LAST POST ADOPTION

June 9, 2009 at 6:18 pm · Filed under Uncategorized

I have been writing my blogs for my intro computers class. My feelings toward blogs honestly are I don’t like writing them. I feel like no one really cares what I have to say. I will not be continuing my blog after today unless I am really bored and I have nothing to due. Its just the truth. My topic is important to me but I enjoy reading about it not writing. Blogging for me is to much work because I am very busy outside of school. I work constantly and if I’m not working I am at home with my family, spending time with my boyfriend and my friends. During the summer I plan to get away from any SCHOOL work possible and relax and enjoy being a graduate. I will be working to make money so I can travel to Brazil with my boyfriend in February for Carnival. I also will be saving to go to South Africa for the Next World Cup.

Being a blogger is a lot of work. having an assignment to write at least 500 words is very challenging and sometimes I didn’t have 500 words to say. I don’t like having a certain amount of length because if I can get my point across in less than 100 words who cares how many words I type? Also being restricted to only writing about one topic in my class was pretty annoying because I would have liked to write about other things in addition to adoption.

I think that blogs add to my field by sharing experiences, different point of views and advice. When researching I found many blogs that told their own stories which is experience. I saw people who thought that they were different and didn’t like being adopted and others who had a great life experience which would be different points of view. Also people who had been adopted or who adopted gave advice for other people looking for it. The downfall of blogs is not everyone knows their facts so this could steer people away from them. Also a downfall is that there no way to tell if the blogs are factual or if the person made it up because most don’t include a bibliography.

I have learned a lot about my field but most of all I learned about international adoption. I learned about how the adoption process is really hard, its a life time experience and you need to be ready and need to be a strong person. I saw the perspectives of males which I didn’t expect. I don’t think my topic is huge in the media and blogesphere. Most people don’t know much about it. There is definitely an audience for my field, the audience would be: people looking to adopt, people who are adopted, people who have adopted children and pregnant women who are undecided on what to do. I think that interviews with people that were adopted or have crazy adoption stories would be very cool to put in a blog. I would love to read that.

A really good blog I read ;http://www.motherhelp.info/about_me.htm. This blog was an experiance a woman had having to give up babies. Its so touching and I liked her story it gave me the prospective from the birth mother.

A great website to gather information on costs is ;http://domestic-infant.adoptionblogs.com/weblogs/how-much-does-it-cost This website is very informative. It gives great details on costs. It also gives tips on saving money!

http://www.smudailymustang.com/?p=11275 , This website is a news blog or article that is very helpful to learning about current adoption issued and topics going on in the world.

I think that the online adoption field is already very technologically advanced. I wouldn’t go buy a whole book on adoption. I would simply type my question into google and boom get an answer.

Thanks for reading,

BYE!!!

Last Chapter of High School

June 9, 2009 at 4:49 am · Filed under Uncategorized

As I go into my last four days of school I realize I will be leaving the people I have been going to school with since preschool. I have spent such an enormous amount of time with these people and I have truly formed great bonds with a lot of them. I am going into my own world and I know in an earlier blog I talked about where I am going today and whats going on in my life but in this blog I want to say goodbye to my High School and goodbye to my senior class.

Dear Friends,

Thank you for all the amazing experiences you have given to me throughout the years. I will remember each and every memory we have built together. I am so lucky to have such a non judgmental group of people. I have grown up with you all and each and every day we have become more mature together. Although not all of our experiences have been wonderful, they were merely a part of my life. I don’t expect perfection but the senior class of 09 came close. I felt warmly welcomed everyday by my senior class. I have grown close with few but will share a friendship or acquaintance with all. If I see you again in the future don’t be afraid to smile as you pass by, that smile will lighten my day and i will remember how meaningful my experiences in high school will. If we partied together , if you helped me with my homework, if we fought I will remember. I will never forget my senior class of 2009. Thank you for the good and for the bad!..

-Chloe

I am so excited to move on from high school. College will be a whole new great experience. Wish me luck!
