Final Essay

Well when I first got here writing was nothing new to me because I have been using writing as a way to express my self on how I feel about certain things. But nothing I ever wrote was shown to anyone. I have to say since I got here a lot has changed.

I learned a lot more about writing and the things you do and don’t do when writing. And also how to use a blog and what makes the blog so fun is that what your writing is able to be seen and looked at as examples. Being in this class also shows you new ways to write and give you new experiences to write about.

Since I have been here the writing assisignment I liked a lot was my violence essay. I liked the way it came out and how much emotion it had. And the fact that it really happen just made me feel that I could share my experience and help people. And I really want to be a writer and in this class and all the writing skills. I really feel I could be a writer.

My life has been filled with many stories and hard times and to me there was violence everywhere I turned at times. To me this class and all the times we have to write is just a way to let all out. Another thing I learned here is how to write my essays and things on the computer because before they were written by hand.

Its like being here lets you voice what you think cause in all my other English or literature classes you just read a book and write about it its so much more here. Since I’ve been in the class I’ve also learned how to read in front of an audience. Because what some people don’t understand is when your reading a book to the class it’s easy. But when you reading something you wrote to a class it’s harder. I over came that feeling.

Another piece we did was the auto biography. I liked that one because I worked hard on it and it came out great. And what was cool about it was I did that before in 8th grade and then here my grade was better now. So that also showed that this class helped me a lot. And this class showed me that constructive criticism was to help me not hurt me because at first would make me mad. It doesn’t anymore.

The blog was another thing that was cool and also new to me. Because I love computers the blog just made it even more educational and more fun to write for me. Because people could look at your work give you compliments and things like that help you mistakes you would have made and always use your work to help them be examples for them. And that was nice

So I would say being in this class helped me grow a lot as a writer but also as a more confident student to do my work to perfection not just write anything down to make sure my work was presentable. I’ve learned a lot and Im still learning.
