Eng 1020 Thoughts

I felt i have come a long way in my writings since the beginning of this class. I would have classified myself as an average writer before this class. Now I have seen growth in my works, i feel that writing in this blog has also helped out. It lets me express myself, and gives me an outlet to let lots of people hear my voice through print. Before this class if someone had asked me to write a blog about a topic with 250 words, I probably would have struggled with it not caring about what I said but just trying to meet the word quota. Now this feels like second nature and not overbearing at all. Because of this class I have a better clue of what an analysis paper is about. I now know to analyze means to go under the surface to find things that are not so easy to find. This class taught me how to be an active viewer, reader, and listener over my work. The research papers I thought would be difficult, since I haven't fared that well with them in my previous experiences, but to my surprise I actually did pretty well on them. I wondered how hard it must be to come up with enough thoughts and research to fill 5-7 pages, but after I have done them three times now, I feel confident that I could do a 10 page research paper if needed. This class has prepared me for future classes because now I have the self-confidence to accomplish any tasks when it comes to writing.
