What have I learned?


                     When I look back on this semester...

         I have not only come to realize that my writing has improved, but have realized when you really put your mind to something it gets a whole lot easier along the way. Each and every single assignment we did was pretty different.

        I believe the paper I was most successful with was my Literacy Autobiography. Reason being, I can relate personally. I was there going through those academic years and some of the things I talk about in my paper you can see really relates to me. Sometimes in my opinion when your writing about a time that you were there its easier because it gives you the ability to write about the exact time. Its not really a right or wrong type of thing because everyone relates to the topic of going through academic years, but on a different route. The paper I believe I did not enjoy writing about to much was the Media one. There are obviously a million topics you can relate with the media, but when in the moment actually reaseaching you need a lot of reasonings and support to back up how that specific topic portrays the media for instance.

         The way I decided to construct my blog, I wanted to keep it in the same particular order we did each assignment. When you go down and read each assignment that way it can all make sense. For example, The third paper we wrote about Media and our fourth paper was our Research paper, they kind of follow a similar idea. If I put the reaseach one first it would not make much sense because in my Media paper its all about the topic of my reasearch.

         With these assignments I have done, and all the work I put into them I could say I am proud. I can now move on to the next English Class with the ability to work even harder, edit and revise papers to the point where I can not anymore, and really leave enough time to make sure there are more then atleast two drafts. The more drafts the more the paper improves. I feel like I have also improved in organzing my papers, where they follow exactly what I am trying to say. Hopefully all the hard work pays off, and the next course will be pretty similar.
