Dear Future Students !  

I am so happy you are starting this new journey in your life . The first few days of college can make you feel like things are changing , They are but I promise you it is in a good way . As time goes on , You will learn a lot of things ! About life , Peers and professors you are taking in the semester .  What I can recommend to you all is to not worry , you got this . Always Try your best ! If you need help, go ask for it , I can tell you from my experience I asked questions more than ever in my life . I felt strange because it was not me , As time went I changed in the greatest way possible .  Another thing I want to share out is to be open with your peers ! You can do this by creating a group in any social media such as Whatsapp , Instagram or Snapchat. It will be a way to help you through the semester . But if you are struggling with any subject like Math Or Science , The College has many resources ! To wrap up , Remember always keep your head up no matter what comes along the way , There are going to be days where you just can’t handle it anymore but you will do it . Good Luck 😉 in this journey live it up !

Being Part of a global pandemic has been a pro and con . It is shocking how the semester is about to end very soon , never have I thought that this semester would go by fast in this virtual world we are living now . Life itself has changed personally and academically .  There have been some good days , bad days, or even confusing ones . In the beginning of my freshman year , I constantly feared every day . There was not a minute where I felt comfortable knowing that there is a real world ! A world that consists of responsibility , hard work, and dedication . The key was be patient and not let those fears stop you from improving yourself .  Due to what we are living right now , I feel that every student is struggling . Without seeing anyone or having interactions , it is difficult . All I can say is that in this course I felt different than any other class . I blossomed.  All the unconditionally support by this course has helped me improve myself as a student . In short words , I am not afraid anymore . Looking back in time , I remember writing a time capsule . I mentioned to never give up ! That is exactly what I did . I have managed to embrace my writing styles which I find pretty cool. Never in my academic life I once felt comfortable writing or received the correct feedback for me to change the way I write . My plan is to mention a post I made with a comment from a peer , this feedback inspired me to put in more motivation to my unit 3 piece ! Receiving a simple comment from anyone can boost yourself , Let’s say you have errors . What can you do ? EASY go back and ready , you won’t regret it . Going back at your piece will make you realize what seems off and can improve it . Even if it is just a simple letter or word , these adjustments will be a better way to gain your audience’s attention . Another topic I will mention is about the Annotated Bibliography . This piece was challenging not just for me but for my other classmates as well . From what I can tell you I felt confident doing it. One of the reasons is because I had a bit of experience from my writing intensive course, I am taking my hospitality major . We were taught how to format it correctly ! Adding sources is one of the perks , you can choose an article or journal of what you found more informative that you can include . Adding two videos was amazing , I learned from professionals and their objectives . My topic was home economics , I am so glad everyone received an opportunity to express themselves about anything . Many peers wrote about special interests such as Climate change , Beauty Industry , Comics , Education and more ! To be honest , I even saw podcasts . In my mind , I always believed Podcasts were for only music-based categories but never had an idea that it was part of the English curriculum . All my life I thought writing was just writing , it did not matter . But now I comprehend what a writing piece can do in every genre .

Being part of a global pandemic has been a pro and con . Let me start off with the fact that life has changed personally , academically, and socially . But the most important part I would love to cover in this piece is on how my academic journey has improved throughout this semester . I can tell you there have been some good days , bad days, or even confusing ones . In the beginning of my freshman year , I constantly feared every day . There was not a minute where I felt comfortable knowing that there is a real world ! A world that consists of responsibility , hard work, and dedication . The key was be patient and not let those fears stop you from improving yourself . There can be errors you will make but that experience teaches you what can be done next time . So yes , there were moments where I felt confused and did things wrong! With help I now know . Within months of this semester , I blossomed . All unconditionally supported by this course and other one has helped me improve myself . In short words , I am not afraid anymore . Looking back in time , I remember writing a time capsule . I mentioned to never give up ! That is exactly what I did . In this course ,  I have managed to embrace my writing styles which I find pretty cool. Never in my academic life I once felt comfortable writing or received the correct feedback for me to change the way I write . I will mention one of the short stories we have gone throughout this semester . From that reading , I did not only learn the basic mistakes a person can make but learned how that feedback given will make you or anyone a better writer . I can demonstrate that from recalling my own experiences ! To add on , I will also be mentioning how I enjoyed writing my own genre . I felt free of mind knowing we had to do this for Unit 3 . This unit has taught me how to release all my thoughts into a piece , how to attract a reader , and most importantly learn about the types of genres there is in the world . There were some genres I did not know of until I recently saw my classmate’s posts that consisted of magazines , podcasts , and more ! To be honest , I thought podcasts where for only music-based categories but never had an idea that it was part of the English curriculum
