                This blog has taken a lot of time and effort to complete and I have learned a lot over the 10 weeks that I have been writing it for. I’ve learned so much about the medical field and physiology that I never knew before, and this information is so valuable. I’ve encountered useful information for career paths and topics relating to moving forward with my major, and I have also found just interesting articles that everyone can relate to. I have also become a better writer since I have started this blog. I think that writing this blog has given me the opportunity to write from a new perspective for a new audience. I have genuinely enjoyed writing this blog and I hope my readers were satisfied and entertained while reading it.

                The purpose of my blog was to hopefully provide my readers with a lot of helpful, informative content about physiology. I wanted to express the importance of physiology and the medical field to my readers and people of society. There are many reasons why physiology is important that my blog has talked about. I think that everyone should know about physiology because everyone should know their body and how it functions. There are many ways to talk and learn about physiology rather than just reading about organs or things that people don’t like learning about. There are many topics that are physiology related that everyone can find useful and interesting. If you have read my blog posts, then hopefully you have made this connection! There are many ways that physiology can connect to anyone’s daily life even without them realizing it.

                Not everything that I posted about on my blog is just about organs or organ systems. There were a lot of posts that I created that involved current physiological discoveries or studies that could relate to most people that read my blog. I think these posts, such as: “Is exercise Unhealthy for the Heart?”, “Why Water Can Be Considered Unhealthy” and “Which is the Right Way to Exercise?”, are useful and informative for anyone to read, even if they don’t know anything about physiology. Physiology is the study of the human body and its functions, therefore, everyone should know something about it. I think it is important for everyone to know their body and what it can do. I believe that my posts or the articles related to my posts can have useful information that can benefit anyone. They contain information about new scientific or medical discoveries and I found these articles very interesting and I wanted to share this information with my readers.

                My blog can also be helpful to people that are considering going into the medical field. I have written posts about different careers someone can have with a physiology degree and I have written about things that relate to physiology. This blog can be useful for anyone who is looking for information about physiology for career information and for anyone just looking for something interesting to read. Writing this blog has prepared me more for working in this field because now that I have had to look up information and articles about physiology, I know more about it. I have learned about new career paths that I can possibly take and I have also learned about new discoveries in the physiology and medical fields. I think that most of the blog posts were easy to write, except some of the prompted posts. I struggled during writing some of these just because it was a difficult prompt or it was just hard to find new articles to reference and write about.  However, I think that overall I was successful in writing this blog. I believe that I have delivered the information on my blog effectively and I have completed this assignment to its full potential.
