Chapter 1 Blog

Hello my name is Kristen. My life currently consist of working two jobs and being a full time student. There isn't much time left for anything other than work and school. I love almost anything pertaining to history, especially American history. This is why I've chosen to take this class, my appreciation for American history has also made me quite interested in American Government. I figured this would be an opportunity for me to become more informed on exactly how things work in our system. I work in a Senior Behavioral Unit as a MHT. I love my job, and have found the health field so rewarding. However while being employed at the hospital I've seen the direct hits that a hospital takes when government changes policies. When had such a low census I didn't get to work for two months straight. Also I see older people who need help, and cannot get it. This makes me want to become more educated on how exactly our government works. For my future plans I would like to become on optician's assistant, and then obtain a bachelors of science in medical management.
