What I Learned In High School Writing Class

My beliefs before taking this writing class was that there would be material that I didn’t learn in previous class such as high school. I thought I knew everything about writing because in high school essay were so easy to me. However, the essay we received in high school were much easier topics than I would get in college. In college you have to put more work and effort into writing because it requires more paragraphs than in high school. I knew that college writing had more than just 2 pages, I’ve heard from other students some professor require to write up to 5-7 pages. I knew I would have to put more effort in brainstorming because it was my weakness.
In this class I learned the structure of the essay, to learning how to write a thesis

    When I first signed up for the fall semester course English 101, I did not think much of it at first. I Simply thought it would be another writing course with boring prompts and no challenge similar to high school, but I was wrong.
