My Thoughts on Blogging
At first when the teacher assigned this, I thought that she must be kidding me. Find something to write about, with 300 words in it, and do this everyday for 25 days. There was no way I can do this I reasoned. So I took the first step (which we know is always the hardest) and did my first blog. OK, that was not so bad, now the next one and then it hit me, hey I can do this. So we moved through week one and on to week 2, made it through it to week 3. Now we've arrived at the current week, and well I'm hating it. Topics are hard to think of and the words are not flowing as easily as before. When it first started I kind of enjoyed writing my thoughts down on paper, it gave me a chance to go back and look at things and really ponder them in my mind. Coming up with topics and words came pretty easy at first, but as time went on it became more difficult. I have become more comfortable with writing through this process. Then came the realization that people were going to be able to read this. I'm not really crazy about people reading my stuff. It makes me very uncomfortable. There are ways I say this benefited me, I have learned that writing my thoughts down on paper is very helpful. It also keeps my brain working and I have grown more comfortable with writing and thinking things through before I do or say them. I have also learned the importance of proof reading, it's amazing how many words you leave out while typing. Truth be told, I enjoyed the exercise, just wish it was not for so long and that other people were not allowed to read my thoughts.
This is a good and honest reflection. Every students experiences this project differently. Some realize they love and some don't and that is okay. It is all a part of learning. You should be pleased with what you have accomplished here. ~Ms. A.
