Beginnings

My masterpiece has given me the realization that nursing is always going to be a big part of my life not only because its what Im going to do for the rest of my life but its the passion I have for it. Doing research on my masterpiece opened my eyes to endless possibilities that are out there in the world. It just really feels great knowing what exactly I want to do in life and knowing the steps how to get there it makes me feel confident to start this new chapter in my life.

Connections

3-5 moments in my day that reminded me in some way of my masterpiece:

1. Applying to college got me thinking about my masterpiece because my major is nursing and thats what my masterpiece is focusing on

2. My anatomy class has me constantly thinking of the main point of my masterpiece and how I just love learning new things about the human anatomy

3. And my english class where we constantly work on our masterpiece by getting new ideas and figuring out ways to make it better

Look at my brain

My  masterpiece shows how Im really determined to become a nurse and the time and work I put into it to show that this is what i really want to become. Even though its tough sometimes to figure out what to put toward my masterpiece I have came a long way with it and Im proud what i have accomplished so far.

Raising Digital Awareness

I believe that it is important to draw visitors to my site because its great to see and hear peoples feedback to your opinions and thoughts an maybe help/ collaborate with me on my masterpiece so I wont have just my opinion.

Right now I havent been fully committed to my blog and thats is going to change right away because I made this blog for people to se my thoughts on certain topics and just basically showing i have a voice.

The main step i need to to take to improve the value of my site visitors that I really need to start posting a lot more and show that im taking more of an active roll on my blog and not slacking off. I think that digital tools and human ideas/ interactions are both equally important. Digital tools can lead to human interactions.

After reading the article 'Recovery to Whom' it really made me think about how our future is going to turn out because of this economic downturn. The article states that 'nearly 16 percent of those in their mid 20's to mid 30's were in poverty in 2012', and it really makes me think if those high numbers of poverty happened in 2012 what does the future hold? Are we going to keep spiraling down or are we as a nation going to really work on the growth of the economy? It actually really worries me that my generation is going to have to suffer through these tough times. One thing that really caught my attention is what the article said about our generations education saying 'in the 20-to 34 age group are the best educated cohort in American history'. Having to read that really irritated me because does that mean if I pursue to go to college that it really wont pay off in the long run because education doesn't create jobs and opportunities that lead you to prosperity(said in the article)? But isn't education suppose to lead you to prosperity and now I'm being told that it doesn't because of how bad the economy is? Its really unfair and absurd that we have to be put in this predicament and how our economy cant find a way out of this downturn.
