I would describe English as being one of my strongest classes. I have taken some of the hardest classes available in the subject and managed to get A’s. However, the first writing class I took at this school turned out to be something completely different than I was used to. I had studied poetry before, but I had not quite done things the way they were in class. The first writing assignment asked us to write about ourselves as if we were a poem. We were to describe and analyze different parts of our life. I felt confused and stuck throughout the time that I was drafting this essay. I had trouble articulating what I was meaning to say and writing my analysis of my self. Therefore, I decided to go to the writing center to possibly get some direction in terms of editing and what I would put in my essay. I went to the Newman Library on Wednesday at 1:00 for a short walk-in appointment. Since my writing was really short and I did not need 50 minutes of one on one time. I brought both a draft and the assignment sheeet printed out. I got some really interesting feedback there. They gave me pointers on how to make my analysis stronger and they even helped me refine my writing that made my essay more pleasant to read. I spent a total of 20 minutes there in the library. With the notes that I got from the writing center I felt better editing and eventually turning in my first paper. I had really high hopes for this essay because i had worked so hard on it, but I got an A-. I probably should have worked harder tbh.
