My name is Donna and I live in Alaska. I would not say that I am an expert on anything but I do have a 'love' of knowledge and have determined myself to be a life long learner.
Some areas that I have first hand knowledge include:
 * Lived in Alaska for over 30 years
 * Home schooled children grades k-12
 * Achieving a degree through online classes at University of Alaska Southeast
 * Married 25 years to the same person :)

I use Wikipedia as a jumping point for several of my assignments but have never been able to use Wikipedia pages/articles as a stand alone source due to its very nature of being a wiki and most of my Professors believe that it is not a credible source. The most helpful page I have found in Wikipedia for my college classes was the page that explained what Wikipedia was and how it was edited. I was able to use this page to write a persuasive paper in my technical writing class explaining the merits/ disadvantages of Wikipedia Even with citations, my teacher was still not persuaded.
