that I have chosen.
Question 2: Explain what academic success looks and feels like for you.
So far I have done well throughout this course. What academic success looks like to me is when I make it to Presidents Honor Roll. That has been a goal of mine since before I started this course and was going through the enrollment process. I want to be able to tell and show others that may not be so sure about going back to school after a family or at my age what a person can achieve if their mind is set on something. I wan to be able to put on a job application my achievements, it means a lot to me about how a person views my abilities when applying for a position. My overall feeling is to some it up SUCCESS!! I set a goal achieved it to the best of my abilities, have a career, can provide for my family and most importantly be a positive influence to my children about continuing their education after high school.
Question 3: As I work towards my goals, what attitudes, beliefs, and self-talk do I need when I am faced with a challenge or an obstacle?
Positivity and to have clear goals set for myself will be the push that I need when I am struck with a challenge. I will always remind myself why I am doing what I am doing. I need to tell myself I can do it not matter what it might be or how hard I have to work. A person that works hard for things is determined, confident, strong willed and focused on what they want out of it. I believe that I can do it, so I will. I have said it before but if a person does not succeed at a task, they need to look at it and figure out an alternate way of thinking, there is not only one answer to things. Being challenged is my strength not a weakness. I am open to challenges each and everyday, I have to be I am a mom who has a full time job, goes to school, huge parent volunteer and has 3 children. There is not a fail option in my book. This course has done everything for me and re-assured me about the beliefs I had and that I am doing the right things for the right reasons.

Journal 3
Question 1: What activities am I currently avoiding because they are out of my comfort zone?
Currently I'm not really avoiding any activities; however, for longer then I can remember I use to always avoid trying new foods. Is funny as it sounds I used to eat all the same foods no matter if I ate at home or went out to dinner. Here lately I have been eating out more since I have not had much time between work, the kids activities and school. So far I have had good experiences trying new things. My husband say " he is glad I'm changing it up lately." LOL. I have a couple new favorite restaurants to say the least. I feel that avoiding something because it may be out of a persons comfort zone is not allowing personal growth. Even though I do not currently have activities that I'm avoiding, I am sure at some point in the future something will come up. I am going to ensure that I always keep an open mind and except change when necessary.
Question 2: Discuss 3 things that have gone well in my life which I am proud.
First off I want to talk of my greatest achievement which is the three beautiful children I had. They are the reason I work as hard as I do to provide for them each and everyday. Its not easy let me tell you, but I would not change it for anything in this world. Each one of my kids test me almost daily...One day is smooth sailing and the next I feel I want to pull my hair out. I'm sure lots of you can relate! Secondly, I want to talk about school. For the most part I have always been an over achiever and some what OCD about things. I took and continue to take a lot of pride in school and the effort I put in it. I hold myself to very high standards and will not allow myself to fail or even slack. Lastly, I moved from California to Missouri 5 years ago and with out doing that I would not be where I am today and I'm very grateful to all who has helped my family along the way. I own my own home before I'm thirty, I don't have to worry about the outside environment my kids grow up in or the school they go to. Also, I have good friends and a good job. What more could I ask for? Nothing but health, love and our future.
Question 3: Where have I already achieved a goal and need to set a new one?
I have already achieved the goal of going back to school. I went back and forth on this subject for some time now; additionally, I doubted myself and sometimes felt as if I could not do it or that I've been out of school for so long that I would loose focus and especially do to it being an online classroom. i am very proud of myself so far. I have done way better that I thought I would do just starting. This class I'm taking has really helped me focus on goals that I have, the ways I can achieve them and my future and what I want it to look like. I have set the goal to be on Presidents Honor Roll. So far I feel that this is a goal that is highly achievable and I will make it. I continue to look forward to new classes and challenges that come up along the way. I especially am excited about starting my career as a Medical Assistant this next year.
