Millions of people everyday discovers they have high cholesterol. They need to understand that it has to do with their lifestyle and also mostly a heredity factor. There is nothing that can be done about the genes you received from your family, but there is something you can do about your lifestyle to help yourself. Learn what foods are good for you and which to avoid. Exercise is an important factor which can help. There is also medication if need be that can help.
They often wonder why, how did I get this condition, how do I treat it. Information like this can be found in many places not just the Dr himself. There are brochures and websites you can have access to. You may want to talk to a friend; one would not believe how many people are affected by this disorder every day. Answers can be found all over the place. One just needs to learn how to access them.
People need to understand this is a growing problem with the population. No single person gender or race is excused from this growing problem. You just need to be informed of ways to help control it. I know we can’t fix everything but we sure can be informed about what can be done. The main concern is fixing the problem for yourself and making sure you live a long life so you can be here for your family and friends. There is no set age to help someone change. I wish I would have known some of this information a long time ago, then maybe I could have helped my mother succeed better that she did.

People just learning the have high cholesterol should be informed of the things that cause it. It not only comes with your lifestyle but also your genes. I have just been diagnosed with high cholesterol. I have talked with my doctor about what causes this problem, he asked if I was addicted to milk, cheese, red meat etc. I told him, no to all above, I can’t drink milk, I love cheese but not every day, I love a good steak but not every day. All the things he talked about I am guilty of, but not in an excessive manner. However, I am a smoker and a drinker, I know these are major factors and I plan to do something about these two bad habits.
However, the one thing he did say is with my numbers being so high, it has to be a heredity factor! I know my mother had the same problems and she and I were just alike. How can anyone beat heredity? I truly believe I have this problem because of my genes and not my total lifestyle. I know my children will have the same problem when they are older because of their genes. I think more information should be published about how genes and heredity are factors in the diagnosis of high cholesterol.
I am being place on medicine to help lower my cholesterol, which I am not happy about I do not like to take unnecessary medications for anything. Is there herb supplement I can take? I am currently researching that issue, which I hope to have an answer to soon.
In order to set a good example I am going to do my best to break the two bad habits I have and start creating new ones, that will help reflect the good in life and not so much the bad. I am determined to not let high cholesterol beat me I am going to beat it!

Group 4 assignment is to create a document that will assist upcoming Eng 333 students with the course online. The final document will be made into a brochure which will hopefully be posted on the English Departments Website. Online courses are often viewed as an easy way of taking a college class that you can work at your own leisure, but they are also considered a scary idea, but we feel with this brochure students will think differently about taking this class online as well as others on line.
I believe our group is on track of finishing our project. We have tried to work together as a group to achieve this goal, it has been a bit hard with everyone in different areas, but we are making it work to achieve our goal. I believe the hardest part about this project was the fact of getting the questionnaire answered by the current students. The replies that have come back were not as many as had been hoped for. I am currently working on the replies to submit for the final phase of the project. All in all I believe we have enough information to achieve our goal of easing the pain of upcoming students into ENG 333.
Group work can be fun to do; the only problem is when the group is scattered out. I for one would prefer a group that is close in area so I could meet up with them at least once during the course of the project. One meeting would achieve so many unanswered questions. I realize this would be hard for an instructor to accomplish but I feel the final project would be so much more elaborate for the instructor and the students in general. Our group has been taking on the phone when needed but in my opinion it is just not the same as a face to face meeting. I know we will be meeting or taking again before the final project is due to discuss any last minute details either by skype or phone which is wonderful but there is still the small problem of getting everyone together at the same time.
I am not sure how we will present our project as a group but I am sure we will be working with Mrs. Bandy when the time comes to accomplish this. This assignment was very confusing to me, but I have to say it has been a great pleasure working with Stacey and Shonda they have really made this assignment easy for me to understand.

ENG 333, Summer 2010

Beginning the Job Search
This assignment was extremely hard for me to do. I am already guaranteed a job with my school upon graduation. So it was hard to look for other jobs, that I may be interested in. I am considering returning to get my masters one day but for now I am really just concerned with getting my bachelors degree. I am forty one years old and I feel as though I have been in school for fifty years trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up.
All job opening in my field require the same type of information. One must be licensed within the state they wish to teach, must want to help little minds grow. The candidate must be professional and able to connect conceptions, assumptions, processes of inquiry and ways of knowing to the discipline they teach. They must be able to use multiple representations and explanations of concepts that link the taught discipline to students’ prior understandings. A good teacher will need to use a variety of instructional methods ad strategies in order to encourage students’ development of critical thinking, problem solving and performance skills.
I believe I meet all of these goals above. My first concern is to teach the babies what they will need to know to carry out life. Having been an assistant for five years I understand the need to be professional and the needs of the children. Children need a lot of understanding because they are not all equal in the same ways. Each child is different and had different learning abilities. This is why observation is an important role as a teacher. Things need to be taught in different way for different children to learn. I personally believe in a lot of hands on experiences, I feel you learn more by doing not just by reading or writing it.
I am really interested in teaching a higher grade such as fifth or sixth. I feel I can connect with these children and make learning fun for them. They may not feel like they are learning but I feel I can put it in a way they will be learning what they need to. I think school should not be all learn and no play, I think you will get more out of your students if you let them play a bit while they learn.

Dear Candle.net Webmaster,
I was recently surfing the internet to find some wonderful candles to give as teacher appreciation gifts. I came across your web site and was amazed to find such a variety of candles. It is to my understanding that you are one company and you sell several other companies candles.
Have you considered revamping your website? As a student whom just finished a computer class, I would like to share a couple of ideas with you about your website that may make it more appealing and be helpful to pull more customers your way who might be doing what I did and be surfing the web.
You signify the flame of the candle means: “ faith, hope, remembrance , freedom, wisdom and love”, which is very true. However, to me your website doesn’t deliver any of those traits. When I think of a candle I think of happiness, family, romance, relaxation, the smell of something wonderful.
You may want to consider brightening up you background. With a brighter background your audience will feel happy (the black is dull and depressing), interested as to what is within the pages, and it will make your site more inviting to customers. I also noticed some of the fonts on your pages are hard to read, you may want to take into consideration of your older surfers. You may want to consider changing the font size and color to match your new background. If customers can read the font easily they are more apt to read more about the site and maybe purchase.
Another idea you may want to consider, I noticed you had pictures of many of the items. Looking at the pictures you have posted they seem too beautiful to be true, in my opinion they look like they were taken from a magazine. You may want to consider taking your own pictures and exhibit those on the web. Customers like to view the actual product they will be receiving. I would also show a wide variety of colors within the picture. You have your fragrances listed but I for one would like to see the colors of the items.
I hope you will consider some of these recommendations for your website as I think they will benefit your company in the long run.
Sincerely,
Sherleen Thibodeaux
