As a second semester senior, I was expecting to just go through the motions and get it over with. But time after time I found
myself working on my writings outside of class time. Now if you know me, that is a momentous event. My record doesn't exactly
favor doing outside work. It's not that I wanted to write outside of class, but I felt the need to finish, the need to get
down what I was thinking and what I wanted to say. I had many writings to choose from and I chose the ones I did simply because
I enjoyed writing and reading the most. They might not be the best pieces I have written, but they are the pieces that fit
most to who I am. My number one problem with all of my writings is that I would be thinking of some many different things
trying to better my stories, that when I had a breakthrough I would often forget it because my mind trying to go from so many
different angles. That is why many of my first drafts lacked detail, I was trying to get all my ideas down that I didn't have
time to fit in much detail. That is where the peer-review process came in and helped me. I just about always received a comment
on how I could use more detail, after all of my first readings. In all of my writings, I felt that I had good ideas to work
with and it was just developing that I had a problem with. I feel that all of pieces reflect how I think. My two long-writings
both deal with 'what is the right thing to do.' I chose to write about making tough decisions because I often place myself
in persons who have to make tough decisions and see what I would do. My passions are represented in my poems. I'd like to
conclude with saying how I enjoyed the class and enjoyed reading everyone's work.
