Assignment 4

Self Learning 

This class was very different for me, compared to my other English class. All my other English class judge my writing based on academic standard.  More so on how I can argue an idea. this class has taught me not to put myself aside my writing  but draw myself into the topic by making personal connections.  The class writing made me feel connected with what I wrote about because I had a chance to tie it back into my discourse,something that I felt strongly about. My other classes gave me a prompt to write about and everybody in the class wrote about the same thing. Although the class writing had to met certain requirements, I felt like the writing was more free of choice . For instance, in the begin of the semester the class was assigned to write an editorial article. Instead of you telling us how to do it we was required to read other people writing articles and got a chance to gain our own understanding. Then we got a chance to choose our own topic to research. Good thing the class was required to read a lot of editorials because it allowed us to really understand how to structure one. Coming into the class I didn't even know what an editorial was less alone how to write one. Without this class I still wouldn't know how to write an editorial. The editorial article was one of my favorite own pieces of writing that I did in English class because I had a chance to choose a topic that I felt like was a problem for most college students. Looking back on that paper I realized most of my thoughts are embedded even me because I know in society its right thing to do. I mainly care about what's right and what's fair for people in the world. I feel rules and policy should expand to all people needs not just a certain class of people. Although, I know we live in a on equal world it was still fun to extend my ideas on what should be. For instance, throughout the semester I wrote about; karma, schooling being expensive, middle class and how physician assisted suicide should be legal. These topics was very important and personal to me. I’m happy I had a chance to expand on why my idea matter and had a chance to speak from the heart. Looking back on all my writing in this class, I would say my invisible narrative would be me really caring for other and how I want the world to be equal. This class gave me a chance to write and think for myself. Instead, of being taught how to think. I would say my writing always came from the heart and how I imagine the world to be.  This class have gave me a chance to not to over think my writing, far as it being right or wrong but me writing  about what I stand for. I feel like not over thinking my writing is a big accomplishment I made this semester because usually I focus on the wrong thing  and get lost in my own thoughts . I  had clear mind set on all my writing during the semester because I felt connected and didn't feel pressure on getting my point across. I really like the writing material for the class and on top of that I really enjoyed choosing my own topics. Moving forward I feel like I grew as  writer. I went from shy, to confident about what I saying in my writing. Now I know the true meaning of identifying language and  my own language as well. Moving on into a high English class I will remember to put myself (emotions) into my writing, no no matter the topic.
