My Reflection

This has been one big learning experience from day one. I am very good with online classes as they give me a little for freedom to work at my own pace, but this semester has been the most challenging thus far. I don't know who told me to take two English classes at the same time and to take both of them online along with my second part of biology class. I feel like I write at least two pages each day. I do have to say that this class has been a fun learning experience because I have to write blogs. I have never, not even for my own fun pleasures written a blog until this class. The only kind of blog that I could think about was the ones that celebrities write so that people like me can follow then for entertainment. I never write anything back to them I just read them on my spare time which I have none this semester. So this has been fun and stressful at the same time.

Week one for me took a lot of me getting use to. I had to learn how to write on the blog and then go to the weebly.com website to find my assignments. I did use the contact email he provides us with on each page of his website. Then writing in your coffee house was rather interesting to me also. The what is an American assignment was fun for me to write. I had to take the stance that I was writing to someone who was coming to America for the first time. I enjoyed this writing the best so far. I believe that I did ok with week one assignments. I was able to keep up and the stress hadn't settled in yet. My other classes were going well, so I was happy and pleased with myself. I must say that going to the orientation has helped me out a lot. If I had to sit at home on try to figure this all out on my own, I might have been stressed out on day one. Now week two was a little challenging to me. I have never had to write a sublime experience so this was also new. I feel like when I got into it that I did a good job. No matter how I am feeling about the assignment I try to make it work for me so that I can give the professor what he wants and do a great job at it. I made this experience very personal to me and it took me back to my past.

Week three was starting to make me feel a little unsure about taking this online class. The readings for me are a little hard to understand so it makes my writing a little shaky. This week I had to define what I thought living a full life meant. I had never thought about this question so much until I had to write about it. This is another thing that I enjoy about this class. This class makes me think outside my box and be able to write about it. I do not consider myself the best writer or the worse but I do believe that this class will not only make me a better writer but also a better thinker. Now on to week four, where I am now in the class. This weeks assignment was about being the best you and about being self-reliant. A topic that is very important in America. I am not sure it is because we want to be more self-reliant as a nation or we think we are already a self-reliant nation. Either way it made me think about my life and how independent I am.

I enjoy this class very much and use it as a learning tool. I may feel a little overwhelmed at times but I understand that this will help me as I grow. It also gives me something to talk about at work with the order people. It is nice to see how they think and my thoughts. I'm not sure if it is the age difference or just the way I think, but it makes a very interesting morning. It also gives me a chance to see for myself that I am learning something in this class and I am understand my assignments. I am excited about going forward with this class and hope that I come out with not only a good grade but also a sharper mind.
