I want to start off by thanking each and everyone of you for being in this class and accepting me and my writing with open minds. Before this class, I was hesitant to share my opinions and writing because I was apprehensive of the feedback I would receive, but this class has changed that thought completely, now I am eager to share my ideas and writing in hopes of getting feedback and ideas that will help me improve. Working with you has helped me to learn how to share my thoughts both through writing and discussion. Each discussion we did in class gave me a new appreciation for the opinions of others and allowed me to open my mind to the incredible thoughts of others. This new ability never would have come about if it weren’t for the vulnerability of each student in the class for their willingness to share their thoughts.
Although group projects can be challenging, my forum group project was the most pleasant experience I have ever had and made me appreciate my group emensiously for all the hard work they contributed to the project. They each taught me so much and encouraged me to be creative and think outside the box. This project and group gave me the ability to understand why group projects are beneficial, and that is because you learn so much from the other group mates. The things I learned from this group project will help me in all group assignments for the rest of my life.
This class has been so beneficial for both my writing and confidence and I am so grateful for the help of my classmates for giving me the chance to grow as a writer and a student. I will always remember the enthusiasm that filled the classroom each class, which made the class extremely enjoyable and exciting to attend each day. Thank you and have an amazing summer!
Sincerely,
Micaela Gotfredson
