Most students take a composition course offered freshman year because they need to fulfill a general education requirement. I took the course in high school and neglected the pay for the credit, so I was stuck taking it again, here at college. I wasn't exactly wide-eyed and excited for it, especially at eight in the morning on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but I told myself it might not be so bad. I had talked to a couple of friends, and they told me the professor was awesome, so I went into the course, taking it as it came.
I not only got along with the professor, but he was distinguished in his teaching, and I enjoyed the class. I liked challenging myself, especially early in the morning while my mind was still fresh. I found the podcasts interesting, and I liked getting feedback on my weekly blog entries. I have always liked writing, but through the semester I grew to love it. It helped me become a better writer not only for the class, but for my other classes, and for future endeavors. I yearned to do well, and receive a high marking for my hard work in class, so each week I made sure to try and listen to the critiques I received on my blog entries.
I found myself correcting my grammar, vocabulary, and other qualities of my English in other classes. It helped me apply what knowledge I had learned to sound more educated and intellectual in other areas aswell. This course not only gives one the armor for success, but the necessary weaponry to overcome any handicaps. Even though room 031 was not my favorite, and the time of the course was not what I would have desired, I came out of it a better writer, the most important objective. I feel as though I succeeded in my conquest to achieve a well-deserved grade. This course not only gave me a credit for my "gen eds" but I also look forward to taking another English course in order to further my writing and exceed my potential.
