To say my writing journey at the beginning of this class was difficult, would be an understatement. My writing life in this class was very rocky at first, but, with help from many different things from past classes and things from new ones, I was able to grow into the writer I am today.

I will write more outlines, I won’t be afraid to ask questions or do revisions, those are there to help me succeed. I need to humble myself, come in thinking that I’m at a level with everyone else in this class, and not to except an amazing grade on every paper. I need to leave room to grow, and I feel like I didn’t give myself that chance at the beginning of the
