Self Reflective

In high school I used to dread writing papers because I was so bad at it.  Coming into college I knew the papers would be longer and would have to be more developed.  In high school I felt as if we wrote the same papers over and over again.  It wasn’t until my senior year English class that I felt this change.  He taught us what college kids at Nassau were learning at the time and he graded like a college professor, so if you got an F you deserved it.  Not knowing what I was getting myself into the first paper I received I got an F.  Astonished because this is what I handed in my whole life and I would get at least a B.  Lets just say I dreaded this class but looking back on it, it really did help my writing.  I went from getting an F on my first paper to a B on my last.  
With the first few assignments done I feel my writing has gotten better since the first day but still needs more improvement.  What I like about this class is that it revolves around the Internet.  While technology keeps getting more and more advanced so are we.  The fact that we can connect papers online and Mr. Navarro can critic, is awesome.  Also the fact that Blogger and Gmail can connect like this I found that really amazing.  One thing I need to start doing more is organizing my paper before I write it.  I recently had to write a four page paper for art and I started writing and got stuck at two pages.  When I went back and planned out everything I was going to say and in what paragraph I finally reached four pages.  

Throughout this class, I've seen my writing develop. My senior year of english was by far the hardest year of my life. My teacher should have been a college professor. He taught us what college kids at Nassau Community College were learning. My first paper I handed to him had been just like the paper I've handed in my whole life. I got an F on my first paper. No one in my class received anything higher than a C until about halfway through the year. I dreaded this class everyday but, in the end it made me a better writer. On my last paper of the year I received a B, knowing that I deserved that grade made me feel better about my writing.
This class was a bit tricky for me. I didn't like that everything was built around the Internet. I like having my papers in front of me, I feel more organized that way. Although, I did find it interesting all the things we can do on the Internet. For example, how we can all comment on one page at the same time.
