Blog Reflection

When I had first realized that I had to completer an English class I had thought to myself "This should be one of my easy classes". All I can say now is man was I ever so wrong. This English class is one of the hardest classes that I have right next to Math. Life and school for me this semester hit head on and is one nasty mess for my 14 year old daughter started to have some health issues. Most of my has been spent in doctors office's and staying up late at night watching her sleep to make sure that she didn't have another seizure while she was sleeping. Now with my time I am trying to concentrate on my homework and get caught up with what I can and also helping my daughter get caught up for she has missed several days of school. My head and my heart are not into my schooling as they should be for the many distractions but I feel I have learned a lot already. My favorite part of this class so far is the Writer's Workshop we did in lesson 5. This lesson was full of information for anyone looking to become a better writer. Some of my favorites were relearning all about verbs and adjectives, the ladder of abstraction, how to tune your voice in your writing, and the list of helpful habits. I believe the one thing that I would struggle in the most would be taking criticism. I mean who likes being told they make mistakes or that someone disapproves their work or writing. I can say if a person takes it the way it was meant and not look at it as disapproval then I think a person could use it to succeed in whatever they are doing. I still have to admit though I am enjoying this class I am not one for writing or blogging but have learned to better express myself. I hope that everyone has enjoyed as much as I have.
