RJA #1 : Areas of Academic Interest

RJA #1 : Areas of Academic Interest.

When I was asked to reveal my basis for my writing and research on my assignments for the class, I thought it would be an easy answer. Well, it was not. I have many factors that are the foundation for me this semester. Most are what I learned in the college setting, and the MANY courses I have taken in all subjects. But alot of my basis is from instructions and self taught tactics in the outside world. Raising children was a huge factor. In frequent helping of homework, and volunteer time in their schools, I am given a constant review of what I know and learned through the years, which keeps my knowledge in check. Also, my many years in the work force kept writing skills up as well. I am not one to be influenced by current issues in my writings, but of long term issues and subjects and no popular culture.

But, in the end, I have a constant wanting to learn and it excites me to be enrolled in the college. The fact that I want to be a teacher will itself help my
research methods and critical thinking.
