VCT 101 has been very eye opening to what the eye is about ! I’m glad this class is incorporated in the first semester, I find it very helpful overall, I don’t have anything so far that I dislike. Every is pretty much complex and laid out for you, I know that Maryann is always an email away if I have any questions or doubts! I enjoy the most is the discussion boards and the brochures we get to do. Starting with the discussion boards, I love how we all can relate to each others perspectives and how it furthers our knowledge on certain subjects. Week three discussion, I feel was very important ! I really love how Maryann took the time to communicate with us through an assignment, making sure we’re doing good so far…. little things like those I really appreciate. Regarding the brochures and flyers we’ve been doing, I enjoy those very much. It gives you an opportunity to be creative versus always being in a paper format! It’s a nice incorporation that I look forward to every week!

Opthalmic Fabrication is the course that will really strenghten my math skills! The first day Rebecca asked who hates Math, and I shot up my hand LOL, after she explained more in depth that we mostly do Algebra, I was so relief. Not only did the sound of her saying Algebra brought peace of mind to my ears but when she set us up in groups and I got to meet Waleska and Malinda brought very much comfort. I love that we get the chance to learn from our peers, Malinda and Waleska were very helpful and taught me multiple ways to conprehend the material. I love group work, we get to know each other better but also learn skills off each other. The first day of class was very memorable, class was interrupted due to a gas leak in the building, having us to evacuate the building. It was a very cold morning too! Unfortunately some of us were feeling dizzy, so class was dismissed early. For the first week, I’ve learned many new terms like Ocular Dexter which is your right eye! Oculus Sinister is the left eye. I enjoy looking through the glossary and finding the definitions, it’s not only beneficial for us but as I skimmed around some terms stood out to me that I was able to read about.

My favorite Math problems were negative/positive addition and subtraction, I was able to pick up on it. My least favorite is Calculating percentages! That one is a challenge! I’m looking forward to bettering myself on that portion. Overall I really enjoy class and the professor, Rebecca is great and I’m excited to learn more !

This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
