My Reflections on Another Blog

How Does Ginseng Kills Cancer Cells?
I liked the Chinese Medicine News blog on How Does a Ginseng Kill Cancer Cells? I thought that the blog was very informative on the different experiments that have been conducted in the UK, Hong Kong, and in China. I liked the fact that the blog had an interest in the health of those who have cancer. I do know few people who have had cancer or who have cancer today. Since, cancer has become a very common illness these days with many people fighting against everyday. I think that cancer is a serious illness that needs to be more controlled by figuring out better ways of medical treatment. That would hopefully make cancer similar to smallpox in the sense that no one ever gets it any more.

Fat-Free Milk May Help Ease Hypertension
Have you ever wondered why your mother told you to always finish your milk when you really didn’t want to? Well, milk is a good source of calcium, vitamin D, and plus provides bone strength. In the Chinese Medicine News blog, I found it interesting in how fat-free milk could ease hypertension and lower your blood pressure. Did you know one out of three American adults have high blood pressure and the majority of these adults are woman in there middle and older ages. Since women are the ones who are getting the high blood pressure, I thought that this was a great way to inform more girls on how they can improve their daily health with just three glasses of milk a day. The blog web site for both of these blogs is chinesemedicinenews.com

My Choice

Today it's gloomy outside and the sun is barely coming out to say good morning to everyone. Classes are going good. Tests are coming up on Friday. Then it's the weekend that comes for everyone to enjoy with their family and friends.

During the week I've been bored because I had already finished my homework and studied for my tests and have no clue as what else I should do with my free time. Since I have free time, I take advantage of what free time I have to myself because later on as the year goes by I probably won't have as much time to myself.

I study to get good grades on my examins. I go to tutoring to improve on my writing skills. I enjoy eatting because since I'm young and thin I can afford a few extra pounds. I have started to exercise for the first time since taking P.E. in high school. I enjoy the feeling of being comfortable in my whole skin after a workout and treating my body as a temple.

As the fourth week of school goes on I've been thinking about how I don't talk to my mom as much as I used to. I miss my mom. I miss all the love and attention that she used to give me. Now my little brother is becoming her new friend, since I've left for school in August. I laughed at the thought of my little brother becoming my mom's new friend. I loved the fact that my brother was becoming more talkative with my mom about school, friends, and he's actually striving to get A's this year. My mom says its different to talk to a boy than it is to talk to a girl because of the fact that you can't relate to the same things or you just get lost in translation.

Lost in Writing

When I'm writing on a certain topic, I am uncertain as to what the topic is about and what the instructor wants out of my writing. The feeling of confusion with my writing skills comes out from not having confidence in myself. In high school my teacher would make us write on the books we had read during the school year. While writing my essays I did not feel comfortable with my ideas or answers to the topics. I felt that my ideas were not as in depth as all the other students in the class. The other students would analyze the readings to make their writings much better than before. I did not know when or how to analyze the work and if my work would be correct to the teachers wantings.
