Concluding blog post...

Writing blogs was defiantly something new and challenging for me this semester. I learned a lot about blogs I had no idea about. Thinking of a blog topic to write and discus about is certainly not an easy one if you're a first time blogger. You should defiantly want to know about the topic you're talking about and who your audience is going to be. But each blog I've posted I've learned many things on how to get better on writing one each time.

I had an idea about my topic, Women In The Armed Forces, but not as much as I needed to complete my blog posts' the way I should have. I had some difficulty on finding things to write about, not being sure if my community would be interested or not. To improve my blogs, I could have done better research about my topic. My goal this semester was to have readers be connected and interested in my topic, but I didn't fully accomplish that because me myself couldn't really connect basically because I did not do the proper research. But in the end, it was defiantly a learning experience and something new to do. Now, I know more about blogs and the whole meaning of them and more about my topic then I did when I first started writing.

For future students who want to blog or take this class, I suggest you know a lot about your topic you want to write about before you begin writing about it, the audience your writing for, and know how to research your topic and what sources to use. Listen and take from the feedback your community gives to you, it helps you go beyond your topic and find out information you didn't even know about or realize. The goal should always keep your readers interested!

Veteran's Day: Women in the armed forces

We all know Veteran's Day is the day to remember all the people that served in the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marines. This year, more women got the recognition they deserve for doing their part in the forces. With the ban of women in combat, it was just lifted last January but little do people know, women have been serving in combat way before the ban was lifted. It is about time these women are finally getting recognized for doing their job!



Captain Armour, the U.S.'s first black woman to serve as a combat pilot is one of the thousands of women we give respect to for serving. She and other woman were technically banned from serving in combat which was leaving them to not have the same access to honor and benefits as the male counterparts. These women do very dangerous work and finally are receiving the credit, but weren't getting recognized because it was illegal at the time. It is nice to know that these strong, brave, women finally got their first real Veteran's Day!
