From the begging of this semester to now my work has made some improvement. At the beginning of this semester, I did not feel my writing was as good and that my creative skills for writing were not good. Now I can feel like my writing has improved in a way that I can feel more confident about the things that I write about. My favorite assignment given was Unit 3 where I had the option to make a comic book that I had never made before. I really liked this assignment because I was able to be creative and try something new. My least favorite was Unit 1 only because I had a bit of a hard time picking a discourse word to write about. I have learned that I can write a whole article based on one word. Something that changed was writing my rough drafts where I spent hours or so it felt like hours staring at a screen stressing. Now I know that I can take a break from trying to write something so that I can refresh my mind and eyes. I used to feel frustrated thinking about new assignments because all I thought was “If I had a rough time writing the last this next will be worst!”. Having to start college online can be frustrating because due dates just feel like they are far away but then they feel like all of them are falling on top to crush me. The semester before this one made me feel like this class would be as confusing as it was because the professor would say one thing and repeat another and the due dates were not as clear. Now I know where to make changes using the feedback from the professor which was something that I didn’t get much last semester. One thing that has been sort of a challenge is writing what I understood from the quote that I used in my own words. I have not overcome it, I still need to work on it. An example from my writing, “These kids instead of being comforted in any kind of way get laughed at by the guards of these places.”. I had written this from my Unit 2 after a quote and I can see that I am just saying the same things like the quote just in different words. I can replace this with something like,” The guards who are supposed to watch over then kids and make sure they are ok, are the ones who are hurting the kids”. I noticed this is due to feeling stressed and rushed so that is something that I need to work on.
My topic for Unit 3 is being bored and sick of being at home during quarantine. I feel this is worth writing about because it is something that everyone can relate to since we were all affected by Covid-19. I felt this was important to show other people different ways that Covid-19 has affected people if they can’t relate to my comic. Being bored and sick of being home affects us all because we can’t do anything fun or things we used to do.
