7th week of school

This is my seventh week in my English class at Kaplan University and I am doing well. How do I feel about peer reviews??? I feel real good about peer reviews because this is a very good way to get some feedback on my draft. I think peer reviews are a good way to get your errors corrected. I think the professor did good by allowing us (the students) to review each other's work. I have been very successful in researching for my paper. The topic of my research paper is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in Children. I've found some very useful information on my topic as well as my own encounters with this disorder; I suffered from obsessive compulsive disorder as a young child. I can not wait to turn in my draft to my peers so I can get others feedback on my work and give my own constructive feedback as well.

Last 6 weeks

What have I been personally dealing with for the last six weeks?
-Well for the last six weeks I have been hard at work, literally, with family, work and school. I am currently taking three classes at Kaplan University and I have learned to really get down on school work. I took on these three classes as a challenge and so far I am doing well with them. I plan to take on three more classes for the next term as well.
-I am going to write about obsessive compulsive disorder in children for the research paper in my English class. Why I choose this topic? I chose this topic because I can relate real well with OCD; as a child growing up I suffered from OCD and I know this disorder like the back of my hand-lol-
I just hope that my research paper comes out good and I make at least an A or B on it because I have been putting in hard work on this paper so far.

School has influenced me a lot over the years; at one point I sat out of school for some years to concentrate on working. On the other hand, I knew deep down inside that it would be a great advantage to me if I was to graduate from college. I decided to return to college online because it was so much better for me to complete my studies online and it helped me balance my job and the role of being a mommy. Kaplan Unversity was my school of choice and so far I know I have made the right decision to return back to school after theses years; my two boys are my top priority and my main reason for wanting to graduate. I have always felt that if I graduate from college this would enable me to get a better job which would equal better pay.
