I honestly think I did pretty well in this class considering the last time I took this class I dropped out. I feel I was pretty engaged when we were having in person class and started to lose interest once we turned to online but I still did most of my assignments. I actually put in more effort in this class than I ever have in any of my college classes from the past. Some challenges were getting used to blogging for the whole class to see and thinking of things to blog about. I just decided that I could do it so I did it. I feel my performance in this class was pretty well. Honestly I think this class impacted me academically in a way that makes me more confident to write for other teachers.
“It’s important to me to continue my education after highschool because both of my parents went to college and I want to follow in their footsteps. They made a really good life for my sisters and I. I also want to make a good life for my family someday. I would like to be successful in the career I choose and continuing my education is a step towards that.”
“I recently struggled immensely with my mental health and ended up spending a month in the hospital. While I was in the hospital, the meds I was on made me forget like 2 weeks of me time there. Some other patients tried to fill me in on what happened but I couldn’t remember anything. Being in the hospital made me want to continue college and maybe become a nurse like the ones who helped me. I had a really hard time being away from my family but the nurses in Generose made my stay a little better. They would play games with me, take me outside on nice days, bring me up to the art room, play on a computer and more to make me feel more comfortable. Someday i’d like to do the same for others who have to go through what I went through.”
I feel like I was pretty confident in these paragraphs, talking about what’s important to me and being able to talk about my hospital experience is a big step for me. Link to post
“Snapchat is an app where you can send picture messages, text messages, call, facetime, use silly filters, and post pictures. You can connect with people all over the world, you can see their location, what they’re doing (if they posted or snapped you about it), how long ago they were active, etc. There are so many different things you can do with snapchat, it’s crazy. Talking to your friends has never been easier and they’re always a click away.”
I’m proud of this post because I felt like I made a very good argument for why snapchat is a good thing. Link to post
Things I gained from this course are confidence in my writing and i’m not afraid to write stuff that others will read. I plan to keep blogging on my personal blog about my life and adventures to come.
