Article

As part of a class project I wrote an article to go along with my blog. So here is my nearly final draft of what I wrote. Sorry if it's not very legible, taking a screen shot was the only way for me to get it online for you all.

Blogging update

Hi readers,

Just want to give a little insight into my blogging experience since this is my first blog. I am currently in a seminar class in which we discuss how make a blog effective. We also talk about how online text is changing the way we read and write since the audience is very different from the one we address in physical published works.

Even after my class ends in a couple weeks I plan to maintain this blog at least throughout the June ROV competition, but hopefully as long as I am involved with ROVs. Most of what I've written about is my background story, but Spring quarter is when all the ROV excitement takes place, so I should have plenty to tell you.

I have really enjoyed being able to share my experiences with you and I am so very grateful for your support. I know that when I first started writing this blog you may have struggled to stay interested, but I hope that as I continue to write posts I will develop my skills as a blogger and can help you become more engaged in my story.  I also apologize for not always posting very frequently, my life with pre-med classes, work, and an internship doesn't leave me with much time or energy to write captivating posts  (or any posts) more than once a week.

In relation to that, if there are any specific topics you'd like to see me blog about please let me know. I'm always open to new post ideas and ways to add diversity to my blog. I'd love to know what you'd like to hear about.

Thanks for reading and I hope to hear from you!
