Blogging about blogging

     I wanted to start by saying I have never had a blog before, but in saying that, I am excited to start my first one now.  I found it appropriate to name my blog after the title of the book I am reading called "Do I Really Have to Teach Reading?"  When I first discovered that I had to take a class to teach reading and writing, I though it was a little silly and immediately thought of the title of my book!  After all, I am going to school to be a health educator.  However, after only a few short weeks of this class, I am already seeing how beneficial this information is to my content field.  I never knew that learning the skills to teach reading and writing would open new opportunities for me to use in a health setting or classroom.
     This is my first blog so before I started, I wanted to go online and look at some other blogs that I thought looked interesting to see what they were about.  I always thought that blogs were like a journal for people to spill their emotions that other people really don't care about; much like facebook.  Going online and looking through other blogs, I see that some can be very informational and fact based like medical blogs.  I feel like any blog has the potential to be a good blog if it is honest and fact based.   
     In saying all of this, I am so excited to start blogging about my book, hearing other ideas and opinions about my book, and completing this class so I can have even more beneficial information and ideas to be the best health educator I can be!
