Class Reflection

When signing up for this class I was excited to be taking a writing class. Yes it was an 8am and hard to get out of bed for sometimes, but I found it to be very productive every class and I enjoyed getting so much feedback on my work. I had never really had my paper looked at by so many of my peers but it was so helpful. I learned a lot about writing this course. I have always enjoyed to write, but with this class I pushed myself through writing much more. I began to think outside the box and realized that I want my voice to be heard in my papers. I tried being more creative and going all out on my first drafts and realizing that it's okay to have a "shitty first draft". I always had tried making my first drafts perfect, but what's the point? I liked being able to have 3 drafts for each paper and I will use that in the future even if it is not required. I have changed my mind about writing in some way by realizing it is not as hard as I thought. It can be a way to express myself and I tried to accomplish that in all three of my essays. I am very glad that I had the opportunity to be in this class because I have learned so much, and I have definitely improved my writing. I am almost excited to write papers in the future so I can continue to improve and the people will actually enjoy reading what I have to say. I learned so much from listening to the tone of papers to having sentence variation, and all of it has helped. I enjoyed this class very much and I want to continue to express myself through writing.
