I'm thankful for what I've learned...........

With my paper almost done I can honestly say that I do feel nervous, accomplished, and tired if that can be possible. Nervous because that’s the usual feeling I’ve gotten at the end of each term/class since getting back to school. Accomplished because of the practices and lessons I have learned throughout this class. Tired because of the schedule juggling or time management skills that is needed to accomplish not being nervous, lol. I feel I have learned more about writing professionally and knowing and understanding the difference between an informative essay and a scientific research paper. With that said, my idea(s) of writing has changed. Haven taken Comp 1 I adjusted my mindset to be open to learning new methods in writing in Comp 2. Having better acceptance of having my writing reviewed by my peers was challenging but also allowed me to see the changes I needed to make not only in my paper but in my attitude. Allowing my peers’ comments direct me or assist me towards the direction in which my paper would amount to one with a professional quality to it, and not just a quantity of words, was helpful in my growth as an academic writer, which can and will improve as I move forward in school and the workforce.
