I would have to say that my first college English class has been a success. Initially I was a bit nervous about this class. To be honest, no one in our class has had much experience in writing. As a senior, that thought is kind of terrifying! With actual college approaching, essays and research papers coming from every angle and no real experience in that field, it is overwhelming.
My experience lies in my work at Louisana Girls State where I worked as a journalist. Before that I had only written about 4 essays in my highschool career. Although I had little experience, I knew that I enjoyed writing. Some topics are more difficult to initiate, however, after I plot my introduction paragraph the rest of the words just flow so easily! Now I have successfully accomplished 4 college level essays on various topics. (With great grades on all of them.)
It is astounding how much one class can prepare one for other essays and college classes. This class has helped me work on writing on a more mature level. My thesis sentences have definitely evolved with my new experience. Overall I just feel very prepared and pleased with my time and work I have accomplished in this course. Hopefully I continue on this route to reach my full potential with writing. I thank you for being such a understanding and helpful teacher who has taught me and encouraged me to do my best and succeed.
