The 24-hour social media challenge actually made me grow as a person. The 24-hour challenge opened my eyes to many things like there is more than life than your phone and that when you are using your phone you don’t socialize. So while I was doing the 24 challenge I kept myself busy so I wouldn’t have to use my phone. I even went to the gym with my mom and sister to keep myself distracted which that was a good two-hour workout. As a person that just uses your phone 24/7, you don’t realize what…

Good evening or early morning, I apologize about contacting you so late, but I had a few questions about my grade on the Visual Analysis paper. I based my writing off of what you mentioned in class as well as the syllabus on Blackboard. You mentioned my paper was too much of an argumentative paper rather than an analysis of my image. Your feedback: "– The argument is strong, but so much of it is YOUR argument (and unfortunately I am not grading on argument or support)." From Blackboard:…

Chapter 4: Introductions and Conclusions I liked the visual of “framing” an introduction and conclusion. As a visual individual, I can spend hours picking the best photo (color, black, and white or sepia), then I still get to select the correct style, color, and size of the frame for the picture. I am beginning to visualize how important introductions and conclusions can be to a writer and their readers. The idea of a “mini-expert “ is discussed throughout this book. The benefits of becoming…

Before I could even comprehend the letters in front of me, my parents instilled in me a love for reading. And, thanks to their patience and diligence, reading and writing have always been my strongest and most beloved subjects. At the age of eight I had read the Harry Potter series multiple times and could recite my favorite passages on demand. By the age of ten I had read most of the books in my local library and by eleven I had begun to read the classics such as Pride and Prejudice. By…

Before I broke my dominant hand wrist during the winter of freshman year, I was used to successfully learning on my own for my courses and confident in sharing my ideas with others. After the injury, I was forced to compensate for even the most rudimentary skills such as practicing writing with my left hand. I was embarrassed to be struggling in the competitive academic environment that my college provided, and I didn’t want to hold back the progress of others. I suffered in silence. Upon…

An Essay Aabout Pagan Beliefs and Believers in Purgatory Throughout this Fall semester’s Western Literature class, I have had the opportunity to read a variety of ancient books, poems, plays, and essays. Throughout my time in this class, the assigned readings have broadened my knowledge of forgone cultures by requiring me to read a variety of works by authors I would have otherwise never read. Specifically, works such as the Odyssey, Aeneid, and the Divine Comedy have broaden the spectrum of…

Class activity 4 was very interesting and kind of difficult. We had to hear a list of words and then try to write down the words that we just heard down. Out of all the words that were told to us I was only able to recall eight of them. While I was being told the the list of words I was very quickly repeating them trying to remember them. Mostly I was trying to remember the ones that were told to me first and then I went on to try to remember the ones that were toward the end after I stopped…

For our 2016 National History Day Project, we have decided to do research on Christopher Columbus. When we first heard that the theme was encounter, exchange, and exploration, we couldn’t decide who to do. There were so many people with such amazing contributions and traits that were able to fit into this year’s theme. We thought, who is the most famed explorer in the world? The name that came to us was Christopher Columbus.. We knew only what limited information was taught to us and his famous…

to write, but because I like to write and desire perfection. I am motivated to write but within that motivation comes fear of failure, struggle with not being perfect as I write the first draft. As I write this paper, it has been a challenge to stay focused and to put my thoughts on paper without revising in my mind as I go. Moving forward, I need to explore my motivations with writing and let go of the fears and perfectionism that holds me back. I look at the entirety of my writing experience…
