As first quarter comes to a close, my Humanities class and I had to write an essay about school. But this was a different, more divergent essay. This essay was all opinion on how we would change our most despised class so that it would be less dreadful to attend.
I wrote about my Consumer Education class, which I'm currently serving a detention for, and how my teacher's work ethics don't help me in learning the material I need to know. So, while writing this essay, I sat down, and I thought. The first thing that came to mind while writing this essay was, of course, "What class am I possibly going to write about?" Then, once that was done, I thought, "What makes this my worst class?" Well, aside from getting my only detention EVER from this teacher, was the lack of student to teacher relationship.
Well, writing this essay wasn't too difficult for me to write because it was an opinions piece, and oh, how I love throwing my two cents in. The only difficult thing for me was having to attribute three quotes from three different creativity articles to better understand where I was coming from.
While writing an opinion piece is generally easy for me, I realized I need to work on my form. I need to be able to take all my jumbled thoughts and put them in a better, more understandable manner.
One thing that surprises me about my writing, is re-reading what I have on paper and seeing how certain things can make me feel. What I see, personally, in my writing is my tone, I can hear my voice and hopefully all of you who are reading my blog can hear me, too.
All in all, this was an interesting paper that helped me organize my thoughts and writing in a creative way.
