I warned you, right? This was pretty intense and unbelievably time-consuming, right? Reflect back on the beginning of this course – your fears, anxieties, worries, etc – and discuss how you turned these into strengths throughout this course this semester. What are your future goals as researchers? As writers? What was your proudest moment in this course? What do you think will most stick with you long after this course?
My main fear when starting this course was the sheer amount of work that would have to be completed. With work 20 hours a week as well as my other classes.. I really wasn’t too sure I could keep up with the work. And yeah I’ll be the first to admit that my paper wasn’t the hottest one in the stack.. But with the situation I feel like I did work.. Like DO WORK SON. Yeah that’s how I felt at the end of everything. I’m super proud of the paper that I wrote and even though it will probably get rejected by the majority of journals that I submit it to, that doesn’t bother me. I did this paper all by myself and I think it’s a very real reflection of me. My work ethic, my writing style, etc. This paper is me and I poured countless hours into this bad boy with the assignments, revisions, etc.
My future goals as a researcher are to apply the skills that I acquired in this course to other courses I take later down the line. With my Bio class I had to right a discourse that required me to do research and convince the audience that with the information I collected and organized I was in the right and the person I was against was wrong. This was really cool because I was taking the skills I learned in this course and applied them directly to a completely different field of story. Awesome! As a writer I want to just get better. Simple as that. Increase my vocabulary, organization, writing style. All of it. It really is an area that I have to improve in.
My proudest moment in this course was giving my paper to my group members and hearing from them that it was super good. Most teachers will be “Yeah that was good, good job” but that’s just because they feel like they have to be nice. But to hear “hey man that was legit” was really cool to see just because I’m on their level. They know the struggles I’ve had with this paper, and to hear them say my paper was legit.. Man that was so cool.
I think the friendships I made throughout this course will stick with me the most. I love making new friends and it’s always hard to do that when you’re thrust into a class of new faces and come away with 20-some new friendships is just soo so cool. I wouldn’t ever think I’d be saying this.. But I really enjoyed this class. And coming from me.. Haha well that is something! Nah I don’t have a big head 
I just thought it was so cool that I could enjoy an English class this much.
