Before this course I anticipated writing a good amount of essays and reading books. I really didn’t know what to expect, accept that I had to be ready because high school was over. At the time I was fresh out of high school and I was confident that I would do well in college. Now that I am in the course and summer has passed I am not doing as well as I wanted. I feel like I have forgotten how to write a good essay. I also hoped I would improve as the weeks have gone by. I have improved in some ways but not in the way I would have liked. I have trouble finding words and brainstorming. It’s like I’m not really ready for college. This course has tested me. I have to do my work and show up to all classes or fail. I think that I have improved on my journaling. At this point I can just sit down and journal, but the first couple of journals I had a lot of trouble with. I couldn’t sit and just answer a question and have a 250 word response. I know that once this course is over I will be able to see my improvement and be happy.
Hi Kayde,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that you aren't as happy with the progress that you have made. Perhaps, progress is not the correct word; however, we all experience difficult times as you did with Task Three. But you were able to identify a possible theme for this paper, which in turn, turned out to be a great draft after all. You should be proud. Unfortunately, writing does not come natural to us all, including myself, we have to work at it and as I see it, there is beauty in this craft.
