As we enter the last week of class , we’ve been told to have a Final Reflection blog post to end off the semester for English Composition I. This English class has been a blast and hopefully I could use the stuff I was taught and the stuff I learned to help somebody the same way I was helped
This class has taught me a lot more than I’d expected. It was days where I was having a bad day and thinking about dropping out but by the end of day all I could think about was how good class was. Most of the time I was grateful that I came in the class because it changed the way I viewed things. For instance I hated writing essays in High School, especially since we had to follow the T-Chart process. Making a chart and then writing a rough draft made me not want to do anything because of how many steps it was. I like to get straight to the point and in this class we had our own process and that’s what makes it so different from the others.We all had the same goal, which is to make meaning but a different process for each person. The class made me look at writing differently. Instead of looking at it as a punishment I looked at it as something that I like to do sometimes.Once again I say it’s probably the most thinking I’ve had to do in forever. The podcast and youtube videos help me with my Writing Process. The “three good things” process had a big impact on my process. It gave me motivation and made me become grateful for a lot. I remember not being able to write a paragraph without counting my sentences but now I start a new paragraph with a new topic. For a lot of people that’s not much of an improvement but to me it means a lot. The people in our class are different , everybody is not all drowsy and just quiet. Everybody was so open-minded and so positive to each other. The feedback that the class gave everyone was amazing. Everyone have their honest opinion on every single thing. Nobody agreed with you to make you feel better or to not be the bad person they spoke up about how they felt. I actually listened to the criticism and took what they said and learned from it. Dr. Seligman was and hsi PERMA model made me look at everything differently. I even watched his video on Ted Talk. The way i’ve grown in the past three and a half months from this class is amazing. My first day I thought I wouldn’t make it but after having doubts , I noticed it wasn’t the class it was me not working hard enough and I wasn’t working up to my potential. As much as I struggled through this course I Iearned so much from it and I will be able to use the knowledge and the process for probably the rest of my life.

I can relate to the feeling of wanting to drop out. It's nice to see that you stuck with it and ended up taking away from the class.
