This was my first online course and I truly enjoyed taking it, got over some of the fear that I've had with online courses, and truly enjoyed having Mr. Goldfine for an instructor. He always gave me positive criticism; as well as a lot of self-confidence with my writing material.
I learned how to write an effective essay using appropriate paragraph structure and key elements that should be incorporated with each paragraph.
This class definitely was worth the time and money!

Comparison Redo
Mothers and Trees
There are storms that will strike throughout the years that will produce damage to trees….some damages will be massive while others will be minimal. There will be numerous hot days that will produce damages to the trees; as well. The ideal goal is to keep the weather calm, sunny, and uneventful in order to ensure strength for the trees. A mother that provides shelter, strength and flexibility for her children will be able to look at and understand the comparisons between herself and the trees.
Trees provide shelter for birds and other forest animals. When winter winds blow and sleet is falling to the ground the tree will sway and crystallize and will do it’s best not to break. This is similar to the way that I care for my children; as any good parent would care for their child. I make sure they dress warmly when it’s cold outside, or the way that I used to swaddle my children as newborns to keep them cozy and warm.
Tree branches sway in the breeze and occasionally a branch will break off and fall to the ground. We see this happen a lot in the fall of the year. As a parent of two busy athletic children who play soccer, football, basketball, softball and baseball our schedules are pretty hectic. I find myself being the solo transporter rushing around—trying to make sure the kids have a decent meal, that the laundry is caught up, and try to keep the house clean. At times I feel like that tree that is swaying in the wind with branches breaking off of it from all of the stress that I’m under with all of the above domestic duties. However, the most important duty for me is making sure that I’m at my kids functions and am their biggest fan!
A much bigger storm comes and a huge limb crashes to the ground and part of the tree is split down the center. That tree was me when my children were two and three years old. I endured chemotherapy for six months. The kids still needed to be cleaned, fed, played with, and nurtured. There were moments when I had decided to quit the treatment but I gained strength and finished the regime for my kids. I had to stand tall and finish the treatments so that I could be around to see my children grow.
Trees are strong, protective, are able to sway and sometimes will break. A good mother will always protect her children, keep them warm and fed and provide a nurturing environment for them to live. They will also go with the flow as their children face small obstacles in their lives whether it be happy or sad. Mothers are a lot like trees—they may bend a little but they never break

A good mother will understand the comparisons between herself and the significance of a tree.
Trees provide shelter for birds and other forest animals. When winter winds blow and sleet is falling to the ground the tree will sway and crystallize and will do it’s best not to break. This is similar to a mother caring for her children. She will do whatever it takes to protect her children and provide a safe and caring environment for them to live.
Tree branches sway in the breeze and occasionally a branch breaks off and falls to the ground. We see this happen a lot in the fall of the year. This reminds me of small incidents that occur in children’s lives—whether it be a broken bone or breaking up with your first boyfriend. A mothers branch may break off of the tree when she sees her children upset but her tree does not falter. She is still there to listen and give support and continues to be flexible and sway in the wind.
A much bigger storm comes and a huge limb crashes to the ground and part of the tree is split down the center. This reminds me of the devastation that mothers may have to potentially face with their children regarding divorce, death, and life threatening injuries or illnesses. Her heart is breaking for her children—people wonder how she will ever stay strong enough to withstand the damages…..but she does.
