In high school I really didn't get an enjoyable English/Writing experience. My high school teachers always did the same thing. We would do the cliché reports about an author here and a poetry project there. I never felt like I was breaking from the standard writing assignments I did in the fifth grade. It is sad to think that I received the most valuable knowledge about writing in fifth grade. In middle school and high school I just felt like it was repeating the same grammar topics and the same writing techniques, such as the five paragraph rule.

So I hope to take out of this class a lot. I do want to learn and gain knowledge and just because I had a bad writing experience in the past doesn’t mean I can’t start having a good one now. I’m not going to lie, but I’m looking forward to the projects this semester. They all sound pretty interesting. I really think I will take a lot from this class, but maybe I won’t.

I’m really not big on the whole writing thing because I think it is time consuming and sometimes really difficult to write about the same thing for a long time. After this class however, maybe I will have different outlook on writing. Hopefully, I will have a different outlook on writing.
