23 Things for Professional Development- Thing 1 (Blogs and blogging)

Welcome to my blog suite! I am pretty sure you followed the red carpet of the CPD23 here. I joined about two weeks ago when it was suggested to me by my LM and the first thing that came to my mind was 'it's a holiday!'

You see, I come from a background of librarianship where blogging is considered as something unrelated to professionalism and even though  not frowned at but considered a reserve for youths or the young at heart. So when I started blogging last year, it was to put my thoughts down (even though I got discouraged a bit when I got no follower). I love writing and there's always a constant hunger to put my thoughts into paper and get it across to people. I do feel more comfortable with that than talking anyway.

Working in a different country and environment has opened my eyes to so many things and has sharpened my focus and perspectives. At present I feel so absorbent, taking in all I could from this whole new experience and I guess this may go on for a few more years. Looking at where I've come from, I feel like the lucky one everytime because I have at different times had diverse yet wholesome experiences all in this same career.

I hope by joining the CPD23, I would get to meet different people in my profession who I wouldn't have met otherwise and foster  professional relationships that would propel me forward in my career and broaden my horizon. I also hope joining would enhance and enrich my writing interests and give me new focus and ideas.

I am really looking forward to the Thing(s) 17 and 18 which is about presentation. Thanks for reading this and see you next week.
