What makes my topic worth it!

I think that the topic for itself.


Lung cancer is a terrible thing to go through. I can just imagine what the individual feels and how they react to situations that arise out of the course of the disease. To be told that your life is going to take a drastic turn, one that you did not chose to take, has to be a terrible feeling. How does the person react and deal with this? Do the family and the person understand the reality of the disease? Where does the individual go to get help? I want to help by writing a paper that will bring understanding to the power of this disease on the person and ways to overcome and move forward. As the disease changes, treatments change right along with everything else. My ideas someday I hope will inspire someone to go deeper into this topic for people to understand the whole picture.

Let's talk about school and how it changed me.

I can say that the decision to return to school at this point in my life has made me a stronger person. I have always said the one time that I was determined more than any time was when I went to nursing school in '92. I wanted to continue my education since then but time after time, I found some excuse not to. It was because I was afraid I could not afford it or that it would take too much time away from my kids. Later on, it was I am too old to do it now. I found that anything is possible when you reach out and grab it. The birth of online school  has made it even better for me. I can work and see my family and still go to school. I feel I am a better person in many ways just by enrolling in school and completing my first course. I showed myself I can do it and my dreams are reachable. I in turn take this and tell everyone I know that they should go for it too. I gained more confidence in myself, I feel proud, and I am determined more than ever. It is never too late to learn something new.

Today my truck broke down. I am not sad and upset; I can still do all that I want too. I just have to find a ride to work and the store until I get it fixed. I think by being in school I have learned to be calm and figure things out in a positive way rather than thinking negative.

I am more organized and focused. I think of myself as a "doer" rather than "let’s put it off till later". Overall school has made me into a completely different person internally, which makes me act in a different way. I feel I am emerging into a professional! It is all good for me and I am very proud of myself for the choice I made last year.

How would you feel about someone taking credit for your creation?

To answer this I would say I think it is completly wrong and disrespectful. I can imagine  if I were to read something from another author and found that it was my work that  I would be very mad. I would  then have to figure out how to stop them from taking more. It would most likely cost me money to do this and I already do not have that much so I would be even more upset.

You work so hard to create something it should stay yours.
