Bridges
I have many people who influence my life, however my parents are the biggest influence in my life because they are the ones who raised and supported me every since I was born. Through their love, teachings, and encouragements; they have built the person that I am today. Most of their teachings are about living through Christ, teachings that they were taught as a child and their experiences in life. I come from a Christian family. My uncle, father’s older brother, is a pastor at Ya’a’ii’t’iin Fellowship Church, that I attend. What my uncle teaches at church are similar to my father’s teachings. My father always tells my siblings and I to have faith in God, love one another, and to pray for forgiveness. This has impacted me because whenever I feel discouraged my father tells me to pray about the things that I am struggling with and to put it in God’s hands. Just like the past week, I was struggling with understanding the results and conclusion of my research project. I felt stressed that I wasn’t going to complete my project on time resulting me to feel like I just wanted to avoid it. However, I prayed and this week it seems like everything's coming together. Just like that I was able to be at peace and overcome it. Sure enough like my father and uncle said, God is by my side guiding me every step of the way.
The teachings that my parents were taught were influencial to me because I have learn to value the things that my grandparents value. My parents teachings also include examples of how they resolved difficult situations in their life. Their experiecences such as... To be honest, I wouldn’t know what career I would pursue in ten years because for now I am settling with the idea of being a registered nurse. But then, I might want to futher that to lets say a masters degree or a doctorate. I just don’t know what my next approach would be. I am also interested in the lab work that I am doing for this summer, so I could minor in genetics. For sure, I would stay near my family and the maximum distance I would be from them is about..

Hi Joshelle, quick read this week! While it is informative and encouraging to read of how your religion and family have impacted your life for the better, at this point in the program, your post should be better developed. At points your ideas are loosely connected through vague diction that doesn't fully assist readers in following along with what you want to say. Instead of using terms like "it" state specifically what the "it" is. Also, don't include sentences/ideas that you do not complete. For example the ending sentences to some of your paragraphs are ended with ellipses. You do not finish the thought of this sentence and the incomplete idea detracts from the buildup of ideas present throughout the paragraph. Don't take away from your own writing! Either finish the thought or remove the portions of unfinished writing/ideas.

Shelly, It has been a pleasure to go through this program with you! I always forget that you are 18 and still so early in your academic career because you are so mature and carry yourself well. It is cool that you are keeping an open mind on what the future holds and just following your interests. Try a lot of things, find what you are passionate about, and run with it. You will never go wrong, I love how you believe in something and keep your faith. Don't lose that! I wish you the best in all you choose to do!
