Being an online student is a wonderful and convenient way to learn. I worked for the same company for twenty years and when they downsized I was one of the lucky ones they let go. I say lucky now...but at first I was devastated. I knew I was going to have a lot of spare time on my hands and very shortly found myself running out of things to do, places to go , and people to see. I live in a rural part of Oregon where jobs are far and few between and the manufacturing industry was hit especially hard, so perspective job opportunities in this field were none to nil, to say the least. Oh, I forgot to mention that I worked for an international door and window manufacturing company based here in Oregon. Anyway, my son suggested I take some online courses to become a medical transcriptionist. When I contacted Kaplan University to discuss enrollment I found out that I could become a CMA, which is something that I have only dreamed about doing. Now here I am...creating a new beginning and making my dreams come true.

This blogging business is all new to me. I think I'll eventually learn to enjoy it.

This Is It

This is my new blog. I hope it works.
