Last Post!

The past few weeks have been very tough; having a total of 18 credit hours this semester, it has been a pretty big work load.  Thankfully with everything I was learning in this class, made it a little easier.  Learning about time-management was a big part of helping me figure out my tasks and finding specific times for me to work on each assignment individually. 
I know that even with all the grammatical things I have learned in this class, that I will never be perfect with writing, and that should not keep me from writing.  The more I continue to write the better I will become at it, just like with reading.  I started writing in a journal about my day, not only to practice my grammar,  but also to help expressive my feelings.  Writing things down in a journal helps me become very calm and relaxed.  I write about anything that happened in the day, what I am grateful for, some future goals, or just about anything that comes in to my mind. It also allows to me track what I ate for the day and compare it to how many calories I burned.  I will always have to be writing and communicating with students, parents, administration, just about everyone out there in this world and I am grateful that I was able to take this class and gain this knowledge I did.  Thank you to everyone that was a part of this experience and to Professor Aggen for being patience with my learning.

    I agree with you! I feel that I have learned so much more going through this class than I would have without it! I do need to learn to find time to try and read more to help with my punctuation and grammar. I like your idea about writing in a journal to help with grammar and to also help you with your calorie input and output! See you Monday! Best of luck!

    Maggie,

    Keeping a journal is a great idea! It does give you practice with writing, and it also gives you the opportunity to write your own history as you jot down your thoughts and feelings. I'm very happy that the time management skills presented in this course were a help to you! A little bit of organization is a great thing! Best of luck to you!

Week 3 Blog

 I know that we talked about how we must write a paper on a book that we have read in the past and I was shocked to see that almost everyone did not like to read.   Even though I was that person not too long ago; I expected there to be a few people who enjoyed reading for fun.  Then I realized we are all here for the same reason, to improve writing and I think that writing and reading fall under the same category.  I did not begin to talk until about first or second grade, an even after that I was in speech therapy for a few more years.  I am not sure if it is because of that that I struggle with reading and writing, but I have also had a hard time concentrating.  It took almost 25 years to find books and topics that I enjoyed reading.     A few years after high school I started looking into different ways to better myself.  I found myself reading a lot of small articles about fitness and health that I would come across on the inter...

Week Six.

As this course is coming to an end, I am really starting to pay attention to all the little things in everyone else’s writing.   I know I am not the greatest writer, and that only mean I have so much more potential to grow.   I like to look at things from a different perspective than most people.   I like to focus on the small goals before looking at the bigger picture.   I have a habit of really breaking things down in my life to make sure I am being achieve my highest potential.   If I focus on getting what I can done in this moment, then in the end I will see how all the moments add into one big picture.   For example, take graduation, I do not think about how much I STILL have to get done before I graduate, but I break it down and just worry about my current classes; even within those classes, I am breaking down each of the assignments.   When I break things down I like to try to put them into a time frame on my agenda, whether its homework tha...

First Week of Class

So many thoughts ran through my head as I slowly drove to my first day of writing class.  I have never really been a fan of reading or writing, because of how bad I am at English. Then recently I started listening to podcasts and reading motivational and inspirational books.  In the last few months I have truly been trying to live the best life I can and better myself in any way.   After sitting in class on Monday night I realized that this class is really going to help me achieve that goal of thriving not only as a person, but more importantly as a teacher.   Knowing how much improvement I must accomplish, since I am not the best at writing, I turn to my boyfriend for any help and motivation.   If it was not for him pushing me and helping me out, I would not be able to even be attending Trinity.   I am very grateful to be able to be in this class and excited to take in everything I can from the class.         ...
