Mary Doyle Keefe, who in 1943 posed as “Rosie the Riveter” for famed painter Norman Rockwell, dies at age 92 in Simsbury, Connecticut. Published on the cover of the Saturday Evening Postin May 1943, Rosie came to symbolize women factory workers during World War II. (The Rockwell painting is sometimes conjoined in peoples’ memories with a similarly-themed poster by Pittsburgh artist J. Howard Miller, “We Can Do It!” created the year before.) - 2015

Lesson 1, Discussion Question 1:

 

We need information because it is pertinent to complete our day-to-day activities.  It is especially important in the work force; if we did not know information relating to any specific topic, we would not be able to successfully do our jobs.  To find information in my daily life, I find myself doing a lot of Google searches on my phone or computer.  It helps me become more knowledgeable about certain topics with which I may not be familiar and also helps solidify other ideas.

 

Lesson 2, Discussion Question 2:

 

Now that I am aware of the information I have at my disposal, I can use it to be more efficient with my school work.  It will help me learn more and grow as a future veterinary professional as I pursue my college degree.  It will help with searches about topics I am uncertain about; it will also allow me to retrieve information faster.  In return, I will become much more knowledgeable about the topics I research.

Graduation a joke

Has anyone Really graduated from the Vet Tech program?  I made it to the Practicum 2 and CAN'T complete it because I CAN NOT FIND A PRACTICUM SITE. I find some but they are 3-4 hours away and that is just not practical if the school expects it to be then they don;t need to be an online school since thats the whole reason to do onlince courses is because it's good for your schedule.  I can' afford to travel 3-4 or more hours to do a practicum.

Just a warning to students it's aggravating and it's a waste of money and the school doesn't care OR HELP.

Excel Study Unit: Blurry Figures

I'm having some trouble reading the values for many of the charts they want us to copy over from the PDF to our excel workbook. Is anyone else having problems with the image resolution? I'm afraid most of the numbers in the charts I'm just guessing based on shape because the image is too blurry to see the actual values.  Is there somewhere we can see the images in a higher resolution?

Ok I guess ill introduce myself. Hi my name is Brooke I am 20 years old and live in Wyoming. I am currently studying Medical Termonogy. I am very interested in a career in Medical Administrative Assistant. So I guess I'll tell you a little about myself. At the age of 19 I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, a chronic illness where my immune system attacks my nervous system. Now this was defiantly the last thing I was expecting to deal with right of of high school and in my first semester of college. Unfourtunatly the treatment and struggles I was fighting with became to much to bare and I had to drop out of college and soon after fell into a deep depression. I felt like such a failure and disappointment. I didn't know what to do because it felt like no matter what I did I would fail and make everything worse. The pain would get to me everyday not only physical but emotional pain as well. I felt so hopeless and alone. Till at last I discovered an MS support group in my town. I will never be able to understand why I didn't go earlier. Suddenly I was surrounded by so many other people who completely understand my struggles. They provided my family therapy to reconnect with my family and friends. And the most amazing gift they gave me was the Penn Foster course zero cost to me! I feel so much more fulfilled and hopeful for the future. It's almost been almost a year since I've been diagnosed and have been on treatments and medication for my symptoms. So I've decided to get back on my feet, back to school and back to being happy in life. Now I am determined to finish these classes and show that I my have MS but MS does not have me! So  thank you so much Penn Foster this course will honestly change my life!

It's difficult (at least for me) to fathom that tomorrow (April 23, 2016) will mark the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare.  I'm a huge fan of Shakespeare (among others, of course), and I would encourage those of you who aren't familiar with his work to at least WATCH one of his plays.  There are so many adaptations available!  Choose your poison and experience some Shakespeare this weekend!
