I have thoroughly enjoyed this course and am thankful to have participated with such an amazing group of individuals. I plan to continue to be mindful of the various things I have learned and continue to utilize those techniques highlighted in this course in efforts to continue to build on my writing skills. I find myself using these techniques daily and when I am unsure of something I turn back to the materials I have read or book for answers.

My expectation is that in time and with continued practice I will be and feel more proficient in my writing skills. Therefore, I sincerely look forward to a wonderful learning experience next
