Week 8 Reading and Writing

So far, my reading and writing for this class hasn't been the best. Being a science major, reading has never been my forte, and being creative with writing has always been something that is difficult for me. However, in regards to the layout of my blog and website, I can say that i'm happy with how they look and function. While I may not be good at being creative while writing, I do enjoy retelling some of my favorite episodes from the epics we have been reading. The epics, in my opinion, tell really interesting stories, and some episodes are so action packed that retelling them is fun. My biggest accomplishment in my writing I think is changing the perspective. I really like retelling stories from one or a few character's point of view to give it a refresh. When it comes to reading notes, it took me a while to find a style that helps me retell the story. I personally have to read an entire episode, and then bullet point the important information that happened, without carrying too much descriptive information over. My notes are still pretty long, and I would like to shorten them, but overall, I think I found a technique that works for me.

But I stuck with doctor. My mom would ask me every couple of years what my plans were, and she always got the same answer. I never even really knew why. Before I knew how hard it was, or how long it took, or even the financial stability that comes with it, that's all I wanted to be. Well, fast forward to high school, I started to realize that becoming a doctor was no easy task. I thought that since I made good grades and excelled in math and science that I would be a prime candidate. Boy was I wrong. Being the first person in my family to make it past high school, I didn't really have anybody showing me the ropes or mentoring me on my path to become a doctor. This put me behind most
