Before College

When I am writing this, I’m really thinking about how this has changed me.  My  blog has been really quite the last few years due to my overwhelming time for working all this over time at my previous job.   When the pandemic hit last year early 2020, the company, I was working at at the time had to make some really hard decisions and they decide to shut down our plant that I’ve been working at for several years.  So we started the process of shutting down the plant and they started the process of laying people off and putting 300 workers off to find better and greater things.   I say that with a little trepidation because they really didn’t care too much what we did after we got laid off or what our plans were.  They just shut the door and said good luck.   I hold no grudge with the company because they provided me with a stable income and a stable job even the benefits were a lot better than I was used to.  While the process was difficult for me and others because we would have to find a new job or go to a new location, I find it was also a rewarding aspect of getting  laid off.   I found that I could go back to school for a trade or skill and I took the opportunity to get my Information Technology Support certifications that I’ve always wanted.

To Present Day

If you haven’t been paying attention the last few weeks, I’ve been trying to keep posting stuff to my blog to talk about subjects that I thought were interesting.   It was required of us to talk about these topics and thought I would be nice to share my thoughts to the community at large.   I don’t expect everyone to understand the concept but I do think it’s something that I thought would bring even more people to understand me and my thoughts in the big world of college education.  We were required to write about certain subjects and I just wanted to bring you guys along for the ride.  So when we got the subject over with I would throw the writings that I did on the blog to see what people thought or what type of response I got from it.   So far it’s not been extremely bad or good, I’ve seen people coming more to my blog on a regular basis but I’m hopeful that more people will drop by and see what I might be posting in the future.

Future Plans

The future is bright for me, I intend to continue the process of writing posts.   If I see a discussion that I like and think others will be enlightened,  I will most likely publish it on my website.   I’m just at odds to what my professors will say or do if they think I am plagiarizing my own work.   I doubt they can do anything more than smile because I am using my own work and sharing it with the world.   It also helps prevent others from using my work for their own devious needs in the future.  I started scheduling more blog post in the coming weeks and I’ll sit down later on this week or next and write even more post to keep this momentum up.  I’m hopeful that more people will come to my site for insightful thoughts and knuckets from me.   So you see college has helped me to see that I’m a better writer than I thought.  I never thought my blog was anything special.  I just like to write and it was something that I wanted to try.   I’ve got some good responses from classmates about my work and that is why I published them here.

College and Me

Finally, I will talk about how it has changed me.   You might not know much about me but you know that I love to write and love to discuss what’s on my mind and that can be a great enjoyment of mine.   I think the biggest thing that has happened to me is that I have a better understanding on how well I write and what people think about my writing abilities.   All the teachers are really impressed and surprised by what I write about how how well I discuss subjects.  The one thing I can say to anyone who’s thinking about college, do something that brings you joy.  You can’t lose when it comes to grades and your life will better for it.

Do you like what you’ve read so far?  Why not comment and tell me what you liked or hated about my blog posts.   I’d love to hear from my current readers and to see my blog posts being shared around the world.
