though as soon as I began my fingers could not type fast enough to convey all the ideas I
had to write about. I never realized how much I enjoyed writing until then and am
thankful because writing seems as a great escape now, considering college life can be
hectic enough. Throughout all writing assignments they all have shaped me by
understanding that not all writing needs to be so structured. I have learned that as an
individual to make a better body of work I must let myself write without limitations and
then review to attain a kind of phoenix form the ashes type of essay. The ashes being
what is a messy uncensored first draft, and the Phoenix the final product.
Some of my favorite classes were when TED talks were on the agenda. Prior to
having this class I would watch these talks for my own personal amusement and having it
be apart of a lea son plan was not something to complain about. I had never seen the ones
shown in class and I fell in love with them. I personally found Dreams from endangered
cultures by Wade Davis extremely impacting. All this unknown knowledge about
different cultures around the world and their possible if not already extinction was a
haunting thought. My views of English as a whole was impacted as well throughout the
class and am glad to have been opened up to these facts that otherwise I would have not
known. Differing in style and context my favorite video was 3 ways to speak English
by Jamila Lyiscott. I enjoyed this video so much I emailed it to my mother and forced a
couple friends to watch it. I believe I enjoyed it so much because what she is saying is
true has such a creative way of doing so that it just brought me in.
In retrospect to the class as a whole I could not of partaken as much as I did if it
was not for my peers. We all helped one another by editing and providing advice with
writing or questions if something was unclear. The idea that we were all willing to help
each other and learn from each other as well is something I doubt I will see often in my
life and am glad that though for a short semester I was given the opportunity to do so.
