Self Assessment

Blogging has honestly been a struggle for me in this first part of the semester. My late start put me behind initially and I never was truly able to keep up. Another impairment was the deterioration of my laptop. I no longer had access to the Internet or even a computer to post my blog; and, my hectic schedule never permitted me to get any work at the iLab for Howard students. It literally has been one obstacle after a another. However, on another note, I think that I might become more accustomed to blogging after this class. It feels nice to let out my thoughts and opinions. Although many people may not read my blogs, I still feel has though I am leaving my imprint on the world.

My experiences in the English course overall has been better than my blogging experience. Although I have been struggling with buying all the books I need, I believe that I have become a valuable asset to the class. I always voice my thoughts and opinions. I have learned to become a more critical reader and I have also begun to connect specific topics to the issues of the larger world. I believe my writing will improve by the end of this course. I am excited to see how it will evolve. I plan on perfecting certain writing strategies like causal analysis and definition.
