At the beginning of this course, I'm not going to lie, I really didn't like English. It's not so much the writing part, because at times it's nice to express myself through writing or writing about something i care about. It's mostly that i don't like writing to get a grade because I'm not that good at writing. Well, at least that was what I thought. I actually thoroughly enjoyed English101 and i think the main reason was because of the class. I loved how Carolyn generated interesting and meaningful discussions during the course of the semester and I loved hearing everyone's opinions on what they thought. Being able to write about what I care about was another way I kept engaged in the course. I am obsessed with nutrition and eating write, and totally against McDonald's and fast food in every possible way. I was able to write paper after paper about these topics.
Basically, by the end of the course I actually enjoyed writing. I wanted to make my papers the best they could be, not only because I wanted to get a good grade, but I just LOVED researching and writing about the topics. Trying to improve my papers through editing was not as painful as it used to be because I, again, wanted my papers to be the best possible. I knew the only way to do this is to edit and edit and edit. So, surprisingly, ENGL101 was an enjoyable class. I honestly loved going to the class every Tuesday and Thursday. It definitely changed my attitude about writing.
