Having this blog has been very useful and inspiring for me, presently i see it as a way of practicing my writing skills and having a little fun along the way but it wasn't always like this. When my ENC 1101 teacher proudly announced that we needed to create a blog and write in it every monday before midnight i was overwhelmed with the idea. At first i could only write about the minimum from two to three paragraphs. Eventually i started to like it and get used to it. By the end of the semester i actually looked forward to reading the topics and then writing my responses on my blog. Videos were also very fun to analyze and interpret. I could give my opinion on every subject and i could also look at my classmate's points of views on the same issue. Having to write in this blog was kind of a practice, it helped me do better in my essays, i was also more enthusiastic about class discussions and presenting my ideas to the class.
The blog made me feel more secure, it gave me more skills because i always tried to do better in each one. It also made me start enjoying writing because i didnt feel like it was a boring homework that i had to do in order to get a grade, on the other hand i wanted to express my opinion on different issues that were presented, i was able to talk about a very significant issue that society faces today and that is, abortion. I enjoyed many of the topics, videos, images and felt inspired to write rather than bored by the idea of writing.
Some of the things that i will change this semester would be the permissions on my blog. This time i would like to make it a little bit more private. Only my classmates and teacher will be able to see it. I also changed my background and added some pictures.
I am looking forward to this semester, the challenges to come. I know this class is not easy, it does require a lot of effort, work and study but its not impossible. We also had a lot of fun last semester because depending on the chemistry of the group, discussions in class can be very engaging and we can have more fun together while still getting the work done. Hopefully there will be videos to comment on because i loved watching videos and giving my opinion on them.
Other blog that i liked was talking about a social issue that was important to us, in that blog i felt free to express my feelings, give different sides of the issue and try to get other people to be interested in my topic.
I am looking forward to this semester's blogs and getting better at writing.
