Goobye Blogs

As the year has passed by I have noticed more than anything that I have become a stronger writer. When I look at my first few blogs I can tell I wasn't sure what to write or what Mrs.Gilman was looking for. I wasn't confident in what I was saying and I really didn't write that much in them. In the ones that I did, what I was saying really was a jumble of useless words. Since we have had to write a blog just about every week I have gotten comfortable with writing them and getting them done successfully. I think that since we have to do so much writing in them that it's obvious we will all grow a little in our writing. I have improved on using less words but the words that I do choose leave a lasting effect on the reader.
I have always known that in my writing i'm very opinionated. When I talk to people I don't often share my thoughts or feelings on most things. I just sit back and listen to everyone else speak and nod my head. For some reason when I write, I let it flow freely. My blogs have definitely turned into my brain full of opinions and thoughts. Its like your sorta of getting a closer look into who I am in a way. I didn't really expect my blog to turn out that way and have it be all about that. The way Mrs.Gilman sets up the posts, your blog could turn into just about anything. That's what I love about doing them. It doesn't have to be a boring hassle, it can be a creative way to express yourself. I definitely took the opportunity to make it just that. I always tackle each blog with at least one thing i'm thinking about on that topic in each post.
What I will take with me from this blog assignment is to have fun. I think that is what she intended this to be. I have learned so much from this. I tried to make writing each blog post fun. It may have not seem enjoyable for me through my writing, but every time I sat down at the computer and read that weeks job, I tried thinking of a creative way to write it. I have also learned that writing a little bit each week or each day can go a long way. It helps you think of ideas faster and get what you want to say out there in a more clear way. Each and every post, I didn't have to reread what Mrs.Gilman wrote. I could read it one, maybe two times and already have down in my head what I want to say. This definitely helped me in other areas too.
To me what I have written is a time line. A time line of me improving. It starts from me thinking I had what it takes to be and Honors English student, to in the end being an Honors English student. Then there is everything in between. You can see my growth, where I didn't do so well because I didn't put my full effort into my writing. That is what I feel I have written this whole year. A way to track my progress as a student. A quote that I thought fit well was, "More you learn, more passion/Leads you to more wisdom;"


Leads you to more wisdom
