Reflection

To whom it may concern:

English 110 was like no other English course I’ve ever taken. It was actually enjoyable, versus a big buzz kill to write. The freedom we had to write about anything that interested us was a joy. I learned that I was very opinionated and had a lot of valid points when it came to something I considered controversial. I never considered myself a bad writer, but now after the process I’ve been through I feel more strongly for my writing and care about what goes out with my name on it.

To be successful in English is simple, just do what’s asked of you by the assigned dates. Try not to do the assignments the night before (as I do a lot) because I’ve found that with more time comes more idea’s for writing. Having writers block was never a problem for me because of this. When you receive the assignment just open up a word document and jot down whatever comes to mind and piece it together later. Also a good tip is chosing a topic you feel you’d have a lot to say about, something that you might hate works well because there’s a lot to say.

When it came to my subject of Tiger Woods, I had a lot to say about how he handled his situation, the media, athletes and scandal, and the sport in general. As I continued to write and read secondary sources my own intelligence of interesting points grew astoundingly. This class is designed to get the most out of you as a writer, and for me it was a success. I was very proud of the paper I authored. With a little bit of work, it is easily attainable. Good luck and happy writing.
