At the end of the term, I reflect on my accomplishments in this course. ENG101A was the hardest and most challenging class I've taken, but I really feel like it helped me improve as a writer. I never expected to take another English course in my life, let alone go back to college. When I thought of English as a subject, I associated it with reading books or poems on subjects that never interested me or felt like writing about. I have always loved the meaning of creative writing, but in previous studies, you rarely get to do what you want in professional life. I feel like that has changed for me in this class. Maybe it’s been so long since I’ve had a creative outlet to channel my thoughts and create something out of nothing. I believe this course provided me with a boat and compass to navigate the oceans of my academic career and develop the skills necessary to excel in writing.

Unfortunately, this sometimes makes me tend to ramble. I like to think that I am a credible source in my writing because I always check my facts to be sure that my content is true and
