English 101 is going to be a cake walk, or so I thought as the course embarked on if first assignment. As the first paper came due I quickly realized I could not have been more wrong. Having always thought that I could accurately convey a story yet, finding it to be very difficult when doing so for a grade. Discussing issues that in my mind could be described in only a few short sentences, then turning it into 500-1000 word essay was my conquest and at times my demise. As I lay awake at night, my mind would be riddled with ideas for the upcoming essays. I would have so many great notions of what to write just before falling asleep; I would arise to compose them on paper only finding that once a pen and paper had been obtained the …show more content…

Learning that always giving 100% all the time, even if it does not produce an A, is always worth it. To never give up and charge ahead no matter how problematic it gets. I have heard several times throughout my life that the more you write, the better it will be; thinking this was a line used solely to encourage people to write, none the less, it is true. Not only does the process of repetitive writing make you better, writing also helps open the mind to let the soul flow freely, once a person has discovered this as I would like to think I have, writing becomes slightly more enjoyable. Writing on topics that I have a passion for is going to be a much more tranquil process because of this course.
As far as assignments in this course, my absolute favorite was the definition essay and my least favorite the research essay. Figuring out exactly what lookism was, as I had never heard of it before, made this my favorite project, and writing style. Explaining ideas and processes is something I enjoyed, not only because it a form I will utilize in the future and have used in the past, it also taught me the meaning of something I would have never known had I not taken this

    Before this quarter started I was fairly confident that I had what it took to ace English 101. After the first paper, I realized I was mistaken.

    As writers, many students write to the expectations of their professors and not to their fullest potential. Throughout English 101 I had been writing only to please my professor or to fill the basic requirement to pass English.

However, starting college and taking English 101 helped me with my weaknesses and changed my technique of writing essays. My experience in English 101 taught me to write to my fullest potential and to write what I felt; rather then writing what was required.

The main thing I will take away from the course is that it is so important to follow the format of whatever kind of essay you are trying to write. The format and terminology are the things that really pull together an essay and separate the effective from the non-effective essays. Like I said before, I learned quite a bit about pronouns and their antecedents. The lessons we did really helped to see what they right way was for certain topics such as grammar and essays. They are crucial to having a correct sentence. The things I learned in this course will follow me into all the future papers I write throughout my lifetime.

    The image of a pastor entering the pulpit from among the pews in the sanctuary described by Long is one that resonates with me, because it is genuinely where I am entering from. Perhaps it is to be expected when someone answers the call to ministry later in life, but I approach homiletics as a member of the body of Christ first and foremost. Experience as a member of the congregation and a Member in Discernment have taught me that the pastor has many responsibilities, but good, solid preaching is of the greatest import.

The multiple ways of thinking critically was interesting a good to learn about and transformed me into a stronger reader. The emphasis on close reading really helped me out a lot. Close reading made me simplify the reading most times and to follow the words and interpret the words in that particular order. From the first formal paper to the second formal paper I became a stronger writer as well. We were guided more on the first than the second, yet I still had a lot of good ideas and different ways to think about the second paper. In this class the value of life was discussed a lot.
