After taking this course for the past month, i’ve realized that my passion for writing doesn’t lie with standardized writing like the schools take, i love free writing and just being able to flow with my words in a way that’s most comfortable to me without the restaurant of having to stick to one topic that is chosen for me or giving me a limit to what it is i can choose. I can say that this class has taught me new ways to express myself but it has also shown me that my limits can go way beyond if i just try. I tend to slack in writing classes, not because of an incapability to write, but because I am just not interested no matter what is taught in class. Since my freshman year in highschool i’ve been taking college courses that include writing classes and it is absolutely exhausting having to be pushed to such a high standard so young and now that i am a senior i’ve just stopped caring which really makes me disappointed with myself because i know my potential and i know that i can do better than what i am doing right now but i’m not and it is frustrating. All I know is that moving forward I will continue to write for me and not just for a grade in a class. It may feel tedious but in the end, the more I write, whatever it may be about, there will always be room for progression and improvement so I will continue to do what I love with the intention of it being my best.
