Throughout the semester a lot of things stand out to me. What stood out to me the most was the poems. Every writer wrote about their experiences and how they saw things based on their life. My writing throughout these 15 weeks has improved a bit. My journey to getting here was difficult but not impossible.
I’ve completed many assignments throughout this semester. But the first assignment I’m most proud of is the blackout poetry. I’m proud of that assignment due to the fact that I loved the poet’s poems and really loved what she was saying in her poems. I felt like I was in her shoes and understood where she was coming from. Another assignment I’m proud of is the marriage proposal. I really loved that assignment because it explains both perspectives on marriage including those who are part of the LGBTQ. It really spoke to me how men think differently than women in a proposal. I also never knew that almost every woman thought about the same thing when they were being proposed to.
Throughout the semester a lot of us go through a lot of challenges. Mines were a couple of them. For me it was mostly time management and dealing with mental health issues. I would procrastinate a lot with my work and let everything pile up until I finally got myself to do it. I would come home from school and decide to do other things other than my homework. I would be busy at times where I wouldn’t have time for anything. But at the end of the day I chose to get myself up and still try even if that meant I was going to fail.
Overall I really loved being in the English 201 class. It really taught me a lot of things. I read so much and learn so many new things. Even though it’s been challenging for me, I really got it through and enjoyed learning new things everyday. This class has made me understand things more, especially poems and understand what others are trying to say. It made me like reading poems now then before.
