 I always dreamed of having a daughter or two when I became an adult.  I didn't see my future without kids.  I have a huge extended family and I was always used to being around or babysitting babies and toddlers.  I always told my mom that I wanted a girl because I can relate being a female as well.  The  thought of dressing little girls in cute dresses, getting their prom dresses and then their wedding dresses. I was fortunate to have one child and I got a girl.  I knew that there would be struggles in life, but I was not prepared for the challenges that the future had for me.  After giving birth, I found out that my daughter needed surgery due to having a soft cleft palate.  She also had to have tubes put into her ears.  Twenty-one years later, she got diagnosed with a rare type of cancer and she was in the stage four phase.  All that I could think of was how I was fortunate, but I felt like I was being reminded of how fortunate I...

An introduction to blogs carries a vast amount of information and details.  Until this assignment, I have never really been into reading blogs. It was very interesting to read through personal and professional blogs.  The information that you gain from reading both types of blogs helps out in different situations.  They provide details for travel, what's trending and even the newest releases in music or movies.   I enjoyed reading personal blogs because most of the writers put you in their feet and make you feel as if you are experiencing what they are discussing.   An example of a blog I like can be found at https://www.theblondeabroad.com/ .  If not that, then it makes you want to experience what they are explaining.  Personal bloggers discuss trials by themselves or with family like travelling or being a first time solo hiker.  Reading personal blogs makes me feel the experience through their writing.  They discuss details that I...
