My Learning Fall and Rise
On August 12th I entered the class thinking it was gonna be just a regular English class like any other one I’ve had in the past. My writing skills weren't the best at the beginning of the year but since I've been in this class they've improved so much.
But then I realized on how we got to vote on what we wanted our class to be like for the school year. Dr. Preston left the room and let us vote and decide on how we wanted the year to go. We decided on open source since it was something new to most of us.
My first initial reaction to the blogs and the journals was different because it was nothing like any other English class I've had in the past. It was hard to memorize the poetry and this resulted in not posting them and not getting the credit for them. This was a challenge because memorizing and posting poetry was something I've never done before.
The part where I felt the most tension and felt where it was gonna be hard was when we had to do the poetry and the interviews. I was nervous because I've never done a resume or cover letter or anything like that and I thought it wasn't going to be good enough.
Since August I've learned that if I don't do the assignments when they're first assigned then they will just pile up and won't get done. I've started getting on top of my work and it has resulted in better writing and blogs and journal entries.
I'm different as a learner in so many different ways since I've been in this class. My writing and comprehending skills have improved and it shows. Maybe because the topics we cover are based on our self experiences and how we relate to them with our own thinking.
